Pedersen signs

Featured Replies

 

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 

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

 

Concur with Deezee - perfect Insurance.

 

Just waiting for the ticker tape after my first post... (once the anti spam bot allows me to repost)

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.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
