    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.

    Why on earth would GWS want May!

    Feel free to educate me, but I don't understand the hoopla about Derkson. Hasn't played and is injured. We tried for him last year. At least we're not trading for him. Club keeps mentioning him like he's the great white hope. Not dissing the fella, just hope it's not ANOTHER fizzer of a pick-up.

    Us re-signing TMac gives me the impression that maybe Derksen isn't coming to Melbourne. Even then this signing wouldn't exactly fill me with confidence for our list next year.

    Have you watched any games this year? He has consistently been the best KPB this year. He is the glue that has held the backline together and will do so again next season.

    New coach new thinking new Era.

    Move On!

    Adams and Kentfield are the future.

    Last l time checked the Titanic had gone down.

    Yet some folk continue to be content with rearranging the deck chairs.

    What hoopla? And where have the Club been mentioning him?

    Where has anyone from the MFC talked him up?

    His vfl form is excellent, he’s stuck behind 2 elite key backs and a far better depth tall (Aleer) than the rest of the comp has.

    He’ll be basically free and should be at a minimum good depth. Can play multiple positions too.

    It’s not easy to find talls in their mid 20’s ready to go for a cheap price. He might be no good at all but there’s enough to suggest he can be useful.

    I said we should acquire Derksen in a trade deal … I didn’t say a swap of May and Derksen.

    Other teams are also interested in him this year, so he may end up elsewhere.

    Take it to the bank, he'll be at Melbourne.

    Cal Twomey mentions him as coming to us in the latest Inside Trading on AFL.com.au. I trust him most out of all the journalists in this space.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!
