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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
