Traded Gysberts to North for Pedersen and Draft Pick

I dont think we've recruited Pedo as a midfielder. Clearly he's playing the Collingwood 2011 Leigh Brown role.

If it isnt obvious that Mark Neeld was the right hand man to Malthouse... just have a look at what he's doing to the Demons. He is literally taking the same blueprint of getting a hard running, tough footy, high tackle, very tall team.

I think you'll find Fitzy in the 2nd ruck/tall forward role fairly early in the season. I'm trying to see where Pederson fits in when that happens

Fitzy's a spud khent

I'm actually excited about Pederson, for the strangest reason.

After paying attention to him for like a week, I feel like we're getting a known quantity. A guy who can pinch hit in the ruck, run all day, has good skills, and could be a decent third tall up forward. Basically everything we wanted Stefan Martin to be.

For a MFC fan, the idea of getting a guy who just performs (even if its not at an elite level) is something of a novelty. We are so used to the schizophrenic performance of our team, that the idea of consistency is just hard to contemplate. Even if Pederson is a good VFL player, and an average AFL player, I'm actually really excited about that. We haven't had many players like that in the last half decade.

That's a good summation mate.
