I ain't in the industry but I must say let's not go too far in the other direction! The club was burnt by the myopic focus on 'playing kids'. Now, let's not go too far the other way and pick up players 24 and beyond.

I'm not jumping off the walls with excitement about his one, but he's a Demon now, let's support him. Welcome to the club, good luck in the Red and Blue.

It's a balancing act to be sure. But I agree with you ... Rodan goes a bit too far in the Bad News Bears direction.

The Bad News Bears implies more than one...

And that movie is about a bunch of hapless kids...

That's our current predicament!

I was thinking more along the lines of this mob ...

Wonder who thought that jumper was a good idea

Wonder what their clash strip would have looked like, had they been around back then.

David Rodan = great pick up if fit

If not fit = bad decision

But the way I see it if we can get him for pretty much nothing and on a one year term then it might be worth a shot.

I must say everytime I saw him play for Port he was very evasive, got plenty of it and provided that polish that we have craved for for many years...

No doubt we would run him thru a medical and have the knees tested...no one can question his endeavour.

Picking up Rodan wouldn't make sense as a midfielder or as a small forward.

We have Davey and now Byrnes who can play the small forward role and Rodan would only be taking away mid field time from Viney and perhaps Wines

Based on what I have seen of Davey for the past 3 years I would have Rodan playing as a small forward

Flash will be back and is a better player than Rodan

I hope your right!

Does anyone know how much Davey is being paid? I know we went pretty hard when reconstructing him the last time.

The obvious question is who would we get better value out of?

Rodan on a $200k package

Davey on maybe $500k

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025. Date of Birth: 7 August 2003 Height: 185cm Games MFC 2024: 23 Career Total: 48 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 1 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1 Melbourne Football Club: 7th Best & Fairest: 347 votes
