Rosas, in a forward line consisting of Charlie Curnow, Joel Amartey and Tom Papley as well as midfielders Isaac Heeney and Chad Warner, wasn't tipped to heavily impact the scoreboard, but was the surprise packet in the Swans victory.
The former Gold Coast Sun's performance inspired a thought train, researching some of the best 'bolt from the blue' moments in football. However, he didn't make it inside the top 10.
