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!

I was thinking more along the lines of this mob ...

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

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    TRAINING: Monday 13th January 2025

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    TRAINING: Wednesday 11th December 2024

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
