Why aren't we giving Pedersen a fair go?

The dude has been amazing in the VFL, the week before the Geelong game, close to 30 touches and 3 goals. He plays the Geelong game, sure he played mediocre but all our forwards did because the ball didn't come down there and then he gets dropepd.

Now he kicks 8 goals in the VFL but we'll probably still continue to play the one quarter wonder Lindsay Thomas. Don't get why we continue to play these lazy footballers but don't want to play Pedersen, he's 24 it's not like he's 29 or anything he's still young.

Yes I'd have to agree Pederson I very deserving of a spot in the side, but bringing him in for Lindsay Thomas? Not quite sure. If he were to come in for anyone it would have to be Hansen or Edwards, as Pederson is a tall forward. We need Lindsay as a crumbing forward to Petrie and Hansen and Edwards, Edwards is in good form and believe it or not, I think Hansen does his job. So find it hard to get Pederson in there. If Hansen or Petrie go down with an injury, Pederson would be the next in.

Hansen has had his chance and he's been crap apart from a few games. Pedersen deserves a shot and more than 1 game in a row ffs... How can he prove himself when they don't give him a chance.

I reckon there best lineup taking into account availability

B- McMahon, S.D.Thompson, Pratt
HB- Urquhart, Firrito, Rawlings
C- Adams, Greenwood, Wells
HF- Ross, Edwards, Wright
F- Thomas, Petrie, Harper
R- Goldstein, Harvey, Swallow
INTER- Hansen, Ziebell, Atley
SUB- Anthony

EMER- Pederson, Cunnington, Garlett

With Hansen and Anthony on their last legs. Ross playing well in the VFL and Urquhart gives them run off the back line.

Nah Anthony is a good player, better than sub.

OK then.

I would have him start in the midfield and have Boomer start in the forward line, something he is doing more and more of nowadays. Yes, Boomer would spend plenty of time in the middle, and when he is in there Anthony would be playing in the forward line (HFF or pocket).
