WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CAMERON PEDERSEN

Featured Replies

Wonder if this signals Collingwood think Cloke is GONE - or is it just back-up for Jolly. If its just back up for Jolly does not exactly sound like an exciting role. But it does sound like a player of interest for us - if Martin goes.

Collingwood acquiring Pederson would put a stop to any potential trade for Martin, I would think.

They might be playing "the game" - maybe we have asked too high a price - they are trying to knock us down. Suppose we will all just have to wait and see.

Surely with Melbourne seemingly going after quite a few different players, it means that we should be preparing for quite a list culling. Good signs ahead...

 

Whilst I wouldn't mind keeping Martin if I had to choose between Martin and Pedersen I'd probably take Pedersen. He's a reliable type who will get the job done as a back up ruck/forward.


Seems like a replacement for sellar only we haven't got rid of him.

His versatility seems very neeldish and if he did become a dee it would be interesting to see if he played back or forward.

Davey Clarke Martin

Howe Pederson Blease

Could that work?

no watts up forward?

I would imagin hime up forward, Sellar as general depth, we may be losing Rivers ect

 

Hold on.

"This year's 'Gillette' AFL Trade Period."

FMD.


Considering Hale left north for a high 20s pick I don't think north could demand more than that. A pick around 35-45 should be enough I would have thought.

I don't think the Pies would be targeting Pederson as a direct replacement for Cloke (if he's gone). Not to say they wouldn't be interested in him, but I would've thought they'll want a bigger fish than that as their replacement forward for Cloke.

That said, I reckon Pederson would be a top pick up for us.

So...

Melbourne give Gysberts to Geelong

Geelong give pick 35ish to North

North give pedersen to Melbourne

Obviously we don't know what compensation we will get for Moloney (possible 3rd round?), but given his contribution this year, I expect I'd be comfortable to trade the Moloney compensation pick for Pedersen, who was impressive in his first year.

Insane that North would think they could demand our 2nd round pick considering they won't even play him.

Agreed. If we want him, offer our 3rd rounder or push him into the PSD with a front-loaded price on his head.

So why don't we send Martin to Collingwood for their 2nd round pick, then send that 2nd round pick to Nth Melbourne for Pedersen???

That's probably a pretty fair trade. There's no way we would get a first round pick from Collingwood, but maybe we could get a player thrown in as well as the pick. But I reckon a 2nd round pick would be fair compensation for Martin anyways, particularly if it netted us Pedersen.

I'm with you it does sound strange from Collingwood - I suspect they are playing the game. Something just does not add up somebody is playing funny buggers.

Obviously we don't know what compensation we will get for Moloney (possible 3rd round?), but given his contribution this year, I expect I'd be comfortable to trade the Moloney compensation pick for Pedersen, who was impressive in his first year.

I think it will be really interesting to see what some players are worth, in terms of the compensation handed out. There's already been some controversy following the Scully/Ward/Ablett compensation.

They should do an article on 'Who Melbourne isn't in the hunt for'

So far it seems like its no-one...

Is Pedersen really the type we want? Sounds to me like an outstanding VFL player and an ordinary AFL one. We've got loads of those players on our list already.


The guy will be 26 before next season starts, has played 16 career games, and can't get a game in a middle of the road side behind such luminaries as Robbie Tarrant.

Why would anyone think this would be a good deal, particularly as compensation for Gysberts or Martin, both of whom should be clearly inside our best 22 next year?

He may be better than what we have on our list in his position & may be able to fill a role that isn't being filled by a player on our list currently? If we gave up a 3rd rounder for example, its not going to really hurt us. A lot of younger players picked up around those picks don't make it so why not pick a player that will have some sort of impact straight away?

Davey Clarke Martin

Howe Pederson Blease

Could that work?

Not with Davey it wouldnt

I hope we can get a better small forward than Davey

So...

Geelong give pick 35ish to North

North give pedersen to Melbourne

Great. We give up the player we took at 11, who everyone agrees has talent and is still young, for a 25 year old VFL player who can't get into North's side and wasn't even good enough to be drafted as an 18 year old. What do we put as Sellar's value, given he played most of the games this year, is taller and was quite handy for us in a number of positions. To me Pederson is about pick 50, similar to Sellar who went at 54 despite being a top 10 pick as a junior. Gysberts would have to be somewhere between 15 and 30 given he is contracted and has tons of upside.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    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.
