yep, if we are really making players earn spots Dawes comes back through the VFL. Might be good for him anyway to both regain some form and bag a few goals. Cant be good for the confidence being a forward and not having much of a scoreboard presence.

Bump bump

Pedersen > Dawes

After today

Pedders >>> Dawes (and I have been a massive Dawes wrap.. .)

PEDOLANKO!!

Should stay in for the rest of the year. Him and Hogan worked impressively today.

Have to agree. All that we wanted of Chris Dawes has been wasted. Cam Pedersen has overtaken him now. Time to move on and either trafe/draft for another KPF.

My girlfriend came with me to watch the girls game as she plays too, turned to me and asked who number 21 was. Then every time he got the ball she called out his name and said how good of a player he was.

Such a good mark. Such safe hands

We've called him The Fridge for a couple of seasons now because his physical impact in contests. He is now worth his weight in gold for the inspiration, goal return & marking efficiency. We are re-christening him The Golden Fridge!!

Hopefully Roos makes Dawes earn his spot back. Honestly cant see Pedo losing his spot

Cam [Pedersen] has a crack unlike a lot of his team mates

He isn't the most skilled but gives his all

Keep him in the side...

Some on here have been saying exactly that for some time Sir

Well done, Cam. Keep stringing these impressive performances together. That's two in a row. Imagine another tall KPF next to Hogan and Pedo and another quicl crumber like Jeffy. I wonder if Kent can play that role?

Can't see who they would drop for Dawes.

Pederson , Hogan and Howe are better Marks of the ball and more dangerous.

Dawes seems to work hard but doesn't seem to get a result.

Hope they don't sacrifice Fitzy for him as he was terrific tonight down back.

The reality for Dawes is he has to earn his spot back or as an injury fill in. It would be a crime to drop Fitzy after his game today.

Fitzy definitely worth persevering with. Guys like Pedo and Fitzy have been sacrificed for Jamar, Dawes and Watts for too long, regardless of position

what are you doin', don't call him that. next he'll get a big head & will get dropped, never to get another test in his career. ;)

Dawes doesn't come back for mine. Frost is ahead of him and now Peders is...

It's not silly to say play all 3. With the skills Hogan has up the ground and with Pedersen back up rucking it can happen for sure.

But it should be play all 3 if they are in form.

I watched Pedersen play for Casey v Coll earlier in the year. He was lagging to get to contests, not holding marks and not at all looking dangerous. He's been made to work for his spot and has found form and is now covering the ground and holding his marks.

Dawes can go back to Casey, get fit and get his confidence back. Then if Hogan needs another rest it can happen. Or if Pedersen drops off they can make the swap. Or as I said at the start we can pay all 3.

Hogan is certainly on good money. Dawes is on good money. Pedersen was wanted by Coll I think when he left North. I bet he's on a fair pay packet as well. They are key forwards. Only so many good ones to go around 18 teams. So let's stop with the crap about who makes what and how good a 'value' they are. If the bust their guts playing as a hard at it key forwards they will earn their money.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
