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...

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.

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
