The forgotten man

  • Quote

    He was great in every game he played. Was a better CHF decoy than Dawes. A better option, a better mark, more effective, faster, harder, more influential.

    Far better value than either Dawes or Frost as a key forward / ruck option, and I can't understand why he was not in the team from round 1. I'm not sure why he hasn't been given a new contract yet given our lack of options in these positions.

    Both your questions could probably be answered with the same answer: the people in charge don't share your view on this player.

    given he is probably on half of what Dawes is on, can take a mark, can kick a goal and doesn't get in Hogan's way, i say this bloke is very handy for us and should be in our best 22. Is he the answer for us forever? At his age no. But will he be a fantastic filler and play good footy whilst we draft/trade/develop someone else? Absolutely.

    The Pedo has my tick of approval.

    Apparently he's stoked Song.

    Had an absolute Barry Crocker in the Round 1 NAB game V's Freo and then failed to impress in the Casey practice matches.

    We missed Cam after he was injured, which suggests he is 'best 22' (or thereabouts) given our current list. He's no world beater, but he is a versatile tall, and at worst provides strong depth, even more so now that Fitz has been de-listed. I hope we can recruit or develop a strong KPF or 2nd ruck option, but until we have a player who is a lock for these roles, then Pedo is a 'must keep' I reckon.

    I doubt they would be silly enough to underrate him give our lack of key position depth. He's been far more consistent than Dawes and provides healthy competition for selection. Easy decision to give him another year.

    Works hard. Tries hard. Runs hard. Takes a good catch and doesn't murder the ball.

    Has become an honest footballer.

    yep best 22 for sure,love hardened experienced players,vince is great example

  • Quote

    29 next year

    7 games for 6 goals this year.

    A bit of a hot and cold type player I think

    I would hope that they would offer a one year contract

    he is slightly better than dawes

    I agree that he ought to be kept. Just offering a simple explanation to the question so many people seem to be scratching their heads over (why Dawes seems to get picked first).

    i think it more comes down to the fact Dawes is on big money and Pedo isn't. If you have a player getting paid 500k+ a season to play in the VFL, it is kind of embarrassing.

    HMMMMMMM these the same people who extended Terlich?I wonder.

  • Quote

    Good for Pedersen, and still probably not a whole lot of money so the club is definitely getting great value out of him.

    Here's to an injury-free run and locking down the second forward role ahead of Dawes.

  • Quote

    All this fawning of Pedo is frankly embarrassing. Has grown into some mythical beastly quick glue handed CHF while being out injured... #PedoMyths

    Sounds like the Six Million Dollar Man, but he comes at an Aldi price. Hope he has been rebuilt even better with a bionic hand, but I'd just be happy to have the 2015 Pedo back on the park and firing in the 1s.

    then i think your reason is silly.

    ?

    If you reckon the coach whips out a spreadsheet with everyone's salary on it before picking the side, I reckon your reasoning is silly. His job is to pick the best side and leave the administrative crap like salaries to others.

    Unless you're suggesting Josh Mahoney picks the side - which is also pretty silly.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
