Has averaged less than 10 touches and three tackles over his 100 games.

Happy to let him slide through to Geelong.

    Geelong seem to be on this weird, get all ex falcon boys to the club drive, irrespective of whether they improve the team or not.

    Henderson, Ablett, Dalhaus, Rohan...

    They're a sinking ship.

    We are crying out for his 9 possessions a game.

    Sadly for Gary, he has put in two really poor grand final appearances. Once is understandable, twice is deeply concerning.

    A late pick is such a big thing to part with? How is p60ish/ d johnstone doing? Or mitch king, Billy Stretch, P mckenna by comparison? Meanwhile a similar player of Rohans ilk in lewis jetta who has impacted a GF pops up with a critical play and goal in the last to seperate the two teams, if they win a premiership, his trade would have payed off with that one play - im sure the same Rohan commentary would be there with Jetta too. Not such a big issue to back the FD on a project player whos shown an ability to have an impact on a game with their burst of speed at AFL level

    Billy Stretch was having a cracking year in the VFL and was then one of our best v Freo before he was injured.

    Tom & Oscar McDonald were both taken in the 50's in the draft, as was Nev, Hunt & Harmes even later (rookie).

    Given how long Rohan's been around, I think his scope for improvement is a bit more limited compared to others.

    Rohan doesnt need to improve, his best has shown to be good enough in a Sydney team that has regularly made finals - he just needs to get on the park. I can see the reasoning for backing our current developing players and going into the draft. i just dont see how pointing to his stats somehow invalidates his worth given he's a starter when fit for Sydney. High impact player with fewer disposals.

    Im not going to die on the recruit gary rohan hill, but this board wants ready made outside pace now and not in 2-3 years, and like adam saad with his flaky contested stats, an oppurtunity to acquire the services of outside pace has presented itself - but everyone seems to not want anyone that isnt elite like gaff, who's eliteness means we've been outbidded on. Its only realistic to expect an immediate role player with a sporadic ability to impact a game  (when fit) at that cost.

    i know i should be quiet a little here and stop labouring on, but just an additional point that 6/6/6 next year will make it even more important to have someone that can run a pace ahead of others, or keep up with your gaff types

    I don’t understand what the cats are even trying to do with their list, Dahlhaus and Rohan are going to make no difference. This is heading towards Mark needs scattergun territory for them.

    Spud of the highest order avg less then a goal a game 9 touch's a game, most over rated spud ever, he is lucky to have been drafted by Sydney, Dom Barry has those stats, make watts look like the duck

    The problem is that Rohan can’t get onto a  park of any significance these days. Last weekend, he was running around in the NEAFL in front of a few hundred people while the likes of Mitch Hannan were dashing towards goal in front of 90k. 

    Rohan’s best chance of reinvigorating his career is back home in Geelong but I don’t think his chances are strong because of his history of injuries and the fact that he’s getting on a bit.

    I'll put it more succinctly for you WJ, we don't need other club's crap anymore.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
