Maybe just until Tmac is fit.

Yeah I forgot about Tmac, i would have thought Pedo was retained to cover us when any of our talls go down, yet he is still struggling to get a game.

genuinely surprised that he's not playing this week ... no doubt another frustrating game kicking long and high to a small forward.

 

[Fork n Hell]

I think they are just gonna hold Pederson as back up in case Gawn gets injured then he comes in as the mobile ruckman. weideman the back up tall fwd.

 

[Djcjdees]

Yeah he's playing

So stupid that he is in the reserves

How the **** did Pedo not get a run in the seniors this week? Jesus he’s hard done by.

It's Dunn all over again. I suspect something has happened with him and the coach. Makes no sense

More evidence that Goodwin doesn't know how to pick a side. How the hell is Pederson not playing?? Rediculous. So we throw Weid at Rance and he loses more confidence at senior level. Just doesn't make sense..

Question for people in the know. If only Bugg has been dropped and Lewis injured that means 2 changes. Would we normally carry 2 emergencies who don't play?

It is unusual, although a Tuesday night game is also unusual.

We also aren’t to know whether 1 of them is being rested or not.

 

[Fork n Hell]

good to see spargo and baker get their hands on the footy a fair bit today. I like the way those 2 kids go about it.

 

[Demon 16]

I like Pederson but I do understand that we are going in with an extra tall defender rather than and extra tall forward.

Lever is struggling as the second tall in the backline, and Gawn can float forward.

When TMac comes back we will be sooo far improved from a structural perspective. He will primarily be a forward but I am certain we will throw him back more than we would like.

Yeah but Pedersen can be thrown back too, and play in the ruck. He arguably provides more than TMac

I don’t think he does as good a job in defence or forward as what TMac does.

TMac is a much better player.

What happens if Gawn gets concussion 5 minutes in and our only ruck is Weid. It's already game over. I don't understand why we take that risk.

Au Contraire mon ami. You have clearly forgotten the choice rucking skills of the Harmes.

Yeah but as I said, he is more than a serviceable back up ruck, which we are screaming out for.

I reckon he provides at least as much forward. I think TMac had a couple of great games forward last year, but a lot of that was benefiting I think from other sides having not really seen/prepared for him forward. There's no surprise now. Don't get me wrong, TMac improves us, but he's not the saviour he's being made out to be on this board.

I'm convinced something has happened between Pedersen and the coach. He wasn't playing bad enough to be dropped, especially in a position it is plain to see that we need. Harmes taking centre bounces and Pedersen kicking goals for Casey makes no sense.

Maybe Frost?

I would prefer Pederson to Frost, but our defence is the area that needs attention at the moment so I can understand why they are playing Frost instead.

For y’all who are knocking Harmes, I have it on good authority that he has assumed the position of official team Barometer from the great J Watts, along with the #4 jumper. So when he plays terrible and the team is terrible, he’s just playin his role -perfectly!!!

Except I think Frost is out this weekend. I think Frost and Pedersen can play in the same side though.

Is Frost out?

Sides are very reluctant to go in with too many talls these days. Ideally you want 2 tall defenders, 1 tall forward, a swing man and a ruckman.

If we played Frost and Pedo, we’d also have Hogan, Gawn, Lever and OMac - with TMac or Weideman to possibly fit in as well.

Did Bugg get injured or was he just really shit? 5 touches seems abnormal for him
