A lot of Brisbane Lions supporters are a bit iffy about whether or not he is a leader of the club as well. some are happy to see him depart the club, will have to see what they say if he does.

Seems like there's a lot to not like about the Lions according to fans.

^ honestly, they are in the worst position of all clubs.

They are in an absolute shocking state for a professional sports club.

It will take them a long, long, time to get everything turned around.

If any player wants out, then of course we'd need to find out the selling price. But the Lions probably dont want a bar of Collingwood for a while.

Apparently he isnt well liked and does not treat his team mates with much respect.
Thus if he's a pig-headed know-it-all, he'll get on like a house on fire with Buckley then.
Ha, yeah that's exactly what I was thinking, make it happen! Be good to see a few fireworks at the club, though I'd prefer winning ones!

Would they swap for Cloke! (Though I still want him to stay!)

His management are still adamant that he's staying with Brisbane.

Yeah there is an article on the AFL website saying he is 99% staying.

Honestly, I think he needs to leave the club.

He's staying with the club for the 2017 season, but beyond that anything is possible.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-12-20/angry-rockliff-looking-to-rediscover-his-love-of-the-game

BRISBANE Lions midfielder Tom Rockliff fell out of love with football in 2016.
Lost interest in football? Perhaps thats why no one wanted a bar of him in trade week? (That and his wage).

Yet to be seen if he will remain the Lions captain in 2017, but they'd better get a wriggle on.

Almost cant blame him for "losing interest", playing for that club. Bet he wishes he was elsewhere. Contract over at seasons end.

Nice bump.

Port Adelaide signed him as a free agent.
