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.

    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.

    surely the media need to run a headline on the GW$ poor culture.

    this

    he's one of the best kicks in the game

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

    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.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
