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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
