Do you think they’d throw Peatling in for free with Derksen?

I’m expecting Derksen to cost pocket change

The club would be wise not to repeat past mistakes.

I'd much rather bank on the ceiling of an upcoming draftee like Cooper Hynes at pick 20-25, than Peatling for five years, but will back the FD.

 

Choice between:

- 5 Year contract for Peatling

- Pick 5 for Houston

CHOOSE!

Neither are good deals.

Peatling has not shown enough to warrant 5 years.

I would prefer to keep pick 5 and Zac Jones and/or Parfitt on low money and 1-2 year deals.

I would have had 'nothing' as a third choice but I really wanted to make people choose in a forceful manner.

Peatling for mine as he won’t cost us a first round pick as well. 
And he’s much much younger and fills a midfield need which is greater than our half back needs.

Jones and Parfitt. I think I threw up a little in my mouth.

You can’t honestly think that repeating what we’ve tried with NQR DFA is the way forward??? Our depth is incredibly poor.

If Trent Rivers played a 2 month patch of games like Peatling did this year we’d be anointing him as the second coming. 

If Peatling costs us a 2nd round pick and needs a 5 year deal to get across the line so be it.

Houston by the combined length of the Flemington, Mooney Valley, Sandown and Caulfield straights.

Houston is chronically underrated by DL posters and would be our clear 3rd best player behind Gawn and a fit and healthy Trac.

If that’s the case, we are nowhere near challenging and thus wasting pick 5 on Houston who would be gone by the time we challenge again.

Pick 5 all the way.

Not super keen on giving Peatling 5 years of one decent patch of form leading into a trade but in a choice between the two I’d def go with him as it still leaves us with enough draft capital to boost our rebuild.

Rivers' AFL player rating for the last 10 games (after Petracca was injured) was 12.6. By comparison, Pealing's AFL player rating for his last 10 games (excluding where he was sub) was lower at 11.2.

To be honest, I think Rivers is better off the half back line and nobody here has been 100% convinced that he will be a midfielder in the long term because he is so good off half back and he is under less pressure to dispose of the ball in the backline.

I see Peatling as a B-Grade inside midfielder who does not have the elite pace of skill to be an A-Grade flanker or winger. 5 years is too much cap space to tie up for that type of player. Particularly one who is 24 and has limited scope for improvement.

he's one of the best kicks in the game

we'd kill to have his skill coming off half back

Pick 5 all the way.

If our window is closed for next year with or without the hypothetical inclusion of Houston, then I'd also be keeping pick 5 rather than Houston.

The more I saw of us this year, the less confident I am of a sharp rebound to the top 4.

But to answer the question in a vacuum of trading pick 5 for Houston or giving 5 years to Peatling, it would be Houston by so far it isn't funny.

Well you have me convinced now.

Since we are talking racing, I have Struck Gold in the last today at Geelong at 5.00pm.

Fair summation. I'd have Peatling in the 'nice to have' category, but I realistically wouldn't be giving that sort of a player a five year deal as has been mooted.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
