Tom Rockliff

Captain of the Lions last season, before almost finding himself at a new club at the end of the year, it has been a difficult few seasons for Tom Rockliff.

The 26-year-old has been bashed from pillar to post in the media with his leadership and quality as a player questioned by many. This season is instrumental for the onballer.

He must knuckle down and prove to his teammates and new coach, with whom he can have a fresh start, that he is good enough to be one of the game's top midfielders. Alternately, if he does not want to remain at the Lions, it's time to step up and increase his value.
