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.

  • Quote

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
