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'm not sure opportunity will be the driver in his decision making though.  Haynes and Ward going and at least one if not both of Perryman and Cummings means he will get opportunities next year if not in the finals this year.

I think the Giants are pretty tight on their salary cap now and so it might be a question of security.  The million dollar question for any list manager is how much is he worth in terms of $ and length in contract and will that be enough to get him to change teams?   I suspect if we aren't in the 2 million over 4 year ball park we won't be in the running to prise him out of Breakfast Creek.

    Yes hard to see Peatling leave. Giants might lose Cumming and Perryman so they’ll use the extra $ to go to Peatling.  Hes shown he’s a quality player and he will get the deserved contract and $$$. If we could get him, he would be a very good addition.  But alas I think not.

    The word from the Harbour City is that Collingwood is heavily into Peatling. This should serve as a warning to those in the Tracc to Collingwood camp because the Pies aren’t investing in a chase for Petracca as well as another midfielder. They have neither the cap space nor the ammunition for a trade.

    With CP5 back in the fold, I think we should double up on our pursuit of Peatling. Our midfield needs to be revitalized and that can only come about via change.

    They are also into Alex Davies from Suns and I think Hobbs from Bombers.

    I’ve heard similar. We are the highest $$ offer. 

    My understanding is that he is most likely to stay at GWS.

    If he doesn’t come to us at least we’ve gone down swinging!!

    Compared to other clubs? Any idea who is leaning on?

    I had Peatling in my Fantasy team at the back end of the year, so, naturally watched him pretty closely.

    Good tackler, can do a job, links up ok, good speed and agility, average skills.

    Would be an OK addition, but I wouldn't be perturbed if he stayed a Giant.

    Is our 2nd rounder about the right price? 
     

    I haven’t seen lots of him although watched closely as he carved us up late in the year.

    I believe he’s a free agent, but I’m not 100% sure

    Leaning towards GWS. He's a local Sydney boy and now that he's got proper midfield rotation time he'll most likely stay.

    As per Fox sports a few days ago:

     

    BIG BLOW FOR VIC SUITORS IN RACE FOR VERSATILE GIANT

    Potential Victorian suitors have been dealt a big blow with Giants utility James Peatling expressing his desire to sign a new deal with the club.

    Peatling had been linked to multiple clubs across the competition given his versatility but looks increasingly likely to remain in the charcoal and orange beyond this season.

    “Everything is moving in the right direction,” he said on SEN.

    “We are just taking our time with it, we wanted to focus on the finals and me playing consistent football because that’s something I haven’t done yet.

    “Everything is trending in the right direction, and I love where this club is at so, hopefully we can get something done soon.”

     

    The mature-age Giant has averaged 14 disposals, five tackles and 3.5 clearances this campaign.

    Peatling said he “100 per cent” planned to remain at the Giants in 2025 and beyond and looms as a key factor in the Giants’ semi-final with Brisbane this weekend.

    Cumming, Haynes and probably Derksen frees up some cash for the Giants. If they lose Perryman they’ll probably match the highest offer.

    If Perryman suddenly decides to stay they might have to let him go.

    But I’m glad we’re having a red hot go.

    Agree - Brown would be my preferred target but either would be a step up on our tall forward options especially if Petty is sent back to D50 next season

    After just watching Gettable, Cal Twomey said that 6 clubs are after Peatling, and made no suggestion that Peatling had committed to staying at GWS. Cal Twomey is probably the most credible journo when it comes to player movements.

    Peatling told GWS during finals he's staying if he gets mid time.

    We must've seriously upped our offer if this is true.

    GWS have a deep midfield so i’m not sure they can guarantee that

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
