Smacks of desperation by the Dees. It looks like Pederson was a "must have" no matter what the cost.

Obviously clearing the decks with Morton and Cook.

We now need some run and spread players with hurt factor. Can't see it happening this trade period.

Think of the Pedersen trade this way - we traded a player out that we didn't see as best 22, and I suspect not even close, for a player we expect to be best 22 and play an important structural role.

It's a big win for me.

    Out: Moloney, Rivers, Jurrah, Morton, Gysberts

    In: Byrnes, Rodan, Pederson, Dawes

    Nothing to jump up and down all excited about guys...

    Well said, I for one think Gys and Cale had alot of upside and let them both develop a bit more. Cale for pick 88??? We should have kept him. Gys for another "big" forward. I am of the opinion we need ball carriers and speed. Im not sure we have done that. Time will tell

    Rivers and Gys are the losses, we got nothing from Morton, Moloney or Jurrah this year.

    we fill 2 of our needs small forwards and tall forwards. Add 2 more mids in viney and pick 4 and i think we have the balance right.

    You cannot add 3 young mids in one year it will throw the balance out, when you can draft someone just as good as them next draft and spread the load.

    Cale and Gysberts must have been rates as the lowest of our prospective mids, especially with Viney and Pick 4 to move into their roles.

    We needed to cut some wood somewhere, it is unfortunate, will be very interested to see how both go, Gysberts more than Morton, but both still have "potential"

    Pederson seems to be an upgrade of Seller for me, some of the things I've seen of him he appears to have some skill about him and a good mark. Rucking abilities aside, he could be a handy 3rd tall and depending on how mobile he could play as a hit up half forward with Dawes and Clark as deep forwards.

    Whatever, welcome to the club Pedro.

    I think he moves better and takes more marks than Sellar for starters, i think he is definitely an upgrade on Sellar.

    Very misleading.

    If Viney and Pick 4 are not included then neither should Moloney, Jurrah, Morton, and Gysberts were out of the 22 by the end of the year if they were in it at all.

    How about this - From the Best 22:

    Out: Rivers

    In: Viney, Wines, Pedersen, Dawes, Byrnes, Rodan

    Clarke Dawes Pederson. We now Finally have a forward line that will keep opposition defenders busy. Our crumbers will finally have something to crumb to if only our midfield can get it there

    In the space of two years we have gone from effectively no forward line, to having a world class FF, a solid foil in Dawes, a third tall in the Pedo, a future FF/CHF in Hogan, and two experienced smalls.

    That's no options forward of 50 to a complete attacking line filled with permanent options and depth. It has been locked down for the next 5 years at least. Massive win.

    From now on drafts are midfield centric with a look at filling remaining holes, as opposed to bridging major gaps in structure. Again- this is a win. We will have many forward options whilst some clubs have none. We will stretch every backline in the comp. That's a win before you even step on the park.

    Confirmed he will be playing Forward/ Ruck. Sounds excited too!

    The bloke can seriously play but Brad Scott opted to play spud Hansen instead of him this year which got alot of north supporters bewilded.. they really rated this bloke very highly! Talking to a mate who is a north supporter last night and he said he shatterd they are trading him off. Said what you will get with pedo is Workrate workrate workrate!! he is a one touch grab with a bit of x factor too. He kicked 8 goals in a VFL game last year too which is a veiw into what he could become for us.

    Looks quite impressive against Port; has anyone got any footage of him playing against decent opposition?

    Kelly O'Donnell took on a new, specialised role focusing on players at the secondary level and those out of favour/out of contract.

    Pedersen's recruitment has got K O'D's paws all over it.

    This is the first test of his role and of his abilities.

    Fascinating.

    Hopefully we've been KOtD.

    “They’ve got a clear, defined role for me, which is called playing a link forward and ruck,” Pedersen said.

    If he can win some hitouts and kick straight, he can wear a purple wig and a pink tutu for all I care.

    "Pedo" is out. Not because of its double meaning, but because that is what Norf fans called him. He needs to be cleansed with a new nickname.

    • 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?
