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.

I would Mature Rookie him and keep for Richmond VFL!

Funny I thought I suggested this on another thread  :laugh:  ;D

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

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."

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

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