Cam Pedersen - anything to worry about?

Featured Replies

Posted

I was at the game but forgot to tape it.

Pedersen's bump in the goal square didn't look good at the game but i don't have the benefit of a TV replay.

Any concerns ?

 

I reckon he's gone. Which is a massive shame because he's making a reasonable fist of it at the moment. 

 

Wouldn't surprise me if he gets a week


Commentators made no mention of it whatsoever and they're usually pretty good at that.

I reckon initial contact was with with shoulder (which took the brunt of the impact) but slid up for low impact to the head.  Careless at worst.

 

One week 

 

if he gets a week for that Jeremy Cameron should get 5

Radio coverage mentioned it a fair bit. SEN saying he will miss at least the first round.

 

I thought it was a fair bumb, the ball was right in front of him, first contact was the shoulder and low contact would be overstating it, if he gets weeks for that it may as well be a non contact sport

 

Contact was clearly to the Saint's shoulder, the Saint having bent forward as Pedo went to bump him.  No head contact. The 'victim' was uninjured  

But being a MFC player he will go for 1 or maybe 2

 

Yes, he is in trouble. Largely because of the lottery system underlying the MRP. Anything could happen.

I can still remember Moloney getting 2 weeks for NOT hitting someone!

that'll teach him to miss.

It looked like he intentionally went to bump and got the player in the head so that will probably be a week only because there wasn't any injury to the other player otherwise it would be longer.

Might be hard to fit both he and Frost in anyway and whilst both offered something I doubt either nailed a spot today. Might save the coaches from a tricky decision.

His biggest problem is that he clearly took his eye off the ball and focused on the player.

Only if they use the Moloney precedent- 2 weeks for not hitting the head.

Look again, ILLD:. Contact was to the shoulder.  

Hit under the shoulder which forced the arm upwards and made it look high.

Will get off.

Or I'll bake Stuie a kilo of hash cookies.

Pedos last quarter was inspiring.

Agreed. He clearly took his eye off the ball and this could cost him

 

If we lose Pederson for one week and GWS lose Cameron, we still will be better off. Not having him as well as the loss of McCarthy will be a massive loss for their forward potency.

why the [censored] would you keep your eye on the ball when you are going to bump someone. crazy statement

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
