I would get rid of whichever would get a something (or the best) at the trade table- probably Dawes, who has been a massive bust sadly, I was for that trade - got that one wrong.

 

keep one as back up, help the kids, no room for both next year IMO

When you say neither, are you saying that we will recruit someone else to take their role, or do you think Hulett/Weed/someone else already on the list is equipped and ready to assume that role full time in 2017?

I hope we bring someone else in. And I am assuming we will. 

If we dont/cant. Pedo stays for 1 more year.

I'd be tempted to keep them both, but if I was pushed, I'd say Pedersen instead of Dawes. But I think it's entirely possible both with go.

How's that for some fence-sitting? :P

I voted neither.We may keep Pedo over Dawes though unless the entire football dept get rabies or Zika and go for Dawes.

I'm going for both to be retained at this stage. Neither should play on too far into the future, but we'd have a massive hole if Hogan was to leave and we had an injury or 2 in our talls

I went with keeping Dawes over Pedersen purely for the reasons that i believe him being around the club will help with the development of Hogan, Weiderman and Hulett. And when i say keep Dawes, I'm actually more inclined to dellist him and then rookie him.

Pedersen's been a handy player, but i reckon we can replace him easy enough by drafting Declan Keilty.

I can certainly see the argument for keeping Pedersen over Dawes however.

Was also going to ask why this is even a poll?

One can play football, the other is liked by Stuie.

Exactly.

Possibly another big notch for Pederson is that he has never dropped his head after being overlooked many times.

Humble character who turns up and works hard and seems to always be a good contributor even when he doesn't get his hands on it much, even if it is just by forcing an opponent to work hard on him.

The #PedoMyths are strong today. He had an ok game, but geez some of the overrating is a bit silly.

 

You are probably right there, but he gave more than Dawes would have today.

Let's face it they are both only depth, but if Casey is to win back-to-back Premierships then hopefully they will play their part.

Fairly similar output today to Dawes' last 2 weeks, yet due to pre-existing bias Dawes gets bagged and Pedo gets credit here.

I don't agree with that at all big fella, but we will just have to agree to dis-agree.  Cheers.

Wrong, Pedersen was excellent today. I have no doubt that his inclusion was a key reason our forward line functioned so well today.

Not sure I agree with mate champ, unless you're planning on dropping Hogan too...

I totally agree Clint.

I thought we'd win today (for some weird, not necessarily logical, reason). And then I saw Hogan being ruled out/omitted and Pedo coming in, and it simply strengthened that belief. 

He's not a particularly sexy footballer, but he seems always to add value/contribute.

Would be very disappointed if he doesn't get another year. Whilst he's probably not in our best 25 going forward, he's still very important to us, eg, today.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
