Playing career
editCarlton
editRohde came from the Bendigo region and made his Victorian Football League (VFL) debut for Carlton Football Club in 1985. He played total of 46 games and kicked six goals for the club from 1985 until 1987.[1][2] Rohde left Carlton at the end of the 1987 season, because the Carlton senior coach Robert Walls had a low opinion of Rohde's playing ability and dropped him from the side during the 1987 finals campaign, when Carlton ended up winning the premiership.[3]
Melbourne
editRohde transferred to Melbourne Football Club, where he played 117 games and kicked 22 goals from 1988 until he retired in 1995.[4][5] The Melbourne senior coach John Northey had a high opinion of Rohde's playing ability, but Rohde was plagued by injury.[6]

In the 2004 season the Bulldogs under Rohde struggled again and finished 14th with five wins and seventeen losses. Rohde was sacked towards the end of the 2004 season, with four matches to go, but he agreed to stay and coach for the rest of the season.[11] Rohde coached Western Bulldogs in 45 games with nine wins and 35 losses and one draw, a winning percentage of 20 per cent. Rohde was then replaced by Rodney Eade as Western Bulldogs senior coach.
