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

    This is the first time I've ever been sick to death of a player BEFORE he joined us.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
