I'm convinced Pedersen plays his best footy as a defender. He's pretty good and strong in the one-on-ones and has adequate skills going the other way. His 2 games vs GWS in 2013 and 2014 were really good as a defender, in ordinary losses.

I'd play Pedersen as a key defender tomorrow, allowing Garland to take Walters or Ballantyne and releasing Howe as a forward to get them off guard a little.

Just don't know if he has the pace. Don't want to have to watch him trailing his man every inside 50

A lot of people on this site have praised Roos and his team for the development of a hard game plan and for the development of the players. Yet here we are not giving one of our players a chance to sh

Well it took 5 rounds for us to bring a player in that likely wont be on the list next season and isn't part of the future

Usually we have 8 or 9 of those types in our Round 1 team as we start the season with a crushing defeat.

Things are so much nicer now.

Gold. I laughed very hard at this.

Mckenzie and his type (poor skill set) can't be part of our future if we want to reach the holy grail.

This is very odd: "The Demons told AFL.com.au Dawes hadn't strained his calf, but given his history of calf issues the club didn't want to risk him against the Dockers".

Uh?? Really?? Looks like Dawes was dropped, albeit late but dropped nonetheless.

Not disappointed. Pedo is a far better match up against Freo than Dawes. He can do Dawes job forward and a better job in the ruck.

Tanking?

Your list of stupid statements would require a new forum to cover.

Let's face it curry, you're Demonland's version of Prince Philip

Can't believe Freo have omitted Mzungu. Came on last week as the sub late and did some great things to stifle the Swans final charge. They must be really confident or over confident I hope.

I'll be heading off shortly. A pre game guzzle with less than salubrious characters should put me in the right mood for what I think will be a loss. I just think the job will be too much for for Jamar and ,consequently our mids will be playing catch up. I like Pedo but the only way he will influence the game will be up forward.

That last sentence is just plain wrong.

Ross lyon was talking bout his knee problem last week, chronic like the one rewoildt had. Searching the globe for best medical advice as its not an injury that has a straight solution but requires ongoing management .

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
