The dees have also pulled out for Derksen. Heard over the last few days that we have entered the convo.
I haven't watched him. Good age, and decent size but is he better than what we have?
 
24 year old out of the Suns academy. 175cm genuine lockdown type. Played 19 games this year mostly as a pressure forward which was a career high next best was in his debut 2020 season where he played 15 and burst onto the scene as that lockdown small. In between he has had 2 ACL's and played 2,9,2 & 8 in his other four seasons.
Seems to be over the ACL's and in a great age bracket to help build a long term defence. And a mature body which is another important factor

What will be the cost? A 2nd or 3rd rounder?

My guess is third and maybe a swap of other picks

Second round sounds like too much but with how much the draft gets diluted maybe it’s right. I’m not sure we’re our second pick will land, if it’s in the 40s it’s probably fair but a pick around 30 seems steep for a guy with his record (just two seasons out of six more than 10 games)

As you would.
 
Probably not, but I guess the question is if it’s better to take a shot on a younger guy or get a Frost type in for depth.
If we are going to back in JOD & Buss personally would go the younger developing option Frost is a known quantity. Who you would hope doesn't get many games.

So I would prefer to develop the next candidate as Lobb only has 2 maybe 3 years left. Worthwhile risk imo

Yep I agree.

Would prefer Blight over Derksen though.
 
If Sanders requests a trade to Tassie, I’d expect we’d be compensated very well. Tassie have draft picks to burn.
All uncontracted Tasmanians are treated as free agents. Sanders deal ends at the same time as Tassies likely entry so will be a free agent unless he extends. Means we’ll get a compo pick, not one of Tassies picks. Even a band 1 will be in the 20’s or 30’s. We really need Sanders to sign.

Nah his current contract ends one year before they come in. Which is why his management only want him to sign a 1 year extension.

Before his two ACL's he was genuinely the best young lockdown defender in the game.
Agreed.

I've watched him since his first game and have always been impressed with his aggression and his attack on the ball.

Seems every time he's been set to announce himself as a player he's been hurt...hope he's past that now.

He was in my DT a couple of years, posted good scores before injury took him out.

Stoked to get him in.

I believe a club losing an out of contract player/free agent will be able to activate a compensation pick at any stage over 3 years which does give some flexibility to avoid the drafts Tassie have monopoly over or in cases of a top 4 finish. I haven't had this confirmed though.

Thats a little better. The Tassie drafts could push a band 1 all the way out to the 30’s. But do we really want to wait 2-3 years before we use the pick?

All depends where the list sits at the time. I believe that Tassie have higher priorities at this early stage so its most likely Sanders (and most Tassie kids) arange to fall off contract at Tassies inclusion to push their current club for a healthier deal just as much as a potential move.
 
Spoke to my contact at the club this evening to try to get further details on Budarick's contract offer and a potential trade cost but couldn't get any more information there unfortunately.

He did however tell me initial talks with Carlton kicked off today over a trade for Khamis, with the Dogs having eyes on the compensation pick Blues will receive for Jsos.

Would that be involved in the Buku Trade
