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!

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.

    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
