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.

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

We’re still in this. Offering 4 years. His choice and will decide shortly 

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!!

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

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

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.

Let's turn our attention to Callum Brown and/or Riccardi

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.

All good! Just sharing some quotes from Peatling himself :)

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

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.
