Mark Ricciuto believes Leon Cameron will be the new Port Adelaide coach, but that it will not be announced until after Hawthorn's finals campaign is over. Cameron is currently an assistant coach at the Hawks.
'Roo' also thinks he has another big scoop, claiming he has information that David Rodan will return to Richmond this year.
Triple M's Ricciuto has previously gone with Kurt Tippett leaving the Crows while his Triple M running mate, Warren Tredrea, broke the news of Travis Boak re-signing with Port Adelaide.

Not sure why we would draft a 30 year old.

Talk about an obsession with PA players

I reckon the only port player we will get is Chaplin.
When did Mark Ricciuto ever say anything reliable?

what a load of crap, next it will be Jim Jess.

Probably as a rookie i reckon

At 30, honestly, no way, a wasted rookie spot, these are the type of crap top up players I was talking about when some posters decided to turn my words around.
Dave you were great mate and we should of kept you but sorry, give it up mate.
RFC, if this is the case, wake the stuff up.

He'll be 29 next season.

Still should we kep recruiting these top up players at that age, he will tie up a rookie spot/spot, ala Miller, Kingsley..etc...
-
considering Hardwick has pretty much said rookie spots will be used on mature players with the aim of coming straight in to cover injuries, being 29 years old is not such an issue.
Not sure that an injury prone, poor decision maker is the type of bloke they will target for this though.
-
Rodan isn't a poor decision maker. Carries the ball for too long and stuffs up the forwards leads sometimes though. but since our full forward doesn't lead then it doesn't matter, does it?
Rodan = good sub. IDGAF either way though. Just a rumour
-
yeah, poor decision maker was the wrong choice of words.
he has trouble settling and delivering properly when he bursts into the clear. He improved this a fair bit at Port

Coach, surely you meant:
Rodan is a poor decision maker = Carries the ball for too long and stuffs up the forwards leads sometimes.
-
;D
Nope. usually makes the right decision I reckon. At least when he has burned a forward he is still taking the ball forward. If he had ever played as a key forward then he'd probably get his eyes up earlier when weaving and dancing around blokes ;D Still, he normally does the right thing
-
No for me see it as a waste of a selection and has had how many knee reco's?
Can put the blinkers on and take on one too many players and overdo things.
Memo Jason McCartney game giving Daniel Wells one of his 10 tackles for his career.
No.
-
Is he free to leave Port without us having to trade? Is he delisted?

I actually see his biggest problem as not being willing to use his body weight to collide with other players enough. He is naturally huge and he should use it to impose himself on contests and he doesn't. He thinks he's playing touch rugby but he's not he's playing full contact footy.
He could hit contests the way Riccuto used to but he hits them like Kevin Bartlett used too.
The game is much more collision based since Geelongs premiership last year.
Pass on him, the game has passed him.
-
Yep add another Adelaide player to our list(sheeesh).

^ agreed...think it would be a waste of a spot on our list that could be used to a) give a young bloke from a state league a crack or b) give another big a spot...
...got enough of the same/same type players who are his equal or better - can't see the value in it

Power midfielder David Rodan could be coming back to Victoria
Glenn McFarlane
From: Herald Sun
September 28, 2012
DAVID Rodan is considering a move back to Victoria.
The Port Adelaide livewire played 10 games this season after falling out of favour with sacked Power coach Matthew Primus.
He was recalled for the final four games after Primus was replaced by caretaker Garry Hocking.
It is understood Rodan, 23, had been canvassed by Melbourne-based clubs in the past week, including his former club, Richmond.
Rodan, has played 176 games, including 111 with the Power, was yet to be guaranteed where he would play in 2013.

PORT ADELAIDE star David Rodan appears set for a return to Richmond, where he began his AFL career, during next week’s trade period.
Rodan, who was the star of last night’s player revue on The Footy Show, played just the 10 matches for the Power this season.
The Tigers are looking to bolster their attacking midfielders.

Zero chance.

Can't see and understand why he was good at the club but we have enough of those players we need guys with muscle and strong tall body no little fellas good luck dave
Go u tigers

Officially delisted by port today. Poor d-rod
-
At least he has his dancing career to fall back on.

Best ball bouncer ive ever seen

He obviously has a low centre of gravity and the ability to buckle his knees down low

Give him a go as depth! Would be a great mentor for the younger boys.
RFC would be stupid not to pick him up on a peanut wage.
-
RFC should rookie him and then they have their VFL captain for season 2014 when he can retire from AFL and then sign on our VFL top up list.
Remembering that we have must a list of VFL only players eg like the Selwood ex Brisbane who captained the Cats VFL premiership side this year

He was on sen and Hutchy asked him about a romantic return to Richmond and d rod just commented on how good his knees are feeling.

Yep.. We'd be stupid not to pick him up.

Just another player back in the RFC system who overuses the ball and takes on one too many players and will get in the way of a more credentialled player on the ground with poor decision making.
I like WP's idea Coburg in 2013 and RFC reserves in 2014 and even then I have reservations.

He's no Miller but he would be a great role model for the boys.
Has a smoking hot wife too, no Pia mind you.

D-Rod wants to play AFL footy.
I think we will have to pass on this despite the romance of him coming back to Tigerland.
I reckon he would fit right in if we were favs to win the flag for next year for some insurance.

No he'll distract the boys on our finals quest next year wanting to find bunnies in his Footy Skata routine. Pass Pass Pass.
Have not forgiven him for taking on 3 players too many in the McCartney game and handing Daniel Wells his number 2 career highlight in his highlight reel and his only tackle that stuck.

DAVID Rodan says his knees are fine and is confident of getting another chance in the AFL after being delisted by Port Adelaide on Friday.
Rodan's manager Liam Pickering said he had already taken interest from a number of clubs.
http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=149667&utm_medium=RSS
Delisted Port Adelaide veteran David Rodan looks certain to be thrown a lifeline by a Melbourne-based club, with Melbourne and his former team Richmond both linked with him.

Let him go because he was battling, no better now wtf r u people on about!
-
while i dont rate rodan never have, age has nothing to do with it , at 29 if he was up to standard why would you not take him if he improves our list.
this age thing is utter bull dust. the only consideration is cost and if he improves us. we are not trading out of the nd to get mature players so there is no harm.
have said often would have taken moloney at age 29 because he significantly improves an area of our side. depth experience are straight away addressed and the load on inside players tuck and foley is eased.
imo rodan has never really been up to standard imo to many poor decisions for one,
would rather give a high performing state leaguer a try instead.
an example of a short term solution with age is maric. we need a viable back up for him as a short term list managment thing. id do what brisbane did with ben hudson if need be and take a 30 yr old even just to fill the gaping hole for a yr and give some genuine cover while we find a longer term solution.
im hoping we are looking to rookie the likes of kyle martin paul marschall jack hannath tom sundberg sam dwyer and a fair few others. id take em over 18 yr old rookies any day.
have to say it, if we were to take 6 18 yr old rookies id bet we would get more out of rodan than 5 of them. 5 are likely to never play a game.
2 or 3 kids 3 or 4 mature types in the rookie draft for me.

Get it done, Tiges :clapping

No surprise Melbourne looking at him. :lol :rollin :lol

D Rod is a classic example of our garbage from a previous regime(s) who as soon as he went to Port and played in a reasonable side that made the GF albeit losing by 20 goals many starting saying why why why did we give him away.
As far as I am concerned we have worked hard to get our list to where it is and whilst Claw raises some valid points in terms of looking at mature players from state leagues etc, Rodan IMHO will add nothing to our list. In fact I think he'll get in the way of our 2nd and 3rd tier blokes who are starting to show some positive signs.
There is no romance in getting Rodan back to the club. Would be an error of judgement that whilst we may not pay for it greatly in terms of picks, salary etc we may pay for it on the field and the development of the side to this stage and what they have learned is far more imperative than the romance of bring Rodan back to Punt Rd, who clearly after 11 years of footy still makes elementary errors and plays that overuse type of game he has played all his career.
There are other players who have been delisted that can add more value to our list than Rodan.
Let Melbourne "improve" their list with him.
A resounding no from me.
-
No for me. Rodan may take games away from a guy like Helbig/ Conca who should be pushing for best 22 action. Otherwise he'll be taking games away from draftees at Coburg. No thanks close thread.

Are you in favour of giving Rodan a go too?
-
To be honest IDGAF. Just disagree with the "he'll take games away from [insert player]". If someone is having games taken away from them then they go to Coburg and force their way into the seniors. No more gifting games. I thought that was meant to be happen last season?
-

You either are for him or against him ffs.

Agree with the sentiments on if he is in the best 22 then he should play.
However if he is in our best 22 Im pretty sure we wont be playing finals.

Yeah but that's not the point. :cheers
-
Don't see much point in picking up Rodan. Only player he would be competing against is White, and I'm not sure he is even an upgrade on White. Gets a bit more of the ball, but my feeling is that White gains more metres per match. Anyway, we need to bring in players to upgrade on the best 22, not the 23-35 ranked players

A resounding no from me.
i tend to agree with all that.
you have to ask yourself what does he bring to the table as a senior mature player and the answer is not a lot. i ask myself how would he improve us and i dont really see how he can.
hes no moloney thats for sure. moloney actually gets contested ball uses pretty well leads from the front onfield, is tough brings experience and grunt to the side and helps fill a void in an area where we lack depth ie we only really have foley and tuck who play similar roles and we need cover for them. look what happened when foley got hurt. im sort of surprised we did not have a try for moloney given the state of our inside mids.
surely taking a mature player like rodan he must be able to significantly improve us and add depth to an area we really lack in i just dont see it. you could lump nahas edwards white king in the same group. its a group we need to improve on not get more of the same. i happen to think we can improve on some of these blokes simply by giving decent state league players a chance.
id rather we give sam dwer a go or tom sundberg or any number of 22 25 yr old mids that ive mentioned on this site in recent times. instead of rodan. they are likely to give you more and they have some sort of upside you nebver know they may end up being bloody good players.
in saying all that sometimes there is a circumstance where you would give a 29 30 yr old a go for a season to fill a hole. if say ben hudson was available for nix with our ruck situation you would give him a yr. theres your cover if maric goes down and your season is not derailed because of one injury.
im all for getting mature players and certainly all for trying state league players but not just because they are available.
we took leon cameron at age 28 cuz at what 31 32 nothing wrong with that as long as they come real cheap they both bought heaps to the table.
-
Surely we won't take him.
-
Surely we won't take him.
lol im with ya on that brother but this is richmond.

Come on guys if we can recruit Addam Maric why not give Rodan a go.

Rodan ready to roar again
By Nick Bowen
Mon 15 Oct, 2012
DELISTED Port Adelaide veteran David Rodan is hopeful he can extend his AFL career, saying his manager has spoken with several clubs since the Power axed him last Friday.
Rodan, who has played 176 games since debuting in 2002, was reluctant to divulge which clubs had expressed interest in him when he spoke with SEN radio on Monday.
However, he suggested his first AFL club, Richmond, was among them.
"There has been a few clubs contact me, which is encouraging," Rodan said.
"I still feel like I've got a fair bit left … [I'm] obviously hoping that the clubs out there will still want me."
Asked whether Richmond was one of those clubs, Rodan said: "There has been a bit of talk, but it's still very early and we've still got a few days, another week, until we finish up talks.
"But the great thing is I've obviously got a few clubs hopefully wanting me to get on their lists."
Rodan's delisting came after he played just 10 games in 2012. Having turned 29 last Monday, Rodan acknowledged he did not fit in with new Power coach Ken Hinkley's long-term plans.
However, Rodan said the knee problems that have plagued him throughout his career - he missed the 2005 season after undergoing a knee reconstruction and had LARS surgery on his left knee in December 2009 and, again, in November 2010 - would not stop him playing on.
"They're great … they're feeling really good," Rodan said of his knees.
"The last couple of years I've been injured with my knees in the pre-season and missed a fair chunk of the year.
"But this year I was able to complete a full pre-season, but just wasn't able to get some games, so it was a bit disappointing.
"[But now] I'm ready to go."
Rodan said his hunger to play AFL football remained as strong as ever.
Rodan played 65 games for Richmond from 2002-06 before the Tigers delisted him.
He soon made the Tigers' decision look a poor one when he joined the Power via pick No.86 in the 2006 NAB AFL Draft and played every game in 2007 as Port reached the Grand Final.
Rodan played 111 games for Port.

Rodan said today that we HAVE contacted him.
If you are talking about his interview on SEN he didn't say the RFC had or hadn't contacted him.
He said there had been a few clubs showing interest and didn't name any of them. He was asked directly about Richmond and he "umm" a lot but having said that he umm and arghd alot during the entire interview.

We haven't ruled out recruiting Rodan.
RICHMOND hasn't ruled out bringing back former Tiger David Rodan.
Rodan left Richmond at the end of 2006 - discarded by the Tigers after just 65 games and his first knee reconstruction - to become a favourite at Port Adelaide.
But AFL.com.au understands the Tigers are considering re-recruiting the midfielder.
The 29-year-old told AFL.com.au he is desperate to extend his 176-game AFL career and is ready to jump on a plane as soon as he gets a call from an interested club.
"I definitely wouldn't mind [returning to Richmond]," he said.
"I obviously played five years [there] and didn't get to my best football.
"If it came about it'd probably be nice to get back and show the club and the fans I've developed a fair bit and show them that I've improved a bit.
"Everything's changed since I've been there."

If we did recruit him surely it'll only be as a rookie like Miller and Maric was.

Rodan back in Tiger frame

"Everything's changed since I've been there."
Like for many in Rodan's boat - almost three weeks into the post-season - the wait is excruciating.
"Obviously a little bit anxious, a bit frustrating at times, but it's the process and you've just got to bide your time I guess until hopefully you can work something out," he said.
While prepared to go anywhere, Rodan's preferred option is to return to his home-town.
"My family and my wife's family are from Melbourne, so it'd probably nice to move back there."
For now the wait continues.
"It could be any time, but hopefully sooner than later."

If we took him as a Free Agent would we be able to rookie him? I'm not sure if we could do this. I think he would have to be placed on the main list.
I would like to see Rodan back playing for the club for a couple of years. He would add depth and grunt to the midfield and competition for spots at the very least. I loved him as a small forward early in his career before Richo savaged his confidence.
I'm not certain the club would take him over a young promising midfielder but perhaps they would over a late pick or rookie choice. :huh

Pls dont RFC it would spoil my high on trade period with the Gus Gawn news

Richmond....Move on from these players now...
PASS!!!!

The rookie draft is the only place the Tigers would consider re-recruiting former midfielder David Rodan, who has been delisted by Port Adelaide.

PASS! >:(

Only in the rookie draft.
Unless we have a serious injury he won't be elevated.
Let him play for Coburg. Will be a good state league player. He'll certainly help Coburg beat
Frankston in the VFL next season.
Plenty of other options for us in the rookie draft. He's lucky to be looked at.
I certainly don't think of him as more of a VFL player.

Where heading in the right direction why would we consider rod an specially know let's keep building the youth
Go u tigers

you obviously missed the part where hardwick said they were going to use the rookie list for mature players?

Would take Salopek over Rodan but don't want either :chuck

Comment From Tiger Man
would rather Tigers pick up Gysberts than waste more time money and effort into Rodan.
Herald-Sun:
If Tigers get Rodan it would only be in the rookie draft

Rodan apparently touring the Dees' facilities today.

Lol they're giving him a spot on the actual list. We offered rookie list.
Melbourne are just getting him to pee us off. Not that it will.
