Off to Geraldton to play Fremantle in a meaningless practice match. As expected the Tigers took a half strength side and predictably enough were soundly beaten. Rodan did not play. If it had been a real game he probably would have, but given the distance to be traveled and the fact that the match meant nothing it was decided not to risk aggravating the injury he picked up against Melbourne. As next week's practice game is against Carlton at Optus Oval I'll be surprised if D-Rod doesn't get a run.
