Thanks Ben-Hur. Geez they really bag out his attitude on that forum, with comments like "My mail is that the old phrase "there's no I in Team" hasn't quite sunk in for Pedo". Well it might be all hearsay I guess.

Sounds a bit like a certain Mr Newton...Picket Fence will be over the moon if we get him ;-)

    The following link is a fascinating read on BF's North forum. Pedersen is certainly rated by nearly every supporter, but clearly has been out of favour and seemingly not well liked by the playing group and coaches. And there's no denying that his numbers stack up well in 2011. As a third banana behind Dawes and Clark, Pedersen would be a valuable player and a difficult match-up for the opposition. And Neeld seems keen to keep developing Howe's midfield ability.

    I'm only 5 pages into the thread I'm about to post, but it certainly alleviates doubts about his playing ability. I've always liked what I've seen of Pedersen, but it's nice to get the view of the supporters in question.

    I had a read there the other day and was surprised - the comments on the official NM website below an article or his profile (can't remember which) also were glowing about him and couldn't believe they were going to get rid of him. As far as I can gather the "questions" about his character seem to amount to his dissatisfaction with not being given a go especially considering Tarrant & Hansen were given multiple opportunities without showing much.

    ive heard there are attitude issues which could mean not getting along with Scott or other players or genuine problems. I hear neeld has avoided a number of players because of concerns re attitude and or discipline so that makes me wonder,

    But still as Ron Burgundy says - he looks too good for north to be so desperate to discard and for no other team seriously interested.

    Who wouldnt have an attitude problem if you believe you are better than some of the others getting games ahead of you. His VFL form and the few clips I have seen backup his belief that he should be in an AFL side, he is certainly good enough to be in Melbourne's afl side, so let hope it happens, then his attitude problem will disappear.

    The good thing was that no one was able to absolutely confirm there was a problem it was "I was told by someone who knew someone else" so I guess we don't really know and I would hope that the FD have done their homework. If it was the previous FD I wouldn't be so sure.

    Yes, but more specifically, has he asked for a trade to us?

    I remember there being an article on the melbourne website saying that He had requested a trade to the dees, but i can't seem to find it, I may be getting mixed up with the dawes article. I'd say he would be happy to come to us though as he would be guaranteed good opportunity playing for us, far more than he is currently getting at north :)

    Comparing Pedersen to Newton is off the mark. For a start, Pederson has already shown that he belongs (refer to 2011 season). I had him in my Supercoach team and he was a consistent solid scorer playing primarily in the backline. The fact that he has been very effective as a forward at VFL level underlines his versatility. Newton never looked like he belonged at AFL level, not once... well apart from that mark!

    he has belief - puts him ahead of many from the start for mine.

    There is thinking you are better the right way and the wrong way, let actions do the talking, bad attitude effects the whole team imo. Itis hard batting down the order when you are better than some of your peers but that doesnt give you a tight to be a doosh.

    In actual fact we used pick 3 on Viney and pick 26 on Hogan plus Barry.

    Does that make you feel better?

    And we my have used Pick 13 as it was, for something as well.

    In my mind it was 3 for Viney, 13 for Hogan and Barry and 26 for Dawes.

    And i cannot see a fault in this assuming peopel can accept if we didnt deal then we were paying pick 3 for Viney anyway.

    Great summation, however, he had a great year this year, but sadly couldn't break into a strong tall Kangaroo team.A great pinch hit ruck man, versatile as you stated- either back or forward.A great pick up IMO.

    I spose vagueness of form and maleable terms as "Rant" can be taken as the most vehement way of getting a point across!

    I have used the venacular "Rant" in this context of "Expression of opinion" not extremely nor with malice just as Expression nothing more nothing less.

    You'll know when I fire up, but this wasn't the intention with that particular post.

    Cheers

    Ps I would still love to get Pederson (Even with sans reported Issues) over the line and having seen Faren Ray's highlights package I must admit I may have misjudged him . I reckon the package as Mooted in the HUN this morning should be pushed with everything we have.

    Go for it Dees!

    Interesting that the North boys in that thread want Gysberts in return.

    It's because he's the most high profile.

    And you can put that down to BF Melbourne supporters over the years, including me.

    What are we missing here?

    Feel the same 'Ron', looking at some of his AFL highlights something is not right. He really looks the goods. Can't see the problem with him working as a team player, looks to give off to teammates in better position. What gives?

    I'm pretty sure the way this FD is looking at things they would not entertain him if they thought he had an attitude problem.

    Personally dont see where the club get can justify spending a high pick on a player that doesnt get close to their senior side. They dont want him and he wants out, why pay overs? How could North even expect overs for him?

    I am with you here.

    Just what IS wrong with him - sure Norf have lots of talls, but others don't yet we are the only interested party?

    I just hope our stand in recruiting team have done their due diligence and we don't find out too late that he is some toxic psychopath!

    PS: at 193 cm is he seriously considered a back up ruck man as well? 193! Does he possess some incredible leap, that Norf and nobody but us recognize?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
