I found Brock's biggest problem was our boys club mentality refusing to make use of him.
I don't know how many times I saw Brock on the fat side of the ground 20m clear of opposition heading through half forward when our Midfield/HBF Nutters kicked to a solo Betts or solo Garlett battling a 2 on 1 in the pocket. We took the 10% chance of scoring option and ignored the 30% chance of scoring option almost every time!
But I suppose that is how I developed my theory that we are the worst ball users in the competition, and it has been happening since the days of Pagan and it hasn't changed yet! :o
