So would i. If Surjan is available as a rookie then go for it as we have quite a few spots open otherwise i think it will be hard to find the room. Almost our whole list is required apart from Strijk, Stevenson, Weedon and Wilson being on the edge.

Rather stick with what we've got than have either of them tbh
IIRC the rookie list is being reduced in numbers. I doubt we'll have much room on there at all unless we upgraded McGovern and/or Dick.
I actually think collingwood hasn't really won with the Lynch FA inclusion. They definitely didnt see the Dawes situation coming and, should the Dawes trade eventuate, it could potentially hurt them. Yes he was pretty s**t this year, but he would be there for a lot longer than Lynch will be as Cloke's foil. They would want Paine to come on nicely in the next few years.

Not really interested in Rodan.
Surjan could have some value.. he's still relatively young from memory.

Interesting that they now have Lynch with his limitations and at 30 will not get better. I think this has significantly influenced ther reactions and behaviour
they will probably have to target a tall forward in the draft no.
What are they getting for dawes anyway? what is the most likely ? depending on what they give up, i think it is a good acquisition for the dees.
anything better then 26 is overs i think, but i can see them failing.

Surjan will be 28 next season, Rodan will be 30

Hmmm not that young then.
I think we have more players in the role Surjan would be competing for, however rate Surjan as the better player out of Surjan and Rodan - if that makes any sense.
As a lock down defender in a FP whats the difference between Surjan and A.Selwood really??
Regardless of perception A.Selwood is a bloody good lock down defender on the FP's.

IMO, Surjan is a considerably better defender than Adam Selwood. He's also quick, which is a huge advantage on the nippy small forwards.
Would take Surjan as depth/possible cover for the inevitable injuries to Waters/Butler. Although perhaps it would be time to give Stevenson/Wilson/Weedon a game as cover.
Is it worth having Surjan as cover on the rookie list? He might not even get the opportunity to play depending on injuries. That rookie spot might be better used on a long-term, high potential player (Papertalk
).

pass on surjan @ 28 not even worth a rookie spot ,is not going to strengthen the list just another list filler.rather a 18 year old to put the time and effort into.look at it this way the club that had invested time and training into said delisted player no longer see's them a viable option and cut them lose,so why would we think yep they a worth a crack .Just have a think about really and delisted from port like how well did they go this year.
With a few blokes leaving we now have space on our list. Would love to give David Rodan a chance to win a premiership. Exactly what we need I reckon and dirt cheap.

Rodan? Surjan? Urgh! Gross...
Can't for the life of me work out why you'd want old, washed up players from Port Adelaide of all places on our list. We should be getting more games into Sheppard, Brennan and Wilson.

Jesus. Really?
If we're sniffing round delisted players, surely there are better options than Rodan, who's 29 and had a shitload of injuries.
Unless you mean this guy?

You are aware that clubs make list management mistakes all the time? Putting development into a young player doesn't equal success either. You should also be aware that good players can play in a crap side.
It's amazing how brainwashed supporters have become with the inclination toward youth.
Probably because he's a good player.

Way too old. Almost as old as Rodan.
its also amazing that some supporters think that washed up rejects at 28 and 30 would be a good acquisition for this club.I'll go on record now if wce draft either ,neither would play a single game.and its not brainwashed into youth its a rookie list not the scrap heap list for delisted crap.
I remember you unloading on Rodan a few months, just baiting bro.
Surjan would be a pretty good player I think, he'd be a handy get and would cost very little. Upgrade on Adam Selwood probably.

Brainwashed probably wasn't the best term to use given your inclination toward simplistic commentary.
