Player Watch James Peatling

[PaythePerryman]

And it still took them til the very end to offer him a decent contract

Valued him enough to draft him out of obscurity and develop him into a top 22 mid. What did you want us to do?

 

[Crow till I die]

It's essentially another pick in the 40s though. Just don't see it

The deals might not be looked at in isolation. For example, if you guys are looking at Stringer, it may be that our pick 45 forms part of that deal so it becomes an important pick only for not having to dip into other higher picks like splitting 1st rounders. These days, club get creative and our F2 might be part of another trade in for you guys so it maybe ends up Peatling for player(s) after the wash up.

They should stick to rugby.

Here's one of the quotes. Supposedly 21 and Peatling for F1 means they'd be fleeced haha.

"Start it at 52/Peatling for F1 then end up at 37/Peatling"

 

[Pugsley]

Culture not great at Orange team by the looks.

Pay him like one, and play him every week

I wouldn’t have thought GWS would like the idea of losing a player like Peatling for nothing, either, so I don’t see this going to the PSD

 

[Amacca 23]

Didnt gws only offer 1 year to start with ? Didnt value him that much if thats the case

Geez that Matty Nicks is a persuasive bugger hey!!!!

As are most shonky salespeople.

I doubt this trade goes as smoothly/ quickly as the ANB trade. F2 alone prob won't satisfy GWS, but it will get done

Not enough emphasis on “obscurity “, and by “top 22” you mean top 23 given he was sub for half a dozen games. And dropped from the 23.

So actually, plucked from obscurity to be a borderline best 22 player

 

[Scorpus]

Didn't GWS start out contract negotiations with like a 1 or 2 year deal?

Doesn't look like they rated him all that highly to begin with

Yes it was 1 then clubs started sniffing up it to 2 then when us and others offered 4 or more they offered more at the last minute which i reckon pushed him to go

Offer him more than a one year contract?

If the club valued him maybe...

 

[PaythePerryman]

He had a breakout second half of the season, solidified his spot and played 2 finals.
As this happened he got offered higher and longer contracts.
That's what happens when players hit form.
You're getting a good player...who has just hit the next level...
Your offer blew ours out of the water on this deal, Cummings and Collingwood's on Perryman. We have a tight cap...that's not your fault but I don't see an issue with the club looking to try and get fair compensation from a mid-season draftee that they developed into a starting mid.

[Amacca 23]

There is no way that's involved. The only holdup might be what late picks are shuffled around the F2, sometimes club get very nitpicky over that.

I reckon we end up swapping thirds with them also to (likely) give GWS a bit more of a kicker

No - his initial offer was 3 years, but GWS moved the deal to 4 years

The length of deals are the same, our money is better and the chance to be a frontline midfielder

I also would be supported that there is also the appeal to play in front of big home crowds

GWS still only get less than 15000 to a home game, they couldn’t even sell out there final and they have a ground capacity of 23000

A 3 year deal doesn't equal first rounder.
A F2 from a bottom 4 team is more than fair.

Is “drafted him from obscurity” code for

He was actually handed to us by the AFL to our Academy and then we re drafted at the mid season when he improved ?

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Considering current picks are generally worth than similar future picks … even more so in this apparent awesome draft that will stretch the top end talent well into the second round :

GWS Pick 16 > ADL F1
GWS F2 = ADL F2
GWS Peatling >>> ADL nothing

What am I missing - that seems very one sided in our favour to me?

Our future pick could be top 10, and our F2 is worth more than theirs

The level of support for GWS in that outer western part of Sydney isn't likely to grow quickly either. It's very much deepest, darkest NRL territory. Just an absolute money sink for the AFL and I can't see any point to their existence.

 

[Cap]

Honestly do we need to drop to the level of bagging GWS and its local area.

don't we remember what it was like getting that shit from Carlton fans (etc etc)

Get the trade done AFC. Perhaps get Toby Green while you are there.
