Why not? We had Morton for a one year deal and we shipped him off and we got Rodan for the same draft pick. Regardless of on field work it seems Rodan contributed a lot more off the field. Which was the primary motivation for getting him.

I for one am sick of the so called commentators hitting us from both sides in the media. We pension off too many old blokes we get whacked. We go and get David Rodan and we still get whacked. Which one is it?

Theres not another club in the AFL that would give a guy thats done 3 ACL a 2 yr deal, thats why we get whacked.

David Rodan will be welcome anytime at the MFC.

Hopefully his 3 kids will wear Red & Blue Jumpers.

The playing list loved him. That is a positive.

GOTY.

morton for pick 88

pick 88 for rodan

see it how you like but if you wabt to get technical thats how it was

I get technical or I can talk about the 'spirit' of both deals - which was moving players for a pick that was not used on a player in the draft - a nothing pick.

Pure happenstance saw us trade that pick for Rodan and then Port traded that pick for Stevenson and then WCE traded that pick for Morton.

You can criticise the club for letting Morton go for nothing but leave Rodan out of it - we got him for nothing.

Im surprised he got a 2 year deal. I think we got more out of him off field where he obviously was a mentor to the young ones than what we got off him on the field.

However I think its sad he has done his knee again.

I think he will be more annoyed he will miss the footy show review.

Buts thats 3 changes off our list already. How many players do you have to clear at the end of the year?

Morton would have to be a monty to get delisted this year anyway, wouldnt he?

Unless he's somehow contracted for next year.
