Pedo, for his absolute fucken screamer today. What a grab.

Went completely unnoticed after Rioli's much inferior mark, when the commentators collectively jizzed themselves.

    Nope. Pedo gets to more contests, and unlike Dawes who just sticks his ping pong racquets up in every contest, Pedo will fist the [censored] out of it if he's not a chance to mark it. He's also more versatile. 

    Pedo is a better player, nothing silly about that.

    Watch Stuie and Saty shout down everyone with a view.

    Would like to see Pedo build a tank, and then definitely keep him. If he could run out a game he'd be a regular. Can't see it happening, so suspect Dawes may stay on 1 year minimal deal.

    Not that it's a list priority, but if we happen trade for a KPF later in the year they both might go.

    Weed and Hulett will get games next year after good preseasons.

    Moonshadow - You say if Pedo could run out a game he'd be a regular:  Dawes can't even string together a few games at all and you would prefer him?

    A great one.

    could anyone imagine "old iron hands"  pulling that one in?

    No - it was brilliant. And all anybody is talking about is Rioli's 'mark of the year contender'. Spare me.

    I never said I'd prefer Dawes. Your words, not mine. I said "I suspect", as in I suspect the club may keep Dawes over Pedo.

    Mate, if you were unaware of my bias in preference of Pedo over Dawes then (with all due respect) you have been living under a rock. I hereby supply Stuie as my referee on the topic, we've disagreed for at least 12 months about this.

    Whilst you're generally right about the bias on here against Dawes, your bias towards him and against Pedersen is now going too far the other way.

    Pedersen played well today and at a level Dawes hasn't all year.

    I said already Pedo played well today, but realistically the fawning is over the top. Pedo had a few nice moments, but he was in and out of the game.

    Look without bias at Dawes' last 2 weeks and they were almost identical output wise, in fact his West Coast game was better than Pedo's game today IMO, but the combination of beating Hawthorn and Dawes bias means Demonland is once again exaggerating in the extreme.

    My "bias" isn't as strong as some try to make out (the usual posters who like to follow me around and make statements on my behalf), and during the week I said Dawes was maybe 1% ahead (in terms of chances of staying) of Pedo on form. I still think, given Roos' selection history, that the decision on which on we keep will come down to Dawes' calf.

    I think yesterday put this debate to rest.

    #dawesmyths

    The debate was put to bed this year when Pedolanko was clunking them and actually making a big difference to our side by giving Gawn a chop out in the ruck.

    Dawes was finished last year.

    Stuie's really dropped the ball on this whole Dawes/Pedo thing.

    Pedo is also a superior tackler ,ground ball gather,mark,kick,ruck and goal kicker.

    Pedo simply has more weapons than Dawesy

    FWIW Matthew Lloyd just gave Pedolanko a huge wrap for restricting ans curbing Josh Gibson influence.

    Sure he does some things better but does he bring the ball to ground as well?

    Please!

    Firstly Pedo actually takes contested marks. Dawes got 2 cheapies. 

    Secondly without Hogan, Pedo had the massive task of shutting down that [censored] Gibson, one of the premier defenders in the comp, and he did that very very successfully.

    Oh and lets not forget that Pedo can ruck too, pretty useful.

    Don't compare the two, Dawes might be smart, he might be a leader off field, but on field he is finished. His mobility is shot, his hands are rubbish, and he can't even give a contest in the ruck anymore. 

    Neither of these guys are the future, but right now I can't see a single reason you'd pick Dawes over Pedo.

    • 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.
