When his teammate Dane Rampe picked up the ball and banana-kicked it down his throat, Rohan stuck out his left hand and took the mark. He put it through after the siren to complete a 19-point comeback with minutes to play. Against the Gold Coast Suns in Round 16, he had his best individual game, with 5 goals and 16 touches.
