Lemmey had 1 game where he kicked 7, with is the '1 game' Lods was referring too.
However, from the 16 games he played in 2025, he managed 31 goals (1 goal short of 2 goals a game). Thats an upgrade on anything we have currently, and hardly 'one-game'.
But yes, instead we train a guy up as backmen, then try and turn him into a forward.....who hasn't got as many runs on the board.![]()
We're not training up a backman to be a forward.![]()
He's as much a forward as he is a defender.
Derksen kicked 35 goals for GWS in the VFL in 2023.
He was training as a defender when he came to us.
He is listed as a key defender on the club website.
He is expected to be a key defender.
Which is fine.....but after all of that, we want to make him a key forward now.
Why wouldn't we just train him as a key forward to begin with?
