Player Watch James Peatling

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Just what we need. Adds some bite and speed around the contest, takes the game on, makes things happen.

Brilliant pick up with minimal trade capital needed. Shrewd business

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Was a little disappointed with his first 2 games . Last 2 have been good though.

Liked his defensive efforts today, put some ripping tackles on Rowell

He had a couple of great smothers as well
His last two games have been excellent.
I thought he was easily our best midfielder today

 

[whattagun07]

Has been brilliant.
Has a bit of room for improvement in his cleanliness of pickups / handball receives, but the odd fumble might come with the speed at which he hits the ball/contest.

 

[Redline]

He had his best game today I thought, which says alot as our opponents were better. A great addition.

 

[Mattrox]

I'd say that was last week when he stood up when Dawson and Crouch had down games.

Yep. I even commented on tthat it was a much better game than the previos 2 to mates. But one game is an event. This game he stepped up and was even better; that hopefully cements a trend.

 

[jirkago1975]

I wasn’t sure when we picked him up but he’s been very good the last [emoji638] games. He had a lot of repeat effort today too, tackle after tackle and a fierce attack on the ball. His speed is an added bonus, looks a very solid player for us

Steal of the trade period

 

[SydCrow]

Just what we need, fast and slippery. Great game today. Love this guy.

Feels like the exact midfielder we’ve been crying out for since 2015

Serviceable first 2 weeks showing signs. Good last week and excellent today. Our best midfielder today and second best for team after Beast. Works so hard, is nimble and VERY agile, fearless and continues to draw frees not by ducking but charging after picking up the ball with head already lowered and maintaining that low trajectory. Can see him being top echelon for frees for in the whole comp.

Another great pick up by JR

 

[119others]

Well done to Jenny for another good supporter group brunch today before the game.

Not sure where to put a few comments but Silvers said we had been following Peatling closely for 2 years.

Basically what Horks did this week is now the norm. If you wait much longer you miss the boat

 

[Scorpus]

Our midfield mix is better when he gets more time on the inside

He has clearly performed better when Crouch has either not played or been down

He had one of his best games last week only getting five CBAs?

Not saying he shouldn’t get more CBA time, he absolutely should, but I don’t think Crouch has anything to do with his form, like at all

EXactly what we were missing in the middle. Adding him, Draper and Rankine adds such speed and excitement!

 

[Scorpus]

Not saying he shouldn’t get more CBA time, he absolutely should, but I don’t think Crouch has anything to do with his form, like at all

Even if he didn't get CBAs last week he played more on ball than in the first two games, at least to my eye. Less time on the flanks and at half forward

 

[Bob Neil]

He was absolutely immense today in all aspects. He’s never going to be the most polished operator but gee his power and grunt both offensively and defensively makes him a very complete player and such a complementary piece to our group. Thumbs up to list management.
Now for a ruckman…

 

[jamesclean]

A big fan - he’s a bit of a “chaotic neutral” fox in the henhouse type unit. Actually reminds me a bit of Sloane.

 

[NSolis]

Absolutely terrific the last two weeks, especially in first halves.

 

[1990crow]

He makes an interesting case for permanent first string midfield minutes.
I'm not sure our depth is good enough to not play Crouch at all.

 

[footy4ever]

Damn! What a pick up!!

And what pick ups Peatling performs on field! Such clean hands and fantastic anticipation of the bounce and tumble of the ball. Clever evasive skills. Can roost a ball as well as deliver. Loving this guy's contribution.

 

[steve9798]

He was brilliant yesterday. Looked every bit the A grade midfielder. Excellent trade.

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

He has such poise and evasiveness. I wasn't too familiar with him before this season tbh, so this is all new vision for me, but damn, he's so effective.

 

[WeeBlake]

He was brilliant yesterday. Looked every bit the A grade midfielder. Excellent trade.

Wouldn’t go quite that far, but he was much better this week. Still plenty of development in him too (only 49 games).

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

He has such poise and evasiveness. I wasn't too familiar with him before this season tbh, so this is all new vision for me, but damn, he's so effective.

Has not only added to our midfield depth but importantly balance as has good pace & doesn't mind tackling.

We look much better with deeper rotations.
