Taken with a late choice to fill in and provide some experience, Rodan had his moments but was in and out of the side and, in the end, succumbed to a career ending fourth ACL injury.

Wow. You know it's time to retire when that's the best thing someone can think to say about you.

Kicked a pretty ripper goal against the Doggies earlier in the year.

Wondering how he will go on the d floor tonight with s crook leg. Still expecting greatness.

Clearly why we got him

I thought it was worth a shot at the time when we took him, but it wasn't to be. Offered a couple of really exciting moments, but at the end of the day the man that arrived at our club had a body that had taken a lot of punishment and it took the ultimate toll in the end.

Thanks for trying David. Sorry your career ended on such a sour note.

One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
