Early Life
David Rodan was born in Fiji and grew up in the town of Lami near Suva and is also of Tongan heritage. At three years old he moved to Australia with his parents. His father wanted him to play rugby union, but there were no rugby clubs for juniors in his area. Instead, he tried Aussie Rules, beginning junior football with Oak Park and the Holy Child Football Club in Broadmeadows, and he developed a passion for the sport.
Rodan rose through the junior ranks until dominating in the TAC Cup competition, winning back to back Morrish Medals (2000 and 2001).
