To...us?

We have definitely put our best foot forward with this one. I think it's GWS, Adelaide and then us (without really knowing).

    I think you're right.

    Very well played by Peatling's management, he'll get his bag.

    I'm sure some Demonlanders will blame Pert.

    With Peatling out of the equation, let's hope we keep all our current and future 1st and 2nd round draft picks, and have a mini rebuild.

    Plus the media don't want us getting anyone good. Only their teams.

    If the Crows don't land him, they might double-down on Clarry, which gives us better leverage if that's the way it goes.

    Did we offer him the best contract?

    Might be a question for @Dannyz

    So you don’t know.

    But you’re comfortable stating that the reason why he’s possibly maybe not coming to Melbourne in a future decision he’s not publicly stated is because our club is ‘a burning building’?

    You’re right, it’s possible that another club offered him more money and this is his motivation. 

    Doesn’t change the fact that we aren’t exactly an attractive destination to outsiders. Undergoing a review, wanting to offload one of our best players, still need at least two new line coaches, Trac’s saga. It’s not a good look when you’re trying to attract talent. People want a stable work place.

    Listening over lunch break earlier and diagnosis is that Peatling likely to stay at Giants. 4 year deal is a solid win for him and his manager.  Definitely improved this year and his “hard at it “ style warranted others trying to get him.

    Disappointing that we are not in the race anymore.

    Let's hope the draftees want to come here because right now we're about us popular as a blowfly at a butcher's picnic.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons.

They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania.
