Has Wade done a Houston on us?

Would appear so.

I’m so curious on who we get this offseason.

Not looking good.

    We're officially basket club status if Wade '0 games' Derkson is rejecting us

    I’ve no concern that he’s not coming as I had none when Houston knocked us back.

    I'm exactly the same although, as I've said previously, I am concerned with the amount of time and effort we have spent on this bloke when other, better options seem to have been ignored.

    If we get Miochek, send Petty back and retain May - there is no reason to trade for Derksen

    Lets be realistic here. We probably delisted defenders in the last few years that were more experienced and more proven than Derks so not a huge surprise.

    This is the most hilarious result after two years and 27 pages about a guy who has never played a game.

    For over a year, Dees say yes yes yes

    Last week, Dees now say no no no

    We are a joke !!! Who would want to join this circus anyway.

    Maybe his VFL form wasn’t impressive this year.

    I asked a few knowledgeable GWS posters on Bigfooty whether he was on the cusp of senior selection and they all said he was miles behind Taylor, Buckley and Alir for a defensive role.

    Sounds like King came in and said hell no to the Derk

    We now have a new coach who sees the game differently. We'd be a joke if we went through the process of sacking Goody and appointing a new coach and then trade for a player he doesn't want! If we changed our mind lets trust the process before bagging the club.

    Not fussed if it's true. A lot happens in a year. Derksen is supposedly a swingman, yet couldn't get a game despite GWS having heaps of injuries to key backs and forwards.

    If we were taking a low risk punt on spuds I’d rather Jacob Blight tbh

    If he is delisted by GWS, we can just pick him up in the PSD for nuffin!

    I think this give us an indication in King- he wants what he wants, and list fillers are out!

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
