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.

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

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

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
