Gary Rohan

[Levii3]

Taken pick 6 2009 draft broke his leg in 2012 R4 has had two full years since then. One of my favourite players but the question has to be asked is he going to reach his potential? You can't be 24 years old in sixth year average less than 12 possessions and go missing in games when the side is down.
He was taken pick 6 seriously he should impacting games he's playing like a player who came of the rookie list. He's played on solid game (half) of footy this year and that was against Collingwood.
Two years left on his contract if doesn't improve next year we should consider trading him.

I've got faith in Gary Rohan, I think he should get the Jetta treatment this preseason, make him run around with K.Jack to help get his work rate and endurance up.

He could also be struggling because of his lack of position, I think he should stick to either half back or wing next season.

His best is brilliant and is fantastic to watch...But very rarely seen.

His attack on the ball and opposition is ferocious but often ridiculously reckless...He's an instinctive player but not a smart player...

Seems very popular among the playing group and has infectious enthusiasm.

Unfortunately he's not consistently good, he's sporadic. It's hard to see longevity with him.

Here's hoping he finds some consistency next year and fulfils his undoubted potential.

A true footy player but another player that gets lost in the Swans game style. Would kill at Bulldogs, Hawks, West Coast, GWS, Suns.

Yes he has been inconsistent but the poor bugger has had so many injuries which haven't helped. I would be quite happy if he averages 12 spectacular possessions a la Cyril Rioli, which impacts on a game than 25-30 average possessions with minimal impact. Let him get a pre-season to get fully fit and hopefully have an injury free season.

Towers will put a lot of pressure on Gaz if Deano continues the trajectory of improvement he displayed the last few games

[jono2707]

Plenty of upside yet to be seen with Gazza. He looked on the verge of being able to tear a game apart a few times this year but injuries seemed to break his momentum.
He'll be back bigger and better next year.

I looked up where Nat Fyfe went in the draft today and was shocked that he was in the same draft as Gary & Jetta and went @20. But after watching one of the footy shows, there was a suggestion he was used as a forward mainly and only became special after moving into the midfield. Gary Rohan could be a very similar player if used as a mid only. Put him in the guts for a season, he is fast, he is hard and might just turn into a superstar!

When he played Under 18's he was what used to be called, a utility. He was an around the ground player much like the old ruck rover. I have always thought he should be playing this position. Not an in and under player and not necessarily an outside mid. Someone who makes space, runs to space, rather than leading up and crashing into contests. Also in this role making himself a spare defender. I just wonder whether he naturally has a big tank.

Certainly not a forward. Now that the sub has gone from 2016 maybe he can become the swing man we probably need.

I agree that his best position is closer to half back than forward, especially when we have our full contingent of tall forwards. I think he's best when he's forced to do something rather than create something out of nothing. He's not the type to make repeat leads that go unrewarded. When he played back toward the end of 2014 he looked pretty good.

I'd be tempted to have Rohan and Heeney providing run off the half back line next year as we looked decidedly pedestrian at times this year.

Rampe and Smith off the full back line and we should have plenty of carry out of the bvackline

Father time is catching up with McVeigh but he is a clever footballer and I's have him off the half forward line along with Towers. Hanneberry and Jack on the wings.

Why would you put Heeney on the half back line? He clearly is more than capable as a forward, and given his prodigious junior talent, will surely increasingly see more time in the midfield from next year, as that is where he will end up. He would be totally wasted playing off the half back line.

As for Rohan, I love his attack on the footy and how hard he goes. But I've got a bad feeling he is never going to live up to what we hoped he would become - he needs a big 2016 in my book.
