He didn't say any such thing, I had a good conversation with him, so prefer what he told me, care factor what you think NIL

"I had a shoulder reconstruction over the pre-season and came back a little bit heavy, so Simon Goodwin sat me down and said, ‘you want to put a jumper on for this club then get down to the weight you need to be at.’ He told me that the way I was at the time wasn’t going to help the team and that I was probably being a bad teammate".

How could you possibly argue with that? It beggars belief.

Saty obliterated by Pedersens own words.

He can play predominantly forward and give Max a chop out when he needs it (Max could go to the bench or rest up forward).

Give Hoges the CHF position. It's the one he should be playing.

The big winner when Gawny and Hoges come back will be Wattsy, you watch his performances spike he'll be off the leash once he gets the 3 or 4 defender and spells through the midfield.

This was after he returned, assumed he should be same playing weight as last year, which he was, spoke to him at B&F and first day of training whilst he was rehabbing.  Goodwin moved goalposts, it was a win win  for Pedo and the club,  lack of comprehension skills on your part methinks, again care factor NIL

With Gawn likely back next week and Spencer already back, lets have a look what happened with Pedders filling in as first ruck -

We went 4-2 with the two losses being very close 

He averaged 16 disposals, 5 marks, 5 tackles, 15 hitouts and kicked 8 goals in the 6 games

Battled hard despite giving away roughly 10 cms and 10 kg each week to his opponent

 

Pedders, we salute you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has a role to play when Max is back. Must be retained in the side.

Has to be CHF when Gawn comes back. 

One of the rare ones that knows when to lead, and knows how to hit someone on a lead. 

 

Brilliant effort from him since he's come in. But my god it's been frustrating with no real ruckman.

TMAC is no good up forward. Put Pedders there, he can help out Max by relieving and Max can rest forward.

At least we know that when Max is resting on the bench, Pedo can take most of the duties with TMAC being half decent to help out Pedo.

Pedo draws a couple of defenders which left the likes of Petracca Bugg and Garlett to make a real influence.

Deserves another year.

Definitely deserves another 12 months. I think that kind of contract keeps him going at 100% either.

Its amazing the transformation from ducking his scone in his first game for us to the way he crashes packs now.

Hes still just a good ordinary player but hes impossible to dislike

Btw where is that [censored] stuie who said we made a huge mistake keeping Pedo over Dawes? Thought so.. jog on you red head [censored]

He's not the only one who didn't rate him....

His efforts have been fantastic. He is to be admired for the efforts and team things that he does.

There is a spot for him in the best 22 as 2nd big Fwd /Backup ruckman. This means that our Fwd line would consist of Petracca, Pedo, Jack W , Jeffy , Hoges, Hannan . Pretty good I reckon because it has mixture of toughness, quickness and class.

And every successful team has some good ordinary players. 

I salute him. He has done all that has been asked of him.

I've been a Pedo-backer from way back, but I'm not yet ready to gloat. He's doing exactly what I thought he would given the opportunity - being serviceable and competitive without setting the world on fire. Big question is whether he retains his spot when Hogan and Gawn come back in, and I'm not so sure. I think he should, essentially bumping Weed from the starting 22 from the start of the year (while providing reasonably empty back-up tap-ruck seconds to hold our structures), but I expect Goodie is keen to get back to what he thought was the best set-up pre-injuries. That's Hogan as our KPF and Watts as back-up in the ruck with an otherwise mobile and versatile forward-line. Still not sure if Pedo has a spot going forward.

He reminds me of Leigh Brown in Collingwood's premiership year - honest.

16 disposals, five marks and over a goal per game playing as an undersized ruckman is better than "honest".

I see honest as high praise. He will never be a world beater but since his return to the side this year he has left nothing in the shed. He was spanked yesterday yet did not drop his head and was a good contributor. Makes a contest against opposing ruckman giving away height ( 8 cm to Grundy). He has more than earned his place each week.

You've seriously got to be joking.

You said that he never said he came back overweight. I point you to a direct quote where Pedersen says "I came back a little heavy".

But it's me with a lack of comprehension skills?! You couldn't make it up.

If Pedersen says he came back heavy, if the club says he came back heavy, if his teammates say he came back heavy, THEN HE CAME BACK HEAVY. It's OK to admit you're wrong once in a while.

Cam has been re- ontracted for another year.  http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2017-08-18/big-men-sign-on-for-2018-season

He is a great example of a player who took on board coaches feedback and worked hard to get the best of himself.  That he has been so willing to do any role the team needed him to play has been a real asset to our club.  I doubt we would be on the verge of finals if he had not risen to the occasion. 

Delighted he is staying with us.  Congratulations, Cam.

I'm watching a reply of last night's AFL 360.

David King was just discussing the 'evenness' of the ruckman this year, and said that McEvoy is probably leading the pack.

He then said, for the 8 games that Cam Pedersen rucked solo, Champion Data had him as clearly the number one ruckman in the competition. He's a 193cm utility.

The guy is a legend. He's all heart. So pleased (and relieved) he's had the season he's had, both for himself and the club. His performances have been absolutely critical for us.

No doubt there'll be a lot of silence from those posters who authoratively proclaimed him to be a list clogger and nothing more than a VFL player. They've obviously been absolutely wrong though - his contributions have kept our season alive. Pleasingly, the football department has acknowledged this through extending his contract.

I just wish he played a few more games earlier in the season. Perhaps we'd now be pushing for the top 4?

Well done Cam. Hats off to you. A true Demon.

KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition.

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
