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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
