Tom Rockliff (born 22 February 1990) is a current Australian rules football player for the Brisbane Lions in the Australian Football League (AFL).
In 2008 Rockliff, a medium sized, smart and creative forward, was the leading goalkicker in the TAC Cup with 59 goals and won the Murray Bushrangers' Best and Fairest award, but was overlooked in the main draft.[1] He was, however, drafted by the Brisbane Lions with the fifth selection in the 2008 Pre-Season Draft.[2]
2009
He made his debut in August 2009 against Collingwood,[3] but it was to be his only game for the year. He picked up only five possessions as Brisbane were beaten comprehensively by the Magpies at the MCG.
2010
Rockliff forced his way back into the senior Brisbane Lions side in Round 3, 2010 where he has since featured predominantly in the midfield rotation. He received an AFL Rising Star nomination in Round 13, 2010[4] and finished third behind winner Daniel Hannebery and Tom Scully in the end of year voting.[5]
2011: Club Champion
