Recommitted Luke Pedlar [OOC 2026] - name was floated for a move in 2025, stayed

[Golumless]

I give him the benefit of the doubt due to his constant injuries which have held him back from having a proper preseason since he joined us.

Shoulder injuries don't stop someone from running for that long.

Would be an upgrade on Jed McEntee and Jesse Motlop - no other teams need apply

Port would be a good new start for him.

Why does he need a new start?

Regular gametime although he looks to have started to string a few in a row together now.

How many games has he played this season? 4? 5?

5 to date this season. Injury has been his biggest problem

2023 was his best season. Rumour was floating around he didn't come back in the best condition to start the 2024 preseason. Played early in 2024, but was down on form and dropped to the SANFL. Hurt his shoulder and was playing through it until mid season, then hurt it again and needed a reco.

Club seems to rate him. In a recent interview the comment was about getting him through this season with an eye to playing some sold footy and having decent preseason

Wet showdown conditions should suit Pedlar tonight.

Just needs continuity of games.

He's a decent player, just struggles to get his hands on it enough.

They do if you choose not to

He's a decent player, just struggles to get his hands on it enough.

We are playing him really very deep in our forward line. He's around the ball enough, but he's not really the focal point of the forward line. He doesn't come out of there either, like Keays or ANB.

 

[Velvet George]

4 possessions in a final. Unless we are going to try him in the midfield, rack him up as another first round Hamish fail.

That’s not the definition of a decent player

 

[HugeJohnson]

I'd take him for a late pick swap. Not the worst player running around.

 

[longdonkey]

He does have some qualities its true but he also has some deficiencies as well. I think he'd be the type of player that Carr likes but I can't imagine we'd be a player at what the Crom would want for him.
