Has injuries to both knees
Rockliff suffered a medial ligament sprain in his left knee and a meniscus injury in his right knee during last Saturday's contest against Brisbane and will be sidelined for 6-8 weeks, afl.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rockliff has recently just recovered from a concussion and the club believes he suffered both knee injuries on the same play in the match against Brisbane. Scans on Tuesday revealed the sprain in his left knee, however, the skipper's right knee became swollen in the days following the game and he ended up needing surgery to repair a meniscus injury. He'll be sidelined for a while with a chance to return either in late June or early July.

Best on ground in victory
Rockliff ended with 22 disposals (nine kicks, 13 handballs) and nine tackles in Thursday's 58-42 victory over Geelong in the first qualifying final.
ANALYSIS
Rockliff made his presence felt all over the ground, tallying a game-high nine tackles to go with five clearances, four inside-50s and five intercepts. It was an impressive performance by the Power who withstood a number of Geelong comebacks. They will now get the week off before suiting up again, this time with a grand final spot on the line.
