Pedersen would have been handy today.

Despite our good win, our inability to take a mark in the forward fifty hurt us a lot.

This is laughable, mate. I don't mind Pedersen. He can get on the scoreboard, but at the end of the day, he doesn't do enough defensively. We can't have that in our forward half in 2018 and beyond.

He provides structure and a marking target forward when Hogan is up the ground. There were at least a dozen occasions when we could not get anyone to take a mark in the forward fifty because North had numbers back and we didn't have any options.

When Majak Daw is taking uncontested marks in your forward line you know something is wrong.

You don't need a second tall. Richmond proved this last year and continue to do so. It's all about ball use and getting it in quickly. We're kicking to the advantage of our forwards well enough and until we do, it doesn't matter who's down there. I'd prefer guys you create pressure though and can get it on the deck. Pedersen rarely offers this.

We did need a second tall yesterday, that's my point.

Keep up.

Lol. Did we lose?

Well... the battle took place on the outer car park as distinct from  the main arena but the Weid did win.

This being said Pedersen was not disgraced in that his half forward play was very strong.

Looks like we will have a rematch on the plains of Avalon next week.

On a more serious note the Casey forward line is over manned with talls which contrasts strongly with the senior side. Makes meaningful comparisons difficult.

Jimmyboy, guess one had to be there to understand this post 

Thanks for trying though !

I don't think either will get a game anytime soon, I think we will play small like Richmond until Tommy comes back.

I can't see Pedersen playing another game surely he is the past and we have to look to the future in Weideman.
