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 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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Recent meetings between Melbourne and Carlton have developed a striking and somewhat familiar narrative, underscored by a series of closely contested encounters ultimately decided by narrow margins. The Blues have won out on each of the past four occasions:-

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
