Nasty times for some players

Here at AussieRulesBlog Central, we haven’t had the opportunity to watch David Rodan ply his trade, week in and week out. We reckon it would have been a privilege to have done so.

 

 

We could never understand why the Tigers moved him on after 66 games, and now, 111 games further on, Port Adelaide have taken the same decision. Both clubs haven’t had lists full of blokes giving 150%, getting the ball, running and driving it forward. And yet Rodan is moved on.

 

Obviously the clubs know the man better than we do as casual observers. Rodan has had three ACL operations and is nearing 30 years old. These must be factors. And it’s true that Rodan hasn’t been a star, but. . .

 

Any time we’ve seen him, he’s been having a red hot go, and that’s all most footy fans want to see.
