Pederson has crack, and that is what I want every player in my football club to do. By AFL standards he is average, at best, in talent but he had a go.

    Have no idea what the deal is with Pederson not getting a consistent game in the ones. He's miles beyond Dawes and gives it a crack, at this point in time.

    Roos doesn't seem to have much love for him.

    Dawes must be a fantastic trainer and most importantly a good bloke.

    Nup. Nothing is more annoying than people spelling his name wrong.

    Any chance of doing the same for "Lamumba" and "Mitchie"?

    Plays all game, or at least tries all game.

    Deserves to be on the field, but it is definitely a problem that he is appearing in our best.

    Yep, silly stuff. You need to pick your moment and coming off two weeks of beng totally outclassed and about to face the reigning premiers isn't the time to puff out your chest.

    Cam Pederson 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...

    agreed John Dee.

    I do not want to see one player in a red & blue jumper, who will not go in a physical contest. just should not get a game, until they learn they can, & they will.

    Hmm appears to be out of contract at the end of the year. Anyone worried he's going to leave us?

    I actually think him leaving would hurt us more than Howe leaving.

    He'd have polled well in the B&F voting in 2 of the 3 games he's played. Dawes and Howe wouldn't have factored in any of the games they've played.

    True that Cam Pedersen is a good footballer......until the ball hits the ground.

    Seriously though, right now is the best contested mark in the side along with Hogan.

    Great mark, takes them contested but most of them are smart intercepts.

    Despite the infamous head dropping incident a couple of years ago, he absolutely always provides a contest.

    Our best player yesterday. He regularly marks strongly.

    Will be on the team sheet next week for sure.

    In the words of the incomparable Jack Dyer. Just a good, ordinary footballer. Does his job.

    Agree entirely.

    He's honest and when he plays his best as fringe player it looks good in a perennially carp side like Melbourne.

    Dont think so.

    You have overlooked a key strength of TMac.

    IMO Pedersen is actually an example of good depth on our list.

    If we're in form and without many injuries I'm not sure he's best 22, but he's versatile (I still think his best football is as a rebounding defender, but he can play key forward as well as in the ruck) and has improved since he started with us.

    This is the kind of player you call 'depth'. Not some of the other players on our list.

    Which is?

    FMD some hairs need splitting over there.

    I think Pedersen is a serviceable player at times who can clunk the odd mark and kick a few goals every few matches.

    Handy attributes of course.

    I also think he is a bit of a dumb footballer, misses the odd tackle badly, a poor defensive player, oftentimes selfish to a fault, and when not clunking marks has precious little effect on the game.

    He's not useless, but needs to add a few strings to his bow if he's going to stay in the 22 while we get better.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
