I know I should trust, but Peake is a ordinary player at best.

    His manager is Colin Young, and he does all of his negotiation through the media.

    Brett Peake is 26 years old, was dropped this year by Freo, has pace but is a shocking, shocking kick. There is no way that we would look at a player like him.

    Ignore the article because it's just Colin Young trying to make it look like his player is 'walking out' on Freo rather than 'being delisted' by Freo.

    This is about right I think.

    I'd be shocked if Peake was on our list next season. Why would we bother? The idea just defies everything we're about right now.

    And what does our 'showing interest' amount to anyway? A reporter calls around each club, asks someone on the recruiting staff if we'd be interested in Peake. We offer an ambigious throw away line like 'We'd have a look' and then its reported as 'showing interest.' Means nothing.

    Or as suggested, its just a manager spinning rubbish.

    Seriously, over the last few weeks, I dont think Ive read one article regarding the draft or trade period that hasnt been mere trivial speculation or just stating the obvious.

    Its just one fluff piece after another.

    Yet still, hundreds of us come from all corners to pan for gold in a sewerage farm...

    Not interested

    Peake is lightning quick and a decent wingman - he ran 3rd in the B+F when the Dockers mad the Prelim Final in '06. His passion for football has wavered over the years, but if he was committed to his footy, he would have the talent to be useful contributor. The MCG would suit him.

    I think if you cant get a go with freo then you aren't going to cut the mustard at Melbourne. Why would we want players that cant get a gig in other teams? if we want ready made players go for the best. No harm in shooting for the stars. One day we might land one. I'm over being just "average"

    He played 1 WAFL game (half way through the year) and 18 AFL games for 14 goals this year so he can get a game at Freo. His kicking is too much of a flaw for Freo to ask a lot for him. I would trade Miller for him if they asked for more then I'm not interested. If Dalziell wants to go home and Brisbane are happy with it then we won't have to worry about it cause we won't be able to compete with that.

    Big big BIG NO from me.

    Peake, ugh.... horrible footballer. Outside midfielder with average skills, average pace, doesn't win his own ball, too old.... BIG NO!

  • Quote

    Yeah, right. Blistering pace... sorry but i don;t see it. More of an endurance athlete for mine, but believe what u want.

    ok we dont need Peake we have Simon Buckley.

    On the pro side he is as quick if not quicker and gets the same amount of ball.

    On the con side he butchers it sometimes the same as Peake and is injured as much as Peake.

    No need for him when we have his twin basically

    Peake brings nothing that we dont already have in spades

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
