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.

Love that

I’ve a Team America joke that would work for him

Derka … might be a bit edgy for these times though 

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!

Good job mate.


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.

Double-Dutch up front with Derksen and Van Rooyen. Enter your puns here:

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.

Much more optimistic about him than Fullerton. 
this bloke takes contested” big pack “marks , and reads the football very well. Has succeeded at both end of the ground at vfl level .

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
