Cam Pedersen is a good footballer

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.

 

I saw him hand out a few big hits. Very effective and always competitive and dangerous.

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.

He is Clunker to me...never drops a mark. CLUNKER!!!!

 

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

Play all 3, Can't see the problem with 3 solid talls in the forward line

Except Dawes is not solid.

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.

  • 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.

    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.
