You're a credit to yourself and your family CP. Keep that effort going in your future endeavours, and you won't likely go too far wrong. Congratulations.

 

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.

 

Absolute gentleman, all class.

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.

Stuie would argue that point here if he was still posting!

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.

Sweet, that’s where my family live, I have a couple of cousins that play for Phillip Island.

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.

I’ll repeat what other have said above : Cam Pederson - all class. 

Very nicely written letter. 

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.

 

A credit to himself

Good luck lad

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
