Player Watch James Peatling

[tinman]

You’d think it would be a swap of future seconds and our third under that scenario. GWS would bank on us finishing lower which is odds on

GWS will probably end up with some other second and third round picks from trades yet to be done. So makes sense they have a full hand before making any decisions.

Dare I say ... well played AFC?

I think the key reason so many clubs were chasing Peatling was they saw him as a potential bargain. He doesn't have the runs on the board to warrant a high draft pick in a trade, but he might turn out to be a really solid player. So the fact that he was pursued heavily is more about the assumed cost of the trade for the return rather than people thinking he is a top line player.

Fair call man but still hard to think only worth a F3 don’t you think?

Kinda can't understand it tbh. I thought the pick you used for ANB would be fair.
Bizarre

That's a good deal for us, as we would still have picks in the 2nd and 3rd round next year, if we both have similar seasons it could be only a few spots and if GWS implode we could actually come out better off.

It's smart trading and also means if we do want to trade our future 1st on draft night we have that ability as we would still have our full allotment of picks

No I meant swap our seconds and give them our 3rd, we are going to have to give them a pick just not swaps

Sounds like it might have to do with the cumming compo.

The Crows have a good trading history with the Giants too, that always helps. The Crows pulled off a great pick swap with them back in the day.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Under 600k is a bargain. If we get away with keeping a future second, we'll have done really well.

Yeah, if he plays consistently at the level he played in the midfield last year 600k is a very good contract for us, while also being a nice pay-rise for James himself

F2 sounds right to me. Reidy, despite many on this board thinking otherwise, is a pretty ruthless operator and can be pretty firey and 'has a long memory' (he told me that re our trade for Dawson for way-unders in retribution for Swans Tippett issue)

That said, we clearly would have no issues from my understanding with GWS. If anything the other way around to a small degree as we walked Hately to the PSD (not that he was worth much) a few yrs ago.

Sounds like he is hoping to get a later pick back (third round I assume). Not sure what else could be holding things up as a future third rounder, in a weak draft, isnt a reasonable pick for us to be leading with IMHO

decent value here - I was thinking perhaps 650k ish so thats a pretty decent deal and lets hope he fulfills his potential

 

[Coopers]

Pretty simple , the afl starts to go down the path of Rugby Union

There are multiple threats including basketball , soccer and rugby league

The afl knows it can’t take for granted the current position it’s in

Can't it? It can run a biased comp with arbitrary rule changes and handouts for... reasons.

Seems a lot like it takes it's position for granted, especially regarding it's integrity.

 

[Crow till I die]

 

[Coopers]

Legit every Giants fan I've met....and the club wanted to keep him.
Let's not pretend we didn't want him. I'd still love him to change his mind.

Weird, cos I'd assume the GWS fans... watch the GWS games.

Possibly not a good sign. Possibly a worse sign that he will still improve our midfield.

 

[George CantStandYa]

I don’t get that, it would involve us paying Cumming more than we wanted to and Peatling hadn’t nominated us yet

Hately?

 

[Crow till I die]

Or we were always prepared to pay a premium for Cumming with Port lurking to secure him and that premium also worked in the Giants favor. So it might not be a direct wink wink, nod nod, but an indirect fringe benefit of the Cumming trade that GWS now are ok to return the compliment to us without playing hardball?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Fair call man but still hard to think only worth a F3 don’t you think?

I expect we are getting a discount by ensuring they got good compo pick for Cumming.

 

[Betts are off]

Hmm, if this gets done today or tomorrow then I might get more work done this week then I originally thought

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Hately?

We offered fair value but they were busy with more important trades.

I doubt in hindsight they are bitter, particularly as we trade with them most years like last year to benefit both clubs.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Hately?

I would think there is more good outweighing that one deal

 

[Danger in Texas]

He had by the time the Cumming deal was made official

Yep, i saw that and it makes good sense. Works for everyone- both clubs and $$/years for Cumming

Agree ! Integrity is a different matter
