    Fremantle utility Brett Peake was today traded to St Kilda.

    The trade is subject to the relevant paperwork being approved tomorrow by the AFL.

    Very clever

    Out - Milne, R.Clarke

    In - Lovett, Peake

    Would've made a big difference about two weeks ago

    5/7/83, 186cm, 86kg,75 games, 42 goals.

    Relieved he has gone to the Saints because we were being linked to him too! The Saints feel they are in the window and know they lack pace and running power and the additions of Lovett and to a lesser extent Peake address this. They should get a pick in late first/early second for Ball - not much of a loss for mine - or perhaps another quick runner like Wellingham.

    Looks like the Saints are rolling the dice in the hope they can win it all in 2010. Selling the future for a flag, hell I would be wanting us to do the same if we were in their position.

    Peake and Lovett add some depth, if they can keep Luke Ball or gain something solid in return then the saints will have had a successful trade week.

    Yep demoniac. Dodged a bullet there.

    They dont want Peake and Lovett for depth. They want pace. They have offloaded downhill skiers in Milne and Clarke. Can they offload Ball? They would prefer to.

    Pies have only pick 30 left unless they can trade someone of decent merit. Davis would struggle to get beyond a mid 2nd round pick.

    Although i am happy we didnt get Peake i think he will benefit the Saints with his speed

    Lyon would have learned alot in the last 8 weeks of the season about his list

    F%$# tht's just what i was thinking!!! Bit Quick off the start line RR!! :lol:

    This smacks of desperation to me.

    But it's the time for that I guess - their window is ajar and they need to win before Riewoldt's knees slam it shut.

    Peake is depth, waste of money. Lovett is gold, if you can tame him. But if you can't, he's fool's gold.

    They're not out of contract, but given thier performances in the finals and the GF, I'd imagine they are out of favour and will spend alot of next year playing at Trevor Barker Oval

    I often wonder why more clubs don't trade late picks for a player. Statistically, I would have thought that Peake (on his exposed ability plus whatever improvement the saints think they can get) has better prospects and is likely to be better than most picks in the late 40s.

    Agreed, especially in a year where they are expecting a shallow draft. The only reason I can really think of is that sometimes it has more to do with wanting to offload players for list management reasons. I wouldn't mind if the dees were to offer picks 50 & or 66 to have a gamble on an available player who may not have lived up to his potential at a previous club. Just as much speculation as the draft really.

    Xavier Clarke to Lions for 3rd Round pick looking likely

    Some are saying the Saints are busy, by geez Gubby Allen and Voss haven't stopped all week at Brisbane.

    It is funny how of a bad of a footballer Peake was made out to be when his name was mentioned on here a while ago, yet he is good enough for the saints.

  • Quote

    My thoughts exactly!

    Saints are obviously investing heavily in pace but I think they have missed the mark with Peake. There's no way he could have broken into the Saints side this year.

    Depth player at best.

    St Kilda have now got more "foreigners" than the England cricket side.

    No it has not been proven that he is good enought to play for the Saints. He is a speculative pick

    Is he any worse than the bottom four on the Saints list?

    The Saints time is now. They will trade picks now for their window is now. We are not in that predicament and I dont see the need for MFC to punt a player who at best could 2 years of mediocre service.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
