With Fullarton an almost certain delist, Derksen would fill the spot of the player whose name is frequently misspelled. laugh

About a month ago an elderly DA friend rang me and asked what I know about “Dirk Wadeson” and if it looks like he’s coming to us. This morning she rang me and asked “This Wade Derksen fellah, is he any relation to that player you were telling me about a while back?” 😄

    I feel like this will be another dud call

    Nah, but if Straight Set Simon is at the club he’ll be another quality player who’ll sit at Casey for the duration of his contract and never get a game.

    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.

    At the start of this thread, a fair few people are assuming he'll be a forward. He kicked a lot of goals at VFL level in 2023.

    Could also see that as a possibility given our history of liking swingman options. I will support him like I do for all our players if he does come over.

    Whilst that’s ideal. It’s delusion. How many dudes are a golden boot, at 200 cm, that aren’t already snapped up.

    Wouldn’t that be nice.
