Well done Collingwood for announcing it just before she goes on to appear predominantly in the all stars game

Well done Collingwood for announcing it just as she goes on to appear predominantly in the all stars game on now.

Think they did that on Purpose

 

[Vicky Park]

CFC website spelling her name as Roden and Rodan. Assuming the latter is correct.

I believe her surname is Roden and David's name is Rodan.

 

[Vicky Park]

I believe her surname is Roden and David's name is Rodan.

Ok thanks, so we should change the thread title back to Roden?

 

[Dynamics]

Ok thanks, so we should change the thread title back to Roden?

Yes please

AFL website recognising her as Roden also.

 

[Hagla]

Ok thanks, so we should change the thread title back to Roden?

Yes, according to the commentators it was from a spelling error they never corrected.

Looking forward to Moana and Roden teaming up.

If she is David Roden's sister, why are there names spelled differently? Is her husband's name Roden? That would be some coincidence, a Rodan marrying a Roden.

They misspelled David Rodans last name when he immigrated to Australia and never changed it. His sisters name is correct spelling. Thanks Maggie5

How did Maggie5 find that out?

 

[Dynamics]

Reminds me of Oprah Winfrey. They screwed up the spelling of Orpah but just went with it. Near enough's good enough, I guess!

Plus the other less accidental reasons that this can happen in some cultures. In some Slavic countries you could have a surname ending in "ovski" and the female version will be "ovska". And so on.

 

[Dynamics]

How did Maggie5 find that out?

Not sure if it's how Maggie5 knew but they discussed it during the EJW coverage.

Yes this is right, also had heard about the spelling before but didn't know why.

Their parents are purveyors of style and symmetry ...

Did Helen play in last night's game?

Nope. She still very raw so not be ready yet to play against the Best Women's Footballers

 

[soreplums]

Ex College basketballer, current PT and has some aggression. Will be good on the loose ball. Has only played footy for about a month though.

 

[Kappa]

Nope. She still very raw so not be ready yet to play against the Best Women's Footballers

Very raw but also 30 years old.

Strange decision I guess

 

[Burns2008]

Did Helen play in last night's game?

yes she was lively and kicked 4 goals i think and wins her own ball very very impressive
