After a disappointing first year at the club Pedersen resurrected his career and showed versatility by filling a number of roles including back up ruck and key defence and forward positions.

Cam was the highlight of 2014. I am very happy for him.

One mystery was why he was left out of the side for the final match of the season against his old club North Melbourne. Two weeks earlier he was Casey's best and kicked three goals in a losing side.

Team balance or did the selectors not want to do the obvious and drop someone else who didn't really deserve his place in the team?

I can't think of another player turning it around as quickly as Pedersen did this year. He became one of our most reliable players and provided a target up forward. Even though he faded out a bit in the latter part of the season, I'm really impressed with how he went about it in 2014 and am keen to see him improve further.

One word - confidence.

Go look at the hawks team and how they play - puopolo, Langford, smith, gunston all playing out of their skin, but comparatively average footballers until recently. Confidence can make all the difference. Port lost it, and all of a sudden are wreaking havoc.

I think the best coaches support their players but also raise the standards.

Pederson should get a long list of apologies from demonland posters.

We were too tall the week before and I think getting games into Gawn and having another look at Fitzy took preference.

I think it was probably down to Jamar and Pederson for the final big man spot with Jamar ahead on form.

I'd say he won us the game against Carlton, and was prolific in some capacity in all four of our wins. Even when we lost he played his role very well, leads strong, puts pressure on the defense and works his butt off to keep the ball forward.

If Dawes played to half to level of Pederson, he'd be AA.

Similar to Trenners.

Keep and make chief gravedigger.

I'm one who thought he had nothing to offer, but justifiably so given his rancid performances in 2013. Clearly improved out of sight this year and will be a handy utility type in 2015, particularly with Frawley going. Having said that, if he is still clearly best 22 by the end of next season, it will be a fair indication that we have not improved greatly.

He's improved a bit ( gulp )

Good on him, keep it up, improve even :)

Posted

well, what a turnaround.

now the question is can he back it up?

or even step up ?

we might be doubly surprised. Make a change

Posted (edited)

Good first half of the season. Disappeared a bit in the second half.

Surprised all with some good cameos early in the year.

Definitely a stop gap player who will have to sing for his supper week in week out.

Will be fortunate with both Frawley and Clark going. Likely to get a few more opportunities in the short term.

Really enjoyed a few of those games where he was taking such strong grabs. Really hope the fella can stp it up again next year

Sounds a bit like the club he plays for.

With Frawley gone I think he'll play more in defence next year, particulaly if Georgiou doesn't come on.

The big Pedo himself! Well done lad.

Completely wrote you off a couple minutes into your first game after ducking your scone.

This year you came back with a bang and I couldn't be happier doing all the things I love my key forwards doing in taking good solid pack grabs and absolutely burrying midfielders/flankers when you tackle.

No idea where the aggression at the pill and player came from but it was great.

Good lad now keep it up!

I'm not sold on him, his last half of the year was like the Pederson of old. If he's still playing senior football next year we are in trouble.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
