The Wade Derksen Thread

In the coming season I will be watching the Giants teams to see how many games he gets at senior level. With the suspensions he might play the first game!

    Fair to say he'd be getting games at the Dees. GWS costing him a fair bit of coin (match payments) by being stubborn last year.

    Killing it in the VFL too.

    One of the more bizarre list management decisions going around with Giants keeping him on the list and yet still refuse to play him.

    We might struggle to attract mature players during the next Trade window. He would fill a need and having been already been interested you’d hope we would be in a good position to get the deal done. He’ll be out of contract to I think so would cost FA.

    The epitome of selfishness the GWS.

    4 kids mouths to feed and they held him to his minimum chips deal.

    How Derksen and his management didn't get him out at the end of the last year is beyond me.

    How many players do they want to hold onto their list ffs!

    💩 human beings GWSFC.

    GWS lost some absolute best 22 players in Perryman, Cumming and Peatling who would have objectively have made them a better side this year, and might explain why they've dropped out of premiership contention right at the moment, even accounting for their win obligatory/annual Geelong win yesterday.

    They probably couldn't or wouldn't let yet another player depart their building whom they saw a future in.

    If this guy continues to progress in the VFL but overlooked in the seniors , then we should be able to acquire him as he's out of contract at the end of the year and GWS would be unable to play hard ball this time.

    Even when they had Hogan, Riccardi, Stringer etc all out injured he wasn't even an emergency

    Why bother blocking him if he will never get a game?

    With Lever and Hore constantly injured, if he ends up being a backman, we could use another interceptor and leave Turner fwd

    Makes sense for us to still be after him. Turner, Derksen & Petty would be a very versatile group of talls to have

    Cripes, Collingwood add Houston & Perryman to a side that won a premiership under two years ago, Hawthorn bring Battle & Barrass into a top six side, and our supporters are still ruing our inability to land Wade Derksen 8 months ago. We really are comfortable with being average.

    Have to be realistic about our current situation. Hawks were only able to get Battle and Barrass in because they traded well with in the previous two years bring in players that other club didn’t want. The likes of Meek, Amon, Chol, Ginnivan and D’Ambrosio. All brought in for very little.

    We need to get those sort of trades right and start playing better footy before we can attract bigger name players again.

    At the very least, he is dominating VFL games. How many of our talls are doing that?

    I wouldn't go using Whorethorn as an example of good trading they are a bottom 8 team and nothing else.

    Barrass and Battle are not stellar Backman by any stretch of the imagination and won't get it done when the whips are cracking.

    Meek average battler, Ginnivan one trick pony with his dropping off the knees.

    I will give credit with Amon and D'Ambrosio excellent kicks of the ball and can split defences open.

    They have major strength the Dorks and that is there ball movement by foot but in finals teams they rely on this alone get found out with elite finals pressure.

    you stifle that strength and they are any easy team to beat.

    They played against a team on the weekend with average forward cohesion, average tall targets that dont compete and don't take marks I50 well and were well beaten everywhere but on the scoreboard.

    I realise that, it was more along the lines the Bailey has been playing really consistently in the VFL & when our best midfielders have been injured or out of form he hasn’t even been considered

    There's a world of difference between tearing it up it in the VFL and being a contributor at AFL level. Tom Fullarton being the most recent example.

    Probably more than a stretch RIF. He did for all of one game, down at Geelong. That was enough for quite a few on here to call for his promotion. Nek minnit.

    Can't have everyone. And half of them aren't worth the trouble.

    I’d take Derksen in a trade deal. May is unfortunately not the player that he was, with injury and time slowing him down. Adams is okay but is treading water in the VFL and not showing any signs to me that he is ready for MFC footy. Derksen could be seen as a fit for May’s replacement. Just my opinion.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
