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

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      Itā€™s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the Ā Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measlyĀ 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?Ā  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
