Wade Derksen

So we let ANB go for family reasons and our culture is apparently [censored] house.
GWS hold onto Derksen for SWF even though he wants to move for family reasons. What a [censored] joke GWS are. PATHETIC CLUB AND CULTURE.

I’d imagine we won’t be be bending over backwards to assist GWS if they want another Toby Bedford from us.

They turned a pick in the 40’s into a very nice player, and didn’t particularly repay the goodwill 2 years later.

GWS CAN GAGF for any future trades.

Read my post again.

I never said we shouldn't trade ANB.

If O'Keefe is such an ordinary player, it shows what Giants thought of Wade, as O;'Keefe played games and Wade didn't.

I didn't compare Wade with Hogan.

I said that there were probably 11 players who play his role/position, that he is clearly behind and on that basis, having been there 2 years as a mature aged player, without playing a single game and having a good reason to want to leave, unlike us with ANB, they refused to assist him.

Thanks Redleg maybe it was someone else that intimated we shouldn’t have given ANB  his wishes. But the fact that you listed 11 players that GWS have above Wade in their pecking order is wrong for them to refuse on the grounds heasked for a clearance to us. 

The reason I suggested that Wade was a 2 and half year player he was similar time of 2 seasons to Jeffo and he is near to getting his chance. I done subscribe yo the time principal but to treat each player on their own development and progress. And that is comparable to Jeffo in their journey. I also have no real idea on who Wade would replace to come into our AFL team but he rucks plays defence and forward so is versatile and well credentialed to opportunity.  Jeffo probably only forward but a half forward flank could suit him early and go to a KFP in the future as necessary or planned at our time. 

I hope Wade keeps asking for a move now next trade period.

I guess the question is if Wade still can’t crack it for a game in the seniors and his form in the 2s is just ok will we still have interest?

Yes a lot can happen in  1 season.
