Hard to tell on TV but it looked as though Edwards played on Rodan in the first half and King in the second half.

how was Edward & King games ??  ;D

edwards played a brilliant game, getting better week in week out, and king was very good, cant fault him either

lad has the game on in the lounge now, yelling to get out of bed to watch it  :lol

Are you asking me? I'm not one of the posse.

I reckon Edwards is a nicely skilled player who has had a pretty good year and will be at the club for a long time.
I reckon people who think King will be gone at year's end might be a bit disappointed. Hardwick has apparently put him to the sword on his return to the side the last 2 weeks and it looks as though he has been very disciplined with his attack at the man and footy.

Both were good. Special mention to another whipping boy, Matty White, who I thought was terrific the way he took the game on and for his clean handling and disposal in poor conditions.

Rodan was never any good at RFC and I didnt see anything last night for me to change my mind that us getting rid of him wasnt the right decision.

l been watching him since he left mainly because we keep in contact.
His form has been very good since his return from the last knee. Just going off the state of the ground, He would have had alot of doubts in the back of his mind about his knee & injuring it again. Tigers were hard at it & l see alot of thier players were going down from physical contact. must go watch  ;D

Agree FF.  His was one of the best wet weather games you would see for keeping his feet and general ball skills.  I was very pleasantly surprised.

Rodan played some very good games for Richmond. He didn't play well after his knee injury and delisting him was no surprise.

He has been good at Port Adelaide and good on him. I've enjoyed watching him play well for them and really enjoyed watching him being pantsed yesterday.

he never played very good games for us

he showed flashes here and there in spurts , zig zagging sideways and heading to the wings

his few moments of flashy play deluded many fans, he was crap, he still is crap

also helps when your got better rehab & development staff.
also helps when you got good ruckmen winning the ruck contests
also happy if he is beaten by our players on the day  ;D

Rodan is at best a B grader.

Not worth whinging about will go down as an OK player for port who struggled to be consistant. Exactly teh same at Richmond. Will come out in 3 weeks time and have a blinder then go missing the next week.

No need to waste forum talk on him anymore.

Actually FF, from where i was sitting (and everyone knows the value I put on the 1%ers and the defensive part of the game) Matty White was in my best 3 players. BOG up until half time. He was ferocious in his attack on the footy and the opposition when they had it  :clapping Gem of a game in the conditions

Port are checking whether Rodan has re-done his knee. It'd be his 3rd reco if he has.

That sucks! Let's hope it's not the end of D-Rod's career.

This must be the first 'LARS' knee that's gone again too.
