Rodan isn't a poor decision maker. Carries the ball for too long and stuffs up the forwards leads sometimes though.

?

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.

Is he free to leave Port without us having to trade? Is he delisted?

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

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.

^ 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
...the fighting fury...

Ditto. Rodan is too old now.

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.

This is a very real possibility, in fact verbal agreement could already be in place.
