Player Watch James Peatling

[ABAB]

If we hadn't folded in the ANB deal then we'd have had the extra that we don't want to give up for Peatling. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.

What extra? They just want our F2 but we want something back.

 

[1970crow]

We wouldn't need anything back because we'd already have the F3 that Melbourne would have sent back if we didn't roll over before brunch.

I don't think it was fold with ANB. As part of him nominating us we agreed to get the deal done early.

Yep but then we’d be folding for Peatling by giving the extra

 

[crows dude]

Oh well if it doesnt happen we have that list spot open.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Bloody hell whats the hold up here. Surely Adelaide aren't seriously going to send him to the preseason draft over a F2

Surely GWS aren't going to do the same

 

[Thylacinus]

Surely GWS aren't going to do the same

Got a few hours yet!

 

[CrouchPotato]

What time does the fat lady sing?

 

[arrowman]

What time does the fat lady sing?

7pm our time, I think.

 

[kirky]

Just give them the F2 that they want and get the deal done.

Why bother haggling in this instance?

 

[CrouchPotato]

7pm our time, I think.

Many thanks.

 

[Jarman3]

Yeah what are we expecting back? A F3 or F4 or something? Do we really expect to get anything worthwhile with that to make it worth burning this deal?

 

[Crow till I die]

Why bother haggling in this instance?

Maybe we are holding the F2 for draft night - maybe to try and trade with North for pick 2 (ie 4 + F2 for 2 if North are happy to take any one of Lalor, FOS, Smith)? But if we could get GWS F2 back as part of it or trade a few F3's for him, it still allows something possible to happen on the night like that.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

It does seem a bit odd this is dragging out so long, but then I didn't think GWS and Essendon would be haggling over a pick in the 40s or 50s for Stringer. List managers just seem obsessed with winning every aspect of a trade. This deal, Parker and Stringer should have been done last week, yet here we are.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Is Peatling worth a 2nd rounder? You can get good players in the draft if you are good at that pick.

 

[1970crow]

I don't think it was fold with ANB. As part of him nominating us we agreed to get the deal done early.

Which is a fold itself, we didn't need to do that, if he ended up at Port, stiff poo. And once Peatling chose us, we could have just gone back and said shit's changed.

 

[1970crow]

Yep but then we’d be folding for Peatling by giving the extra

Peatling is worth a second rounder. ANB worth a second with change coming back. But at the end of the day, you only pay what you have to pay. We're negotiating hard with Peatling, but we didn't with ANB and now we're potentially paying the price for lazily leaving value in Melbournes hands that we should have gotten.

The AFL hold back approving or at least releasing, agreed deals to make it seem like an exciting and dramatic finish. It keeps everyone looking for updates all day.

I'm certain Peatling is one that has been agreed by all parties and held back for a bit of drama.

This.

They desperately want their TV coverage to be relevant.

It is a future 2nd rounder.

We don’t have a 2nd rounder this draft.

 

[Crow_68]

And just what does 'bending over backwards' consist of?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Odds on any of Richmond, North or the Eagles swooping in in the PSD?

I don't understand our position here, a F2 is more than reasonable.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Looks like the giants boys are having an influence on our club already

 

[Shuestar13]

Well done Sam, doing his job trying to keep the viewers engaged with the deadline day charade.

It will get done. The concern for the PSD is likely us (WCE) - we had strong interest in him. Richmond and Norf nothing from what has been reported. If James has committed to/wants to go to the Crows, it will happen even with the PSD you’d think.
