Watching the Port-Roos game today I couldnt help asking the same question over and over again. Why is it that we sit back and watch D-Rod slicking handballs out of tight situations, creating space, creating plays, for the Power and we then watch Tiv Hyde and Tuck make **** up after **** up? Like dont know about any of you, I rated the kid. And the 3 above mentioned muppets were deemed more useful to our cause?
BTW, before everyone jumps in with their 3 cents worth about how he is surrounded by jets and that makes the difference. Yeah, understand, but that ultimately means that he had the goods and who was around him, i.e the above mentioned hacks, had JS.
Another monumental **** up. WTF, and we didnt even get a trade? Like you cant be serious GM can you? FFS, get the **** back into the back office and get someone in there that knows what the **** a footballer is. ;)
 
i hear you but just feel this topic has been done to death.bit like the franklin tambling posts.

yeah man, it has been debated and debated, but it still doesnt add up. Like who the **** makes the call on who can and who cant do? And is that person still employed at the club is what I ask. I cant believe TW makes the call, because it scares me to think that he deemed a Hyde to be more usueful to our cause than D-Rod. Like we are suppose to be sifting the cream from the shit. Now he aint shit as you can see, and Hyde is shithouse to the max as you can also see and I have been seeing from day one.
Ontop of that, to suggest that a player who has played, well every game? this year, in a side that is going to play in the GF and to also be a walk up start in that side for the GF, and to be an integral member of that side, to be just delisted, thrown to the scrap heap. And for whoever gets paid 6 figure salaries, beacuse they are suppose to know the look of talent, to be afforded the luxury of not being held accountable for just throwing away a talent without getting nothing for it, is completely embarrassing for the tigers.
If I were that person I would be handing in my resignation immediately. We are suppose to be building a side with what ever we can get for players that are worth something and we just tossed D-Rod away. Ridiculous stuff, comical to the max. Typical tiger **** up;)

i loved Rodan and was furious when he was delisted but who knows he is probably only playing so well because he has to to get a contract. If he had of stayed he would have probably been in and out of the 2's this year and getting delisted now anyway.. Its just a new lease of life i think..

bla bla bla, lets face it, what he needed to boost his career was a scare and he got it, that wasn't going to happen t richmond, from what i was told he was a real club man and loved richmond so i'm happy for him, i'll be backing him in the final :thumbsu:
 
you win some you lose some. get over it.

nah stupid, what you fail to understand is we win some and we lose alot. Thats the ****ing problem. Like we picked up Pat Bowden, Kent Kingsley, Ben Graham because they were cheap, and we got? ****ing JS. They get D-Rod because we said he was the same and what did they get? Now you might want to bend over and get it slid in forever, me wants answers as to who deemed him 0 value. ANd why he was deemed to be 0 value and others who must have been offered for trade, with no one wanting them were kept, even though the neon lights were saying they are ****ing 0 value. ;)
 
mate i agree with everything you said.he has been fantastic this year but maybe that is what he needed unfortunately.let's be honest he didn't set the world on fire at richmond,knee reco aside but he is having a ball playing with the likes of the burgoynes,pearce,cornes and co.
i don't know if wallace made the decision exclusively,i am sure the whole match commitee would have had a say and i have no doubt they would be mighty embarassed by how he is going.
we shall see if hyde gets delisted.i have a feeling he won't,a few`ahead of him in the line.

Didnt wallace say when he first got there that Rodan was the type of player he loved??

If he doesnt then they have NFI. Until the names Tivendale, Hyde, Pettifer and Tuck, no longer appear in the 22 we are also rans.
4 to go, but we wasted 1 with D-Rod, so I wait.
And for those who ****ing jump up and down with the Pettifer stuff and the benefits of Tuck. Dont bother, for me the 4 of them are completely useless when it comes to being contenders. ANd I mean, ****ing useless. Look at the 2 teams playing in the Gf and give me one team that they would play for, and if they would even make the list.;)

yawn. he did nothing at tigerland. he only came of age at port because being delisted put a rocket up his ass. i have inside info on this.

i'd put my house on it that if he was still here you'd be campaigning to get rid of him. Gee you look really good in hindsight don't you flogga.

dude, you are talking to someone that rated the kid. He was a pro in his approach and the way he moved and for the ****ing simple reason that he actually had a flair to take risks and to make something out of nothing. i.e. fuclking snapping a goal from mid air. Now go and ask Hyde, Tiv Pettifer or Tuck if they have any ****ing idea which leg to go with first to even attempt that? ANd the comical mess that they would end up in if they even dreamt of giving it a go.
Dip shit. ;)

i bet you were happy with tuck finishing third in the b and f:D
i actually like players like with the flair you mentioned like king and edwards who at least try to make something happen,not stand there like the proverbial stale bottle.yes they may get caught holding the ball ocassionally but at least they were trying to make things happen
 
Terry fuked up in one way but in another,we just dont have the supporting staff to "make" Rodan the star he seems to be becoming at Port,
therefore Terry made the right call.
Foley>>>Rodan.

Love D-Rod and have always only wished him the best.

I'm still proud of his professionalim and dedication.
Anyone that can stick it up the non believers is a winner in my book:thumbsu:

ur way off on Tuck mate. hes a great in an under player who averaged 22 touches this year and is way ahead of blokes like hyde and tivs (who also hasnt had a bad year)

3rd in our b+f
4th in comp for hard ball gets
i think 2nd in clearences at the club
an important part of our midfield rotations
 
WTF, and we didnt even get a trade?
What trade do you think we would have got for him, given that he was drafted by Port at pick 86? What makes you think that the 15 clubs that didn't think he was worth a pick in the first four rounds of the draft would have put a higher value than that in trade week. :rolleyes:

He was a fringe player at best at Richmond. He has progressed to being slightly better then a fringe player at Port. Big deal.
