David Rodan

[Jackstar]

I was one of his biggest critics
just watched him play against Freo
3 goals , 5 tackles.
Well done David.
I would say a lot happy with the power.

Yep D-Rod played very well. A change of clubs have probably given him a kick up the backside. Also a full preseason after doing his knee would've help.

[DallasCrane]

Good on 'im, I was barracking for him.

[Rodgerramjet]

I've always liked Rodan, he was screwed at Richmond, I hope he carves it up over there.

what did richmond do wrong with rodan ???

[letsgetiton!]

wait 5 more weeks, as soon as it gets to his head he gets ahead of himself and his form just goes downhill fast as his wheels fall off and his grey matter turns to mush

Yes sensational game from David. Amazing what can happen when you are actually on the ground for longer than 4 minutes a quarter

Another good game from Rodan today. 18 possies, 4 tackles and 2 goals. Just like Polak some blokes need a change of environment and the kick up the backside that comes with it to get the best out of themselves.

I think that Rodan may have been on the outer at Punt Road for a while.

Probably under a lot of pressure to retain his spot where now he has nothing to lose.

thats what i was told too , by you know who!

and he also told me that krak plays under that  pressure every week. krak must be mentally strong to put up with it week in week out

[Tigertailz]

I liked him from the start but he just lost his way with us....im wrapt his doing well at PA..good luck to him

[mightytiges]

Rodan always did well in flooded conditions like the Freo game with us but he was very good again tonight. 20 disposals and 2 goals.

Timmy Watson comes up with the dill award for the week questioning why Rodan couldn't play like this under Wallace. Geez Timmy doing his knee in Plough's first preseason in charge might have something to do with it . Bruce then jumped in and said every Tiger supporter back in Melbourne would be pulling his hair out. Why?  ???

[Life goes on]

What amazes me after watching David Rodan last night is that he must of had 10 tackles
Dont know how many he has had after 5 rounds but it would have to be more than he had for his entire time at Richmond.
This has nothing to do with his knee injury I might add.
Might have something to do with the coach .
Mark Williams is an extremely astute coach

Being out of contract is probably the main reason. Rodan was on fire in Plough's first preseason before doing his knee. He didn't show anything on return and we couldn't afford to take the risk that he'd come good in the second year after his knee.

Port have drafted well since their flag. Trading Josh Carr who wanted to go home to Freo gave them two first round draft picks two months after winning a premiership. Now these kids are coming through and a cheap Rodan can get under the guard as a bottom 6 player in their 22.
