Rodney Pope was a very reliable half back who played over 300 games for West Adelaide, Norwood and South Australia.

Pope made his debut for Westies as a 17 year old in 1962. His straight ahead style made him an immediate regular and in 1964 he won West's best and fairest, a feat repeated in 1968.

From 1969 to 1973, Pope was a regular State player, but searching for premiership success, he moved to Norwood in 1974. He picked up a best and fairest for the Redlegs in 1976 as well as being a premiership player in 1975.
