Does Peake have any trade value?

[Selggad]

Peake's name has been brought up a few times and in a few threads. Apparently he wants to go to Melbourne. Great, but what value is he? On most team lists I would think Peake would simply be taking up space a young bloke with more potential could fill. Speedy midfielders with poor skills and decision making, who run sideways and fall over a lot aren't in big demand at most clubs. 4th round pick in a shallow draft? As a 'sweetner' with Drum? Just let him go the pre-season so he can accurately gauge what his value is?

Such an accurate summation...

 

[Stronzo]

Peake is a great player. We should be very well compensated for his departure. Massive blow.

So we're getting rid of Hinkley too then? I would be stoked if that was the case.

IP me too PSML brillant description of his ability

Peake is a complete spud surely no Victorian club would take him. If we get offered anything at all I say just take it

I remember Bomber Peake's helicopter entry into Geelong......no doubt his son will be expecting the same VIP treatment........unfortunately for Brett it will be a case of once bitten twice shy for the good folk at least down Geelong way!

Saying that anyone could look good with the likes of Selwood, Corey, Bartel and Ablett feeding you the ball 24/7!.....

He was drafted as an athlete, not as a footballer. He's another James Walker at best! Sad but true...

how bout
peake foooorrr joel selwood
that seems fair enough because i don't feel like chips now

Could Peake just be a year or two behind the rest of the world in maturity (not unheard of for kids from WA who are pushed straight in to a sports career from high school) and if we let him go an other club might get 2 - 3 devasting years out of him? He is quick and he can kick goals from outside 50.

If Peake leaves he will have a impact at anothr club, mark it down.
Hopefully he stays because as the team gets better so will he.

Dissapointing if he is traded.

This is almost the same as a down hill skier. I don't think we need players that improves as the team improves. We need players that will improve the team.

That so many of our young players are in front of Peake at the selection table is a real indictment of his abilities.

 

[wehavethepassion]

Harvey said after the Bummers game(RD 21) was that the side was three players short of the best possible side for 2009.

Missing were Palmer, Crowley, Johnson, Solomon, peake & a host of DAB's

Some how I don't think peake is in the 3 he was referring to.

every team, has and needs downhill skiers!

KPR you know that I always enjoy your posts but I am one of those people that agree that Hinkley is a CHOP!

A wager is in order my man, less than 10 games next season and never more than 20 possies for the year.

How about a slab of Crownies? Up for the bet? The idiots demand satisfaction!!! LOL

By the way, I HOPE that he turns out to be a star. Last thing that we need is another high draft pick wasted on another CHOP midfielder.

I dont think anyone wants to see our players fail, but he'd want to show something similar to his Collingwood game next season, otherwise I'd hope that Harvey sends him on his way.

Ummm, from memory Peake is actually 26 or so. Started late. So I doubt there's any upside for him agewise.

And goals from outside 50? Are you serious? Even at his peak (ha ha) he was 50/50 from 40 metres on the run. If he's kicked a goal from outside 50 I can't remember it.
