GWS have a deep midfield so iā€™m not sure they can guarantee that

GWS midfield, or at least their depth is a bit of a myth

Tom Green's the only sure thing through there. Kelly & Cogs are chronically injured, Finn Callaghan plays mostly wing. Plenty of room for Peatling, it'll be the coin that gets him over the line.

    I believe heā€™s a free agent, but Iā€™m not 100% sure

    I donā€™t think that is correctā€¦ or at least he wasnā€™t on the article showing 2024 free agents on the AFL site

    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.

    Revisionist history?

    I agree, but Bedford seems to be their number 1 tagger and theyā€™ve slowly upped Callaghanā€™s midfield minutes as he starts to win his own footy. Daniels is starting to play more midfield too.

    They might be prepared to sell Peatling at his peak value right now knowing Harry Rowston, James Leake, Conor Stone and others are all ready to come in.Ā

    I donā€™t have a clue as to Peatlingā€™s value, so Iā€™m guessing, but would this yearā€™s pick 3 plus our future pick two, get Peatling plus Derksen thrown in as the set of steak knives?Ā  (Iā€™m hoping weā€™ll keep our possible pick 2 (ANB) from Adelaide, with a view to improving our draft hand)

    You might want to edit that post again hardtackĀ before the Demonland early risers choke on their coffees and assume you're predicting we're going to finish second-last next year and possibly spend our whole current and future draft cache on a pair of fringe players.Ā

    To them I say, ā€œHave at me!!ā€ šŸ¤£ Note that I did post at approx 4:30am, and I am neither in Perth nor a foreign principality, so I can safely say that I plead insanity.

    Apparently 6 Victorian clubs into Peatling would good offers. Ā The Giants increased their deal which was then bettered by some Victorian clubs. Ā Giants will have to go again !!! 5 year deal likely. Ā

    Hope we are balls deep into a deal.

    Is he worth our 2025 first?

    If our 2025 first round pick is (1,2,3) 4 or 5, then noĀ 

    If our 2025 first round pick is 16, 17 or 18, then yesĀ

    No, even if it's pick 18. Second rounder is his value. He's a similar commodity to Langdon was at trade IMO (pick in the mid 20s).

    It's the gamble every clubs takes. Collingwood [censored] up with F1 for Schultz, we did well including F1st (mid teens pick) for Lever trade.

    Personally think it will be around 10 or 11. Does next years draft get screwed by Tassie?

    Peatling is not worth a pick under 30.Ā  Unless you're desperate to be seen to be doing something.

    Ordinary players become stars at this time of year.

    He is worth A LOT more than that.. Pick somewhere 30-45 this year or 20-35 next year imho

    Finals form was solid, which upped the value! Player rating of 9 this year but late he was hitting an avg of 12.3 which is excellent. 16 Coaches Votes this year!Ā

    Edited my post -- but 1-60 seems solid hahaha

    Ā 

    Out of Contract but not free agent, so that does push trade value down a little so a third rounder next year could be enough but with bidding war of 6 clubs I'd say a pick this year in 30's but who knows

    Weā€™re still in this. Offering 4 years. His choice and will decide shortlyĀ 

    Peatling now has a 5 year deal on the table from someone so this probably wonā€™t be enoughĀ

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old sideā€”the Tigersā€”coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking?Ā I mean by ā€œtheyā€ the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.Itā€™s no secret that the Demonsā€™ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack.Ā Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryanā€™s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winningĀ 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
