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.

    Too Short. Key players need to be around 200cm

    He is 1-2cm taller than May. Can be a key or a 2nd tall at least

    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.

    Derksen. Petty🏆. Turner. Future back 3.

    Adams looked okay but not sold just yet.

    Petty in the backine, gee who would have thought it!?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
