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

    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

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demonsā€”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."Ā This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday nightā€™s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes.Ā He wasnā€™t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this weekā€™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.Ā But donā€™t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- ā€œThey canā€™t run. If you canā€™t run at speed and get out of the contest then youā€™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 ā€˜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.
      Sundayā€™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 Smithyā€™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 itā€™s 1Ā½ 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.Ā
