TIRELESS

The Demons received great value from the versatile cult hero Cameron Pedersen who worked tirelessly in the ruck in the absence of Max Gawn and Jake Spencer and as a second ruckman who went forward with great effect and stood up on many occasions when it counted.

Bloody love this bloke

Many at the club could learn from his selfless application and hard wrk

his best was outstanding, certainly, but there's times throughout and within matches where he simply went missing - i think he's actually better as 'the man' within the forward 50

it's no wonder that hogan loves working with him i50 as his work rate is very good and he does all the little things required of a big bloke, crashing packs and competing in the air, buttering up at ground level, and tackling with intent

it seemed like his kicking was markedly improved in 2017

one thing that will be interesting to see as we enter 2018 is his fitness - having returned in less that optimal condition at the start of 2017, he clearly worked his backside off to get up to required standard

if he returns in 2018 with full fitness and determined to make the most of his opportunities, there's no reason to not expect him to be an integral part of the side...particularly if watts goes, as is now expected

crazy to think he's one of our elder statements

gysberts, who?

 

Absolute legend! His 2-3 month stint in the ruck while Max was on the sidelines may go into the Demon archives as one of the great efforts in recent MFC history.

Remember when everyone (probably myself included) wanted him delisted after his first season in 2013? Look at him now. He picked up his first Brownlow votes on Monday night as well.

He has the opportunity to play another big role in 2018 with Watts' likely departure.

Excellent year! Hope next year he stays fit and interested. I say interested because i think he gets dropped unfairly.


Keeps on keeping on 

A very handy utility with a great pair of mitts.

Honestly if his 2018 is better than his 2017 he will probably play on in 2019.

Cam was a pleasant surprise in 2017. I like many others expected him to play as depth and probably finish up this season. Really pleased to see him get another year.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
