Pedersen signs

in Melbourne Demons

Pedobear is the most reliable contested mark on our list.  His signing is sound insurance while Hogan and Weideman are developing.

    Has come a long way since his Melbourne debut against Port Adelaide in Round 1 a few years back. 

    Congrats Pedders!

    Will be interesting to see where he sits in Goodwin's pecking order.

    We definitely won the Gysberts trade

    Pity we didn't win the draft pick.  Daniel Talia, my selection and many on Demonland, was still there.

    A classic "serviceable" player .  Shouldn't we be looking to recruit possibly  the next Boyd or Patton ?

    I'm sure the recruiting dept are capable of doing more than one thing at once.

    Should be a breeze with pick 44, but if we're really lucky, a player touted to go no.1 overall with slip through to pick 62.

    Good on you Cam stood up really well in the Hawks win, let's hope he has a good 2017 for us. Go Dee's!!!

  • Quote

    I watched him at Box Hill in the last Casey home and away: he was sensational. Casey might have won the flag had he not been surgeonized....

    I'm glad he's been retained. He isn't a great player but he gives 100%, all of the time.

    Go Pedders

    Pedersen is there to buy Weideman time.  This is an indication that the club does not want to put undue pressure on its young players.  It's just a responsible signing rather than an exciting one.

    Clearly he sits above Dawes.

    Dawes was a protected species under Roos. I bet Goody had to bite his tongue quite a bit during match committee.

  • Quote

    Can't believe people still argue that Dawes is more valuable than Pedo. 
    The guy does everything Dawes does, but can actually take a mark and is on half the salary. 
    Well done to the Pedo Bear, and well done to the MFC. 16 re-signings in 12 months!

    Really pleased about that he isn't the most exciting player on our list but he's reliable and you get pretty much the same from him week in week out, he's also a better option in the ruck than Jack. Give him 60 to 70% game time a week to give Max, Hogan and Weed a chop out.

    yes. Very sensible list management.

    Thought we were crazy to give away Gysberts for Pedders at the time. Yet here we are.

    Did Gysberts even play a game at North? 

  • Quote

    Good contested mark , good kick for goal ,and can play ruck.

    Took some spectacular grabs this year too.

    Honest competitor who is perfect insurance while Weideman develops 

  • Quote

    Such a solid bloke (literally, metaphorically) - clutch goal (and diving mark) against Hawthorn - won us the game.

     

    Concur with Deezee - perfect Insurance.

    Just a good decision. For the club and for the player. Solid contributor, and every army needs solid soldiers. On occaision Pedobear can be much better than a solid soldier, but that's a bonus, not the reason to sign him.

    Simply a solid decision by a (now) solid club.

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
