Pedersen signs

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!!!

    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.

    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.

    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 

  • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
