    I've always thought he was a pretty reasonable kick.

    One of the players that kept their head up this week. Still obviously not a star but he's been doing alright on the wing and knows his role so he still deserves to stay in.

    Yeah Roarke is pretty good as a depth/ solid player. He fluffed a kick that was really poor and shouldn't be let off the hook for it, but overall he's been kept on the list for the right reasons and is repaying the faith pretty well.

    That kick was bad and he knew it.
    Did a good effort leading up to it may be fatigue got to him.

    But for that fluffed kick...he played the role he was designated pretty well. He's definitely moved up in the rankings on the playing list.

    He was trash tonight lets be real. These games are why we were all so mad in the first place.

    He actually wasn't. He had one trash moment, but he worked very hard between the arcs to support the defenders and also link up in transition. He also distributed efficiently into F50 better than most tonight when he had the chance - there was a bit of "long bombs to Snake" by some of our other mids which the Dees lapped up.

    Im going to call it, R.Smith is in best 22 for me. Just gets the job done. He was not alone tonight in fluffs.

    Roarke’s kick was a complete fluff. He wasn’t trying to kick to a two on one or risk interception across the face or long bomb to snake or some of the poorer decisions by our usually elite ball movers.

    His stocks rose last night. One awful kick aside, he brought the requisite effort and concentration to his role and I believe that executed above his pay grade.

    Thought he was good last night. Worked hard, ran everywhere and one of the few players to hit a forward on the lead

    What I noticed about Rourke's game last night was the composure he managed to find in that intense heat that other, more credentialed players, couldn't

    He seemed to think his way through situations really well.

    Great to see he's developing into a decent AFL player.
