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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
