Done Deal from Rodan via Sellar's Twitter:

“@DROD_00: nek minnit ...im a demon. Can't wait to get started #bringon2013 #thirdtimelucky #carnthedees!” Look forward to training with ya!

But why the urgency? Why not wait until he is a delisted free agent?

This way we are ensuring we get him and our late picks probably not of great value in any case. If he goes into the psd GWS or GC could snaffle him

Was just about to post the same thing Timmy

I assume PA caught wind of what we were doing and said 'we don't ahve to delist him, and then you won't be able to secure him until draft day...'

And we say - here is a draft pick we won't use.

Pick 63 or 70 is my guess.

So not delisting rodan, just to screw us, Why would any club do that?

And i think Port already delisted him?

Posted

seems we are giving a late draft pick to port for him (according to afl.com)

I know....that's strange wasn't he delisted?

Posted

A little bit old but I am actually happy with that. Puts pressure on the young blokes to stand up & be counted anyway.

Posted

Rodan just tweeted he is now a demon and bring on 2013!


Posted

If he can have a couple of injury free seasons with us we will benefit from his pace and tenacity, we will be a better team for it and that's all I care about.

If it's a bust we didn't spend anything substantial. I guess when the club said they would leave "no stone unturned" they really meant it. Anyway good luck to him, if all this means is we don't have to see lackluster performances from our other small forwards than that is a win by itself.

We are trying to do it with Cook, Petterd, Bate, etc.

And until you are off a list lodgement you ain't delisted...

Posted

We aren't going to waste our PSD pick on him. We will swap late picks to get him over the line.

I doubt Port are trying to get something out of this... They want him to play on somewhere else I'd guess

Posted

Good get! I rate him. Just needs too stay on the park. A late draft pick allows us to still be active in PSD.

Posted

It screws me with my Richmond mates, I reckon he was the worst player in the comp when he was with them, lots of action for no result. Hope he learnt something at Port.


Posted

And after the first 5 minutes of the first game he plays and his knee/hammy goes, who do we replace him with?

Someone else quicker than Moloney. lol

I am travelling through India at the moment and was taking some random snaps yesterday when I came across this bloke.

Was it an omen?

If that creepy guy on the left spying on you is David Rodan, then yes.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
