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.

Diggler has chosen the Dees!

We’re so back

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.

[Fat Tony 5,196]

Derk should stiffen us up!

[Canplay 634]

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.

[The heart beats true 17,997]

This will be good for Wade’s brand.

Too soon?

[Pipefitter 2,144]

Can play either end of the ground at Casey!

All seriousness, would love one of these swings to become a hit for once. 

[bing181 9,177]

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.

I thought Wade Derksen works in accounts at my office... ? 🤷‍♂️

[Skuit 10,026]

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

[Mach5 4,766]

194cm... so he’s ruck depth?

[Demons11 6,847]

We are scraping the bottom of the barrel 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.

[Melonmonster 86]

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 .
