Just imagine how good it will be to have him in the side as a forward ruck once max returns. Could have made a difference in some of those early games over weid.

I agree to a point but Pedders didn't have match fitness, we persisted with Weids one too many weeks for mine. 

Will be interesting to see what happens when Spencer is back, Pedders is really working hard and I'd like to find us a spot for him. But if Weiderman starts to improve it will be difficult, Pedders is ahead in my book but the coaching staff appear to be more interested in getting games into Sam.

    Probably his best game ever.

    Like a fine wine is Pedo.

    On the strength of the last three games, in my view he is unarguably in our best 22 and will hopefully be given an extended run even after Gawn or Spencer returns.  Application, persistence and loyalty should be rewarded.

    Emphasisis the value of a reliable spare parts player who can fill a big hole when required. Good far another contract.

    Loving the Bear's work.

    He is getting towelled up badly at the centre bounce but that was always going to happen. It's the fact that while he may lose the hitouts, he is back in there hitting bodies and insuring that the hitout amounts to nothing. 

    I will say I included him in the initial bracket of mind boggling acquisitions from the 2013 preseason. He has come on brilliantly since 2014 and fully deserves a new contract (and a place in the side for the rest of 2017).

    First time long time hello to all. I can't believe the negativity surrounding this great man, quite simply the Pedometer is through the roof. Pedo = W's

    Cam has stepped up so far this season on the field and in the comparative stat team averages.

     

    • up to Rnd 21 last season - Ranked 28th with an average score of 2.51
    • So far this season - Ranked 8th with an average score of 3.73 and sitting in our top 10

    Completely agree, have never understood why the coaches haven't liked him. I reckon he has played a good role in most games he had played in. Takes good contested marks, pretty accurate and long kick for goal. Always makes a contest in the ruck. Dishes out good bumps and sticky tackles. Anyone questioning his courage just hasn't paid attention.

    These have been my observations of him since 2014. Somebody posted a criticism that included the fact that he had never kicked more than 14 (or maybe 16),  goals in a season for us. He did that in 2014, the only year he played enough games to kick substantial numbers of goals, and the important thing about that year is that our top goalkicker only managed 20.

     

     

    He wasn't a good listener, bordering on uncoachable. Has consciously changed that this year and apparently is trying to do more of what they ask including diet and fitness.

    Explains a bit .

    He WAS definitely a case for Jenny Craig  when he rolled up from North .and I mean rolled.

    His added mobility is the exciting part about the career he has left.

    As deaf to advice as he was,he is a pretty good clubman and seems to enjoy meeting all the fans and is an affable bloke.

    I Wish him luck and longevity .

    He was bloody good last year too so aside from his weight things haven't changed that much, just opportunities.

    Nah, you're thinking of Robert Klomp.

  • Quote

    Wasted opportunity not playing him from round 3 on. 

    He is the tall forward/second ruck we've been looking for, keep him in the side when Gawn gets back.

  • Quote

    Cam has surprised many - his intensity and his pressure and second (and third+) efforts have lifted the team.

    Not the most talented on our list, most would agree,  but this year in particular has shown himself to be one of the hardest working and courageous of our rapidly developing midfield.

    Pleased to see Cam play so well and I hope he gets another contract, I think he will after the club has seen how dangerous it to only have two genuine rucks.

    You're right about his intensity, it was good, the one area he has been poor in in the past is drifting in and out of games, the ruck forces him to concentrate for the whole game and it shows. Well done Pedo.

    If this is how a "spud" can play, I want a few more in the side. Perhaps those that called him that on here could suggest a few more around the AFL that we could draft at years end?

    Vickery?

    We did pick up some spud whose own club didn't rate better than a 4th round pick, in just this recent draft.

    That reminds me, Garlett is having his best season ever. Thanks Mick!

    Seeking our Stuart Dew? I wonder what role we most need to fill - is Ryan O'keefe considering pulling the boots back on?

    Pedo and Tommy Mac in the forward line, will help out Hogan and Gawn when he returns

    Always liked Pedos work.
    Now he's just killing it in my SC side.

    Gives you everything, every single week.

    Plays within his limitations, but pushes himself to fulfil a role. His goal kicking has been great this year too.The one he struck perfectly from outside 50 on Saturday night was a beauty! 

    Very impressed with him, and his job in the ruck. He's been invaluable!

    • 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.
