What a great pickup. Worth every dollar and more easily.
Has great agility... can't think of a player with more agility

Very powerful and agile over the first few meters - he gets out of congestion that way.
He can go laterally at speed as well.
Definitely playing really well the last two weeks. Would have to be close to getting coaches votes.

I would. Yesterday's performance was definitely an A grade game from a midfielder.

I had him as our second best player, based mainly on displayed skill and impact.

Yes. What I like about him is that he is different. I would describe him as a footballer first, with multiple skills, rather than any stock positional desciption. (Nankervis may be another one
)
Bloke literally had us single-handedly storming back into the game in the 2nd quarter with his work in the middle. Then what do Nicks and co do after HT? Barely put him into the centre for the rest of the game. Blows my mind with these coaches sometimes.

I have no problem with this. Regardless of whatever position he was nominally playing, he uniformly impacted positively across the whole game. I had him as second best.
Keep playing like that and he is clearly a top 10 player at the club with the ability to push higher. Pretty good “fourth wheel” in the midfield after Dawson, Rankine (who with calf probably needs to play more forward over coming weeks whilst Rash is out) and Soli. Draper to jump into that mix over the next year IMO.
Thats a very nice top 5 midfield and lots of depth under it.
Is midfield even our greatest need any longer I wonder..I think the midfield rebuild is basically done

Agree regarding Peatling. Milera used to have agility. He would slip tackle after tackle with his agility. He now seems to have lost it. Sadly, I have not noticed that previous weapon of Milera's this year.
Peatling has a different kind of agility... milera was just evasive with good feints... peatling is just fast and great turn and sidestep...
Milera will get it back though. He hasn't played much in a while. He'll get his confidence back
Peatling and Soligo distributing to Rankine and Dawson, or just breaking clear themselves - this has really flipped our CBA and stoppage work on its head compared to just 18 months ago.

I reckon it would be good to have one more gun midfielder right now, say Rowell.
This would relieve the load on Dawson and Rankine's bodies and help phase out Crouch while Draper is developing.
That would make it very sustainable.
Super game. Did I miss it, or did this set of highlights not include his first smother which was arguably the best moment of his whole game?

Well, we need to make him an offer he just can't refuse.I reckon it would be good to have one more gun midfielder right now, say Rowell.

Something like "imagine the $ you'll save on sunscreen living in adelaide".
Campo dislikes this.

Reckon he might (although obviously hope he won't) get a week for that dump tackle.
Again, where were you when I needed you during the week? I had people saying I don’t watch games and people liking those posts.
The umpire took forever to blow the whistle, but yeah I'm happy for that to be a week if it's consistent
Is there any word on whether the Crows has contested the charge? They had until this morning to do so, from memory.
One week seems fair to be honest.

I dont think we are, but it did make me pay attention to a few of those sling tackles this weekend.
