That is the burning question Dee Boys, we know that three of them are on the rise, we need another three to show their worth next year and the other three to be ready to roll in ‘26. It all comes down to development, we need to snag a great forward & ruck coach asap. We do not want to waste these youngsters.😁

Somewhere in between never and not once. 

 

At least he'll come to the club as hungry as Dirk Diggler was to conquer the adult film world.

He's worth bringing in for his name alone. Imagine jack dyer mangling this? “Wide Dickslam”.

Whilst not disagreeing, how many of these are actually any good? Or good enough for us to challenge for premierships?

We will find out first in 2025, then 2026.

That’s the point I asked you?

Do you know any thing about Wade? You ignored the question! 

You just goofed of with an ill informed comment with no knowledge. 

No he hasn’t played an AFL game yet in 2 and a half years so he a dozen matches ahead of Matty Jefferson in time. 

Reading the reports on his VFL games, and his roles of forward back and ruck he also has are similar to JVR who is in his third year this year and has played in junior state and now AFL/VFL in those 3 positions. 

He played one  season of VFL Jeffo now 2, so we can get a gauge from both their progress with a little bit of goal scoring also he sounds like a good very early 20 plus at 190cm odd recruit. 

He is NOT bottom of the barrel !

Perhaps our mid year recruiting of Luker Kentfield is far more project orientated and could possibly apply to your remark. 

And he won’t come with a huge price tag perhaps an early third rounder. 

So let’s see he has asked for a trade to us and who is more accurate in his ability and suitability for our list and team.

I did not goof off and absolutely have enough insights to know he is not going to improve us.  

 

We can send them Tomlinson back?

They might relent if they sign Stringer, I can see why they wouldn’t give up a contracted player unless they’re bringing talent in.

Already losing Cumming, Perryman and perhaps Peatling.

Do we shift focus to Conor Stone?

Summary

  • Liam Baker has chosen the Eagles as his preferred club and is expected to be traded for pick 13, if the Eagles secure it in a trade for Tom Barrass (likely heading to Hawthorn).
  • Jack Graham will join the Eagles on a four-year deal. Richmond offered an improved contract but now must wait for free agency compensation, which could be up to $700,000 for an end-of-first-round pick.
  • Kamdyn McIntosh is waiting on Richmond's decision regarding his future.
  • Richmond is losing multiple premiership players this season, including Dustin Martin, Marlion Pickett, Dylan Grimes, Daniel Rioli, Shai Bolton, Liam Baker, and Jack Graham.
  • The Eagles are assessing key defenders on the market, with Tom Clurey, Lewis Young, and Denver Grainger-Barras exploring new options.
  • Greater Western Sydney (GWS) is determined to keep contracted players Xavier O'Halloran and Wade Derksen despite interest from the Bulldogs and Demons.
  • GWS has picks 14, 34, and 39 and will get a compensation pick for Isaac Cumming (joining Adelaide).
  • Harry Perryman is expected to leave GWS for the Pies, with Port Adelaide missing out on both him and Cumming.
  • GWS believes James Peatling is likely to stay but is still considering offers from other clubs.
  • Jake Stringer has been linked to GWS due to connections with Jason McCartney.
  • Dan Houston is keen to join Carlton, but North Melbourne's future first-rounder offer makes the Blues’ task difficult.

Wade Derksen has apparently requested a trade to the Demons.

Whether or not it happens....we shall wait and see?

Hard to hold on to a guy who hasn't been given the chance at senior level and wants to play elsewhere to get that chance

I would hope we play hardball back and let it hang out there. We want him, but fair price. They have enough moving parts to worry about, if it works as a three club trade to get something else done, great. Maybe even work on someone like Ollie lord and let gws know if we land him we won’t want derksen. 

Contracted  so I guess they can play hard ball. 

Playing hard ball means they may in fact rate him despite not playing him.

If they rate him he might actually be ok. If we think he is ok and we want him I guess we need to pay up given he is contracted.

This gets done. You don't hold depth players who want out who aren't likely to get a game next season.

Hogan, Cadman and Ricardi are all options ahead of him already playing. Max Gruzewski got a few games this year too.

No we go after the player who wants to come to us and is best suited to our needs. That's Derksen. 


Future fourth should get it done.

Of course.

The Giants recruited Wade Derksen in the 2022 AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft so he’s been at the club for 2½ seasons without gaining senior selection. If they think he’s so precious then fine, keep him but really, is there much point?

They're into Jake Stringer aren't they? Maybe they're waiting for that to happen before letting WD go.

If we sign him, he needs #40 too, give Taj an upgrade

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
