Gee he would be a handy pick up. We’re talking with him. 

 

He went to town against us a couple of weeks ago including 11 tackles and 18 contested possessions and is still only 23. Would be a great get for us. 

Definitely less of a queue for him at the Dees compared to GWS, think St Kilda also sniffing about

 

Peatling is exactly the type of player we should have been pursuing over the past 3 years. Instead Lamb goes after 27yo unwanted players who's best was past them.

Only seen him a few times.  But it’s a Yes from me.  He bought Giants back into contest v Lions.  Won 4 of 5 centre clearances.  Has the pace and skill and intensity to really make a difference.  Disposal efficiency high.  Tackling is a strength.   Interested to see if we could put a 4 year deal on offer.

🎯

Has all the hallmarks of a future whipping boy but can do enough as a half back or half forward to fill a role and does his best as a tagger.

And all signs point to us having at least 1 if not 2 or 3 midfield/defensive half forward players.

Sorry meant he's stuck a bit low in the pecking order at GWS and wouldn't have that queue here. So we'd be able to offer regular first team footy etc

We had no need for Peatling in 22 or 23. Certainly did this year with JJ and Gus going out.

Definitely agree that we should’ve aimed for younger and higher upside recruits the last few years. Although they would’ve been dice roll types like Oleg Markov types not sure things.

We can now offer cash, picks and importantly best 22 opportunities.

I was referring to your 2nd paragraph, rather than specifically Peatling.

Smashed us a few weeks ago and loved his inside.

Stoked to hear we're talking to him.

Any idea which way it could lead to?

Appreciate the insight, cheers. 


Cal on Gettable said plenty of interest in him, named St Kilda, Melbourne & West Coast. GWS have upped their offer.

He is in my Supercoach draft team, so have been watching him closely over last few weeks. The kid can play when he gets a full game (been a sub for many games). Great clearance player, tackling machine and is very quick. Still a bit lanky but will continue to put on size with more preseasons. Out of all the trade targets we have had thus far (other than Houston), he is the one I’m most keen on - would be a huge addition to our midfield (for now and the future). 

Perfect target for us and one I’d prioritise over Houston - younger, cheaper and arguably fills a greater need 

Get it done Dees

Bump this thread. Tim Lamb … time to start your redemption!!!  Peatling would be an excellent addition.  Deserves a good 3-4 year contract at least.  His pace and run and tackling would add to our midfield.  


Its a shame he's not a Victorian. A local Western Sydney boy so if GWS are in fact upping their offer and can find a place for him in their best 22 then you would think he'll most likely stay.

It will be very interesting to see what happens now that GWS have players returning from injury, coming back to that midfield rotation. If he doesn't get much opportunity through the finals this might sway his decision making.

I can see him being their sub through the finals if they have a healthy list.

Lamb is going after him so maybe give it a rest?

You have skin in the game @Demon Time. I'm taking your recommendation seriously :-).

 

Used as sub 9 times

cant believe the Giants treat their players so poorly. No wonder they leave

*sarks

Peatling would be a great get for the club. In all the games I've seen him (not too many), he's shown speed and Viney-esque levels of intensity and desperation (IMO) amongst other qualities, but they both stood out and it's what we lack.

    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.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
