Cameron PEDERSEN

2017 Digest:   Has the opportunity to play as a marking forward who can take spells in the ruck. Another Demon to have shed a bit of weight.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1		–
2		–
3		Senior emergency.
4	VFL	Was everywhere in a number of roles. Did all he could to push his case for a senior call up.	–
5	VFL	Spent time rotating through the ruck, as well as attack. Kicked two goal and was involved in a number of scores.	–
6	Ess	Welcome return to the team as a follower, rather than a ruckman. Made Bellchambers defend, and kicked a goal. Good.	7
7	Haw	Played ruck/forward and at least competed against McEvoy. One goal and 16 possessions were a handy return without starring.	5
8	Adel	Who needs a genuine ruckman when your make shift ruckman can provide a contest and push forward for three goals.	7
9	NM	Beaten in ruck but kicked two goals and had 18 possessions roaming around the ground. Gave all he could.	6
10	GCS	Battled against Witts in ruck, and didn’t hit the scoreboard. Competed though.	4
11		Bye.
12	Coll	Grundy smashed him in the ruck contests but tried hard. Thrown forward and competed in air.	4
13	WB	Did well in the ruck again and was a handful when moving ground the ground. 24 touches at 82 percent.	7
14	WCE	Played forward and found it tough early. Came into the game in the second half.	5
15	Syd	Unable to really get into the game after a good patch of form.	4
16	Carl	Couldn’t get into the game at all playing forward. Struggling to find role now he can’t go into the ruck.	3
17	Adel	Struggled to get into the game and hasn’t coped well since Gawn’s return.	3
18	VFL	Most dominant big man on the ground. Ability to bring the ball to ground and apply pressure was really good.	–
19	VFL	Big influence on the game. Played as a key forward, worked up the ground and helped out around stoppages.	–
20	GWS	In to replace Hogan and battled hard in attack with little supply. A few stints in ruck.	4
21	StK	One of his best games for the Dees in attack and the ruck. 26 possessions, eight marks and two goals.	8
22	Bris	Developing into one of the first players picked at present. Another 24 possessions and three goals – should have kicked five.	8
23	Coll	Quiet for much of the game in ruck and attack, but showed courage in third term to back into the pack.	3

2016 Season

1	GWS	Didn’t have a great day in attack. Moved back in the final term after O.McDonald injury.	3
2	Ess	Floated between the arcs. Lumbered to the ball a few times and made some ordinary decisions.	3
3	VFL	Wasn’t as impactful as one would like considering the opposition. Rucked a bit.	–
4	Coll	Worked up and down the ground and among the best. Marking a feature of his game.	7
5	Rich	Presented well, took some nice marks and played a nice supporting role.	6
6	StK	Spent time at both ends and was an honest performer.	6
7	GCS	Booted three goals in the fourth quarter after a quiet evening.	6
8	WB	Made a few mistakes and didn’t take care of the ball at times. Six marks, four inside-50s.	4
9		Ill.
10	VFL	Bye.	–
11	VFL	Conditions didn’t suit but worked hard in a number of roles.	–
12	VFL	Battled hard in attack but muddy conditions made life tough.	–
13
14	VFL	Bye.	–
15		Didn’t play for Casey.
16	VFL	Bye.	–
17	VFL	Spent time in ruck and attack and was fair. Did he do enough for a recall?	–
18	VFL	Took over ruck duties with Spencer injury and did well around ground.	–
19	VFL	Excellent in attack with 21 touches, 16 hit-outs, 13 tackles and 1.4.	–
20	Haw	Presented pretty well from half forward. Stats not huge but did his job.	5
21	Port	Laid a heavy bump on Impey in the second term.	4
22	VFL	Unlucky omission from seniors and was just fair against Cats.	–
23	VFL	Excellent in attack with three goals. Used his strong body very well.	–

1		–
2		–
3	VFL	Strong effort with 2.2 and nine marks in attack.	–
4	VFL	The most dangerous Casey tall with three goals.	–

6	Syd	Backed up Spencer in ruck but wasn’t much of a factor in attack.	4
7	Haw	Late inclusion for Hogan and well and earned another game. Very good.	7
8	WB	For second week in a row he was among the best. Three goals and seven marks.	7
9	Port	Unable to hit the scoreboard like has the past fortnight.	5
10	Coll	Used across half forward and workrate was high but effectiveness not huge.	4
11	StK	Unable to get into game then subbed with wrist injury.	2
12	VFL	Wrist.	–

14	NM	Presented well against former club and continues to play a role in Dees structure.	5
15	WB	Early goal, but then was well held until have some handy touches late.	5
