From: Tigers close door on Fevola

October 07, 2005
Richmond onballer David Rodan yesterday informed Richmond he wanted to join another club after failing to come to terms with the Tigers.
The Tigers were exploring opportunities to gain either Western Bulldog Patrick Bowden or West Coast's Kasey Green, who is also being sought by Brisbane in a direct swap with the Eagles for young Perth ruckman Llane Spaanderman.

lmfao!
LATER DAVE!
We'll miss your ten touches per match playing on the ball dearly
-
Is this is true, tomorrow shall be very interesting for us indeed!
-
I thought if a player copped a long term injury like a ACL in the final year of his contract, his contract is extended by a year as compensation ??? a la Rory last year. Or is that incorrect?
Rodan's original contract was meant to finish up at the end of the month so maybe because he did his knee in the pre-season it doesn't work that way as it's been 6 months since the injury occurred. It doesn't make sense to me that D-Rod has failed to come to terms unless he didn't get a year's entension and his contract ran out now.
Losing him won't be a great loss IMV but if he's uncontracted then unless we can find a deal tomorrow which will be bloody difficult given his small stature and the fact he's coming off a knee then he can walk out in the PSD and we'd get nothing in return >:(.
-
Pies and Dons need pace in the midfield, although they might be thinking PSD they might trade for him aswell!
Don't be suprised if Miller tries to get Julian Rowe off the pies, IIRC Miller had a hard on for him a couple of years back in his draft year!
-
if we dont get rid of rodent now i will be very upset! talk about overrated players, here is a chance to get rid of a dud, who is not as fast as his lttle legs make out he is. he runs sideways to much and his field kicking is poor, ok he kicks a goal every now and then but i say trade him or delist him. beleive me he is nothing special and a risk
-
X MAN if you reckon rodan is a dud but ben Haynes is worth trading for pick 40... you have issues
-
how do u know pick 40 isnt a dud also??? rodan looks exciting but u cant judge a book by its cover

I think you'll find that we are requird to offer him a new contract as compensation which we obviously have (something to do with his knee being a workplace injury :-\) but I don't think we are obligated to offer hm the same terms (which one can only assume we haven't :help).
He was contracted this season - we have honoured that and now we have offered a new deal.............we will see what happens by 2.00pm.... which will probably be nothing - this is a Greg Denham piece remember ;D

Thanks for clearing that up WP :cheers.
LOL @ Greg Denham. Minister of Misinformation :rollin
-
From whats being reported on SEN it sounds pretty quiet down there.
Miller just spoke to them about 10 mins ago so i would think we have finished trading now if he was talking to the media, unless ofcourse someone approaches us.
-
I wonder if we would have got any decent nibbles for him if this was reported on Monday instead of Friday !!!!
We could have got atleast 1 first round pick for him, if the Kangaroos and Power we so stupid then surely we could have milked them aswell !!! >:(
All I can say is he better not walk so when his 10 disposal per match average continues in 2006 we can offload him at seasons end in the rumoured bumper draft !!!
-
Port and Roos trades weren't as simple as them giving up their first round picks for a single player. They still got ripped off though ;D.
Rodan was drafted at 33 because his size put most clubs off and he is coming back from a knee when agility and his speedy little legs are meant to be his main asset. If we could of got a first round pick we'd be laughing. I agree PRR that finding out he wants to leave the night before the final day of trade week was a real big help - NOT! ::)
-
Im sorry but i just dont think Rodan is was or ever will be a Richmond Premiership Player.

The days of the small rover midfielders seem gone IMV. That's why I have my reservations about Foley as well. I hope I'm wrong but you look at the midfielders we are competing against and they're big strong-bodied boys.
-
Rodan's game is a bit like a ferrari driven by a blind man. Knows how to accelerate but apart from that has no idea on what to do next and invariably ends up hitting a brick wall. We need quality disposal to our forwards and his run and pop gun approach doesn't do our team any favours. Fiona was almost the same but slightly more indirect and had a tendency to run in circles too often.
If he wants to go, let him. No great loss as far as I'm concerned.

Good analogy. I hope he exits Punt Rd. with the zig-zagging velocity we have become accustomed to.

I doubt very much he will going anywhere ;)
All a bit of bluffing I reckon on his managers part

foley is different to rodan in many ways and can survive with the big boys. why do usay this, because1/ he wins his own ball and 2/ he is also an in and under type. and btw , its an advantage being short when ur an in and under type .
he is not a receiver and dosnt mind teh hard stuff unlike rodent
-
In a nutshell X, are you saying Rodan is a skirt who don't like dirt? ;D ;)

thats exactly what im saying
-
I agree on Foley. To small, squad player at best but the truth is he deserves a chance. hes got 12 months otherwise he'll be gone as well.
-
IIRC Rodan went through a similar bluffing routine last time his contract was due, asking for more than he had shown he was worth. Still, can't blame a young bloke for wanting a beach house and a flash car in the garage. but his manager should be advising him better. Its one thing for a big-name players manager to up his contract through the media, but it does a fringe player no good to negotiate contracts that way. If anything, it just puts their career at risk. Rodan should just be happy he is on an AFL list and doing everything he can to get back up playing footy.

Rodan's future in doubt
Herald-Sun

THE future of Richmond midfielder David Rodan remains uncertain after trade week.
Rodan, who missed this year with a knee injury, is yet to accept the Tigers' offer.
The 22-year-old has been asked to take a significant pay cut on a one-year deal.
Rodan is believed to have been prepared to test the water in trade week, but there were no takers. The complicated Jonathan Hay deal swamped smaller trades.
Richmond football director Greg Miller last night said Rodan's manager had rejected a deal put to him last week.
"We haven't spoken since, but we expect everything will be fine," Miller said.
The Tigers are cautious about Rodan after his knee reconstruction, despite the 2001 draftee's potential.
Rodan's choices are to knuckle down at Punt Rd and chase a more lucrative contract from 2007 or nominate for the pre-season draft.
Rodan ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in a practice match at Morwell in March, ending his season. He played all 44 matches in his first two seasons at the Tigers.

Sounds like a bit of media beat-up. The offer give or take some tweaking seems fair enough for a player who is coming off a ACL and who despite (luckily) playing every game hadn't done much in his first 2 years of footy except for a couple of flashy games. If he stays he's got a year to prove he's more than just a fringe player.

Midfielder David Rodan would be expected to be offered a new contract soon.

farck him.
Let the little prlck see how many clubs are going to offer a one paced footballer, with one good knee and a one track mind a contract.
-
KMAO.
Poor bloke.
He's only doing the right thing as far as all professional sportsmen do nowdays,
ie playing the re-neg game.
I would have done tha same.
I blame the media for beating this crud of a story into the pile of crap it is now.
Face it,if the clubs offer was a genuine surprise to Rodan and more importantly,his manager,
these steps are purely srandard unless ur a complete idiot.
He's never said he wants out yet some are holding him responsible for Hiroshima !
-
this is the 2nd time hes tried this when his contract has been up for renewal. sack him- our club shouldnt have to put up with this type of poo from players like rodan.
-
Anyone know any stats on the supposed revised figure ? ?
-
Give the guys a break.
As Ox said, he has been offered a fair bit less than he was on before and all he is doing is trying to negotiate something a little better.
We should not be offended or crack it when he asked the club to see if there was any interest for a possible trade.
When the club wants to offer a player for trade they do, its all a business.
I also dont believe that he should be getting the same and he does still have to prove himself, hopefully he signs up and shows us what he can do. I think he suits the Wallace run and carry game plan. :thumbsup

Rodan to stay with Richmond in AFL
The Age
Breaking News
October 21, 2005 - 1:49PM
Richmond onballer David Rodan has agreed to a new deal with the Tigers, after earlier considering a change of AFL clubs.
Rodan, 22, who missed the entire 2005 season after rupturing a knee ligament in a pre-season practice match, has agreed to a two-year performance-based contract.
He had earlier been unhappy with a one-year deal offered by the club and asked the Tigers on the eve of the AFL's trade week earlier this month to sound out other clubs about a possible switch.
His manager Angie Papadopolous said Rodan's first choice had always been to stay with Richmond, but he had wanted to be certain about his future at Tigerland.
"It was just more about the security of what he was doing," Papadopolous said.
"He was never in question to be traded, there was a lot of clubs interested.
"It was just a matter of going through the process, both him and the club are happy."
The new contract was expected to be signed early next week.
Rodan, officially the AFL's shortest man at 171cm, equal to West Coast goalsneak Phil Matera, was recruited by the Tigers at pick 33 in the 2001 national draft.
The Fijian-born youngster had previously won two Morrish Medals as the best player in the Victorian under-18 competition, but was considered something of a punt at AFL level because of his size.
However, he played all 22 games in each of his first two seasons with the Tigers, 2002-03, and 16 in 2004, before having this season destroyed by injury.

I personally believe he will thrive under the Wallace gameplan, however i'm worried that his injury will cause him to lose speed and agility, which is basically what gets him past his height deficiency, and also is he complacent with his current skill level, does he want to improve or did all those walk up starts under Frawley make him complacent, like it did with Fiora and Krakeour?

His skill level would improve if he didn't run so far carrying the ball all the time missing out on options instead of going with the first option and passing to an open teammate.
I agree Razor the big question is how his knee injury has affected his speed and agility. I guess we'll know the answer by the time of the intra-club game in Feb.

he willl flop, foley will take is spot as our small man on the ground, more balls, more skill, better footy brain, better team player

You forgot to mention small build, slow and not agile (compared to Rodan, but he is slow anyway) and the fact that white man cant jump! :rollin
