Erasmus and Sturt named for Peel, so assume aren’t in Melb.

seemingly getting alot of interest, 8 clubs have talked to him
Don't think he is there at our pick unfortunately, if he is then it will be very interesting if we pick him
Damn 11:40 is early for a league game, is that purely so there is no clash with Fremantle?
Pretty rough on the players if so

Why the froth for Wade? We have listed players performing better?

10 tackles in 3 games. Bell and Sturt have 10 in 4 and they are smaller forwards
Fwd/ruck
Great to have a developing one seeing as Lobb has one foot out the door
Seen a lot of promise and isn't the finished product at 20 after a growth spurt
Rookie pick so a free shot at a good players convinced he has the tools to make it at AFL level, even if he fails forward he has the athleticism to be a defender, is a bit like how Pearce was a midfielder until his growth spurt, can move well for a big fella (hopefully derksens body holds up better)
That's a shame, he was just starting to get some form.
He wasn't named on our injury list so presuming that's accurate he's either got injured since the list was put out or has Covid.
Might’ve missed the boat for a developing forward/ruck to replace Lobb if he’s truly got one foot out the door. Whilst someone developing in the background wouldn’t be a bad thing, we’re not developing a guy to replace Lobb between next week and March next year are we?
I personally think Derksen is undersized for a forward/ruck at AFL (he got monstered by some second string WAFL rucks) but until recently wasn’t aware of how much he’s grown recently so there could be more to come. Still see him as more of a project KPF/KPD tbh.
Lobb can be held for 1 more year if Derksen needs more time so thats a year and a half
Better than picking someone up either after Lobb has left or in November this year with Lobb only having 11 months
5 months V after Lobbs gone
or 17 months V 11 months if he is held for a year
Also, yeah he is a bit undersized but its only for a 15% chopout for Darcy, Ideally Roy comes on in the future and Derksen can be developed as a 2nd or even 3rd tall with his athleticism but Roy is so far off it right now that Derksen would be a shrewd pick
Given Lobb has been playing almost solely as a forward, I would have thought the developing player to replace Lobb would be Amiss. The second ruck would be done either by Cox (like was done in the last game, also justifies having Logue in the side) and/or Treacy.

Hamling needs to stick closer to his man there. Cost a goal.
