    What a classy way to exit, there are lots of footballers who could take some lesson here. Way to go Cam !

    Myself and family very much enjoyed our chat at the MFC dinner last year. 

    You gave 100% to the club until the final siren. 

    We all wish you well with your thoroughly prepared for teaching career. 

    We will never forget that ground thudding concussion down the boundary at Williamstown, although we very much hope you do.

    Kudos on a career that offered MFC maximum advantage when we needed it most.

    Was ahead of our curve at Melbourne as far as developing a calm, humble and professional attitude. I'm quite sure he was a good example to the 'kids' coming through;, and his presence forever ready to step up would have been a good honesty check for the young talls.

    Can only speculate if his attitude also had something to do with how well several players responded to stints in the VFL, too.

    "Is Pedersen sooking? Then why are you sooking? Get on with it."

    I wonder what his ties with his junior/pre-AFL clubs are like, I can see him cheerfully dropping by to kick 12 goals in an afternoon while he is still fit.

    Has been a great servant for the club.

    Never dropped his bundle and gave it his all no matter the level he played at.

    Can leave with his head held high.

    Turned out to be a better trade than Dawesy.

    Pederson had the finest sporting attitude.  
    No evidence of him complaining or being a prima-donna when he was under-appreciated.  IMHO it was no coincidence that we usually won when Cam replaced Dawes at CHF, but lost when Dawesy was at CHF and Cam didn't play!  
    He earned my respect, I wish him every success and am sure he'll always be welcome at the club.

     Thanks Pedo, for coming to the Dees, when we were both a bit 'Off'.

    ...  thanks for giving your all to this club, and for getting the best out of each other.

     Its been a pleasure to see you take pride in you work, and give you best.    you left it all out there.

     

    Goodonya, St-Pedo.

    I've been wondering what he might do next. What sort of Masters degree has he earned?

    (And doesn't he own a shirt with collar and sleeves he could have worn to this event?)

    There would be few players that have had a s big a turn around in fan opinion than Cam Pedersen.

    His first match was a shocker and he spent his first two years on our list with people counting the days until his contact was up.  He retires a much liked and admired player for his contribution during the rebuild.

    Good on him.

    Love his choice of clothing.

    Will never forget the looks I got when I rocked up to my graduation at Monash in dirty jeans and an old jumper?

    Confirmed on the Phillip Island Football Netball Club Facebook Page. Sounds like he's moved to the Island. He'll smash it down there.

    My in-laws are down that way, San Remo and on the Island itself. Brother-in-law heavily involved in the Cricket Club...less so with the footy club now, getting a bit old for that.

    Well said, Cam Pedersen. Saw him numerous times chatting to fans in the stands before games or when not playing. He'll make a fine teacher.

    Great read. I still think he had something to offer this year, but don't blame him one bit for moving on.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
