WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CAMERON PEDERSEN

Tim Harrington was previously with North so I would imagine that he still has a few contacts there and I would hope he has asked the right questions about Pederson's lack of opportunities.

Lack of opportnuties or not, the simple facts are he was recruited as a mature=aged rookie & managed only 2 games in 2012 with a middle-of-the road outfit.

A depth player worth a late third round pick at best .. if NM don't want that, then forget it

    Whilst I essentially agree im coming around to the ideas floated by some that we do what we need to do to get what we ant. Others can work it out for themselves as to value.

    We could cut off our nose to spite our face if not careful.

    We want what we want...our only available currency is the picks we have, they disappear as exchange come 2pm Friday

    Pederson deal looks like going down the the wire. North want Jacobs and don't want to do a deal with us only to see us snaffle 33 for Martin after that. Tippett uncertainty appears to be cruelling the Martin trade. I suspect Pederson for 49 to us and maybe Jacobs for 38 to North at the last minute on Friday.

    They cannot expect to get the same for Pederson as they did for Mcintosh imo, is crazy, why even think that? i think we will get 33 and use it will be a good player imo, maybe a Haynes, Towers or Carter type

    If we get 33 we will use it.

    Why should we get 33 for Martin?

    Because he is a freakishly tall human being, and people of that size command a lot more than people of the same ability but 10-25cm shorter.

    Being tall is useless unless you can actually play footy ... still a very questionable attribute as far as Martin is concerned.

    Pick 33 would be madness for him.

    Tell that to clubs that spent similar or better picks on the likes of Meesen, Brooks, Robert "the lesser" Warnock, Lisle, Renouf, Hale, Paul Johnson, Wood, washed up Everitt, the list goes on.

    You need to list the picks they were taken the second time around for your argument to carry weight.

    Huh? That's not their draft position, but what they were traded for.

    You misunderstand me or I'm not making myself clear. I'm asking you ... what were each of them traded for?

    Well, it doesn't really add or detract from my argument, but as you wish:

    PJ for 29

    Brooks for 6 and 31

    Wood for 14

    Renouf for 33

    Lisle for 29

    Old Everitt 33

    Street 20

    Meesen 38

    Warnock and 69 for 24, 56 and 72

    Hale and 52 for 19 and 71

    I suppose it doesn't. But it sure stacks up as evidence as to why any club should proceed with caution with spud ruckmen!

    Doesn't seem right that North want us to pay overs for Pederson so that they can get Jacobs. Thats their problem not ours.We should pay what Pederson is worth to us , nothing more

    I rate Gysberts higher then Pederson, especially since our midfield is atrocious and we need as much midfield potential as we can possibly have.

    That's the issue, too much potential and not enough performance.

    If they want to make an early call on Gysberts then that is better than losing him for even less next year when we push him harder than we did this year and play him even less. He won't get a game next year.

    He won't want to be around after this contract is up, surely.

    It ll be depressing when Brock Mclean is tearing it up and we have Pederson struggling to make our first 22 due to the abundance of talls we have.

    It has been mentioned, that is robbery i agree, i would think a pick around 50 would do it personally

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
