Could look at a future 3rd or 4th rounder.

 

That may be possible or a pick this year in the 50+ region. Hopefully Lamb has found his vertebrae for any negotiation.

    Good news indeed, good height, athletic can play forward, back or ruck, he’s 23 and has chosen us as his destination club, let’s hope we can get it done. We need talls with potential too cover for BBB, Schache and potentially Adam Tomlinson.

    Tim Lamb shooting the lights out again.  I’m sure he’ll offer a second rounder and GWS will praise him as being good to deal with….

    No issues with that as long as Peatling is smuggled in Derk's suitcase on the way over!

    Can play either end of the ground at Casey!

    All seriousness, would love one of these swings to become a hit for once.

    Low risk, almost certainly low outlay, provides cover.

    The other point for mine is at the very least he helps keep Casey competitive - essential in terms of the development of younger players and keeping pressure on the AFL players. You can't learn to implement a game plan or even learn much at all if you're being knocked from pillar to post each weekend. No accident that Casey were strong from around 2018 > 2023. We've lost BB, Schache, Tomlinson and effectively Smith who were all Casey regulars, we need some decent talls with a bit of experience or our reserve team will fall off a cliff, which won't help anyone.

    Wade Derksen is a Yes as long as we don’t “over pay”.  He’s versatile and brings in mature frame.  
    Start with pick 61 in this years draft.  Future 3rd round pick is the absolute most I’d offer.  2 1/2 years on AFL list and zero games.  Admittedly stuck behind Taylor and Buckley in the Giants defence.

    And Hogan, Cadman, Gruzewski and Riccardi up forward.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
