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.

    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.

    You mean that would clash with anything else!

    Actually it would clash with anything decent.

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
