WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - DAVID RODAN

Well the youth approach has failed dismally, let's get Dad's Army together and see how they go.

righto....

 

righto....

work in news, was done in area, literally bumped into them.

We're gonna go all the way in 2013!!!

So excited. ;-)


Rodan ? No

Probably thought Port had a Rodin.... that would look good upon Schwabby's desk :)

not sure about Rodan but would certainly make a big play for Mothra (although I think he may be going to Adelaide under the F/S rule -his dad being Tony Mothra)

Good spot Demon3. It's a shame you didn't spot Dangerfield, Toby Greene and Gary Ablett as well...

 

If we take Rodan but let Gysberts go I'll scream, shout, cry and seriously spit-the-dummy!

There are pictures online to back up his tour of the club today. It's true.

Umm why claims that and bother making a post if you're not going to post the photo?


He's an exciting player, but he seems to do a knee every year. If's it's not a full reco it's a 6 week PCL, or whatever is the equivalent of a 6 week knee.

Agreed. Rodan certainly does play with an element of flair and takes the game on at every contest. Don't see the harm in picking him up if the price is right (which should be next to nothing).

I know David and he is a top class bloke.

He is super fit ,and his knee is fine.

Can play forward crumber and midfield. Very quick and skilled.

Will add experience and a touch of excitement.

Byrnes and Rodan would give us 2 experienced, zippy crumbing forwards

Both come at no cost (except their small salaries)

We have been crying out for small forwards for 5 or 6 years

His knee is always fine.

Until it's not.

Watch people opinions of Rodan change as he gets closer to wearing our colours ahaha

Seriosuly though, it makes me sick to think we'd offer Rodan a contract yet have retired Green, and seemingly didnt do eveything we could to retain McDonald, Bruce, Rivers and Moloney

You have to treat every case on its own merits.

i just hope drafting these types isnt highlighting the FD having a case of 'the grass is always greener' when it comes to older types.

Edited by DemonWA

If we had 50 spots on the list then sure why not??

But if he makes the starting 22, which of the players we are trying to develop stays at Casey?

He is not in my best 22 at this stage. Clearly I am missing something.

I think people's opinions will change in the positive, he might even become a bit of a cult hero.

Remember it's speculative with all these players we are picking up, if 3 or 4 of them become regular senior players next year it will be a good result.

Will strengthen our list.

To have experienced players while our kids develop is what we have been missing.

Green retired ,McDonald left 3 years ago, Bruce is also long gone,Moloney and Rivers were desperate for a change and good luck to them.

I'd prefer we didn't pick him up.

I like the player, i don't mind the risk of injury (given his price), but from the limited times i saw him this season, his characteristic zip and x-factor seem to have diminished. 1 or 2 years ago, I would have been happy to have him.

watch the last quarter of the rd 23 port vs tiges game. His zip and evasive skills broke the tiges press and he was instrumental in port getting back in the game and forcing a draw. Based on this and costing us relatively nothing, no issue with it.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
