Brisbane are keen to re-sign the midfielder after his relationship with the club recovered this year with the arrival of coach Chris Fagan and his move out of the captaincy.

Carlton's interest in Rockliff is strong regardless of what happens with champion midfielder Bryce Gibbs, who is contracted to the Blues for next year and has said he is happy to remain at the club - a position he repeated publicly at the Brownlow on Monday night.
