    Reminds me of the movie "The Producers" where the lead characters set out to produce a ghastly show that's guaranteed to be a flop so they don't have to repay the people who invested in it. Those blokes ended up in jail. I hope you're not suggesting that Lyon should be charged for bringing the game into disrepute? :lol:

    Didn't the ghastly show end up being a hit though? ;)

    There has been some consternation about Cams nickname. Pedo seems a bit weird shouted out across the 'G.

    I notice today that his twitter account says CamPedda so maybe the players call him Pedda and that is his nickname? Easy for people to miss or confuse the vowel at the end

    Only a small thing but its a lot nicer than with an 'O' on the end. Go Pedda has a much better ring to it.

    Just sayin....

    Hopefully our injury list is minimal and we won't need to use any of his nicknames this year.

    Frawley wants to know...

    Didn't like the description "unrestricted free agent".

    No salary matching option unfortunately.

    I wouldn't take the author's word for it, at least 2 other articles refer to him as a restricted FA

    Also, looks like they've corrected it to restricted. Someone must have told Ryan, the gigantic muppett

    They all look a bit like Cam Pederson to me.

    Recently reported that he was looking at a fwd role due to injuries and now will probably be needed down back too

    Gone from being much maligned to much required. It is a weird world we live in

    Let's just play Jetta as a key defender, he'd be just as effective as Pedo.

    Funny, I thought standing out at VFL level usually offers the best chance at getting you on to an AFL list.

    Yeah, that's right, which is why it's a suprise M Jones was even drafted (obviously we were desperate for mids). Barlow won a liston trophy: that's standing out in the VFL, not coming 4th or whaterver it was in a VFL BnF.

    He played 17 games in the VFL seniors in 2012, as a first year player, having been moved up from the ressies after a handful of games. He won the Box Hill Hawks most consistent award and finished Fourth in their B n F based on those 17 games. Most of those games were in the backline before being shifted to the midfield much later in the season. The previous year he played for Labrador in the NEAFL. He plays 22 games for the MFC in 2013 and finishes top 5 B n F.

    You say he 'didn't even stand out in the VFL'. Ridiculous rubbish. How much more impressive could this guy's trajectory have been? Feel free to name someone with a quicker ascent in football.

    Ridiculous rubbish? Comparing M Jones to Michael Barlow, a standout at AFL level is just that. Who cares about Jones'rise to AFL level, there's no way in hell he would have got a game with any other AFL team last year, so it all it shows is how relatively weak our midfield was. Nicho was drafted from the ammos, is he the next Barlow too?

    Matt Jones will play off the back flank, which is where he played the last 5 or 6 games of last year.

    Hopefully he's playing on a HBF at Casey. M. Jones shouldn't be getting a game if we're to be anything resembling competitive.

    I'd like to see Blease and Strauss for improvers.
