I think today proves that even average players can look fantastic in a good side. David Rodan today put in a similar performance as he used to when in the yello and black.

Well done on your great year David but to everyone out there thinking that he would have put similar performances in a Richmond jumper this proves how delusional you were

I was going to start a thread on exactly this. Only one game I know, but surely has that big, 'frontrunner' label now I feel. Exactly what frustrated us in most games he played, except today was one where he went completely missing. Not alone as mentioned, but the usual 'top' players at Port did their jobs.

Wonder if we worked that out and was one reason he was told to go...knowing we woud have a clean out and a group of young kids that needed players that 'make' games happen, not get involved once they are already up and on the go.

Yeah discount his QF, PF and 22 h & a matches...judge him on only 1 game :rolleyes:
trust me we know him better then you, he will play well when the rest of your team does and when there not he wont and there is nothing wrong with a player like him he was jsut useless to use while were rebuilding i think this game shows you why he was delisted by us last year, he couldnt get a kick in a poor team

but theres ocassions he played well when we lost, like the carlton match. The west coast match, where we were terrible...rodan had 5 clearances in that match.

that may be the case, but in general he is an outside player who gets the ball fed to him and uses it extremly well and at this time he would not fit into our side and there was no way we would get a trade for him at that time so you guys picked him up and well done to him. but for you smart ass's who have been coming on this board all year giving us shit about it. all i can say is told you so

Typical last placed richmond mentality. Nothing but a pack of snipers trying to vindicate your poor list mangment desicions. I hope with hindsight you were just as critical of coburgs pathetic performance... Shultz & co.

**** off knob, dont know what team you go for coz you dont show it:rolleyes:. but the decision to get rid of rodan was the correct one he would of never performed for us like that, and coburg made the finals why are we assessing there performance. and shultz weve assessed him on his performance for the tigers which was shit, but if we get rid of him and someone picks him up we will go through this shit with w***ers like you again. now **** off and get a life

that may be the case, but he will never be the player to stand up and play well when the opposition is on top. downhill skier. doesnt mean he isnt good, we are just pointing out why it was that we cut him.

mate he has been a very consistent performer in all the matches this season bar the finals by consistent i mean, regularly getting clearances and hardball gets, check out the stats yourself

mate, you are missing my point. i have not watched much of your team this year, but i am dead set certain that he is surrounded by a bit more talent at alberton than he was at punt road. when all your players went missing today, so did he, and we are just saying that he needs quality around him to be quality. we have been saying it all year and today really showed that.
 
Rodan yesterday played the type of game he used to play at Richmond. When the midfield stars of Port are not firing, Rodan is not firing.

Having said that, his year has been much improved and he is surrounded by wonderful midfielders which he didn't have at Tigerland.
