Stringer is a Geelong type move. Damaged talented player on the cheap.
You back in your strong culture not to be negatively impacted by a potential bad egg. If their clear potential comes through, awesome. If not, nothing of note lost.

Seems like every club in the country is linked to Peatling this trade period. Hopefully it ends up in a bidding war and we get something good out of it (or even keep him!)
If peatling goes to west coast, I think we ask for Hawthorn's pick 13 they will give eagles for Barass.
Maybe Peatling, 2025r2 for 13,2025r3 at worst for us.
 
Would the playing group be done with JP after this? To shop yourself around to this extent kinda closes the door on your current teammates a bit. It's hard to say it's for better opportunity it's now just a cash grab.
I wouldn’t begrudge colleagues looking if other companies were offering more money

That’s life
 
Nothing wrong with the club doing their due diligence... if he wants two years it will be guaranteed cash for year 1 and another contract if he hits contract markers (ie 15+ games played). Given the supply/demand dynamics the Giants are faced with annually, these are the kinds of gambles they need to take.

He would win the giants 1-2 games in 2025 just from his conversion and provides flexibility up forward (ie Toby can play more mids if required).

I don't think so. Nothing wrong with trying to get the best for yourself, especially with the attention he is getting
 
Fox is also saying that Adelaide will be offering Peatling a 5 year contract, and with his mate Cumming reportedly joining Adelaide, he may end up there. Also further reporting that we are interested in Stringer, and that Perryman will join Collingwood.

The Giants currently have a three-year deal on the table for the Academy product, but speculation has come about that the Crows be offering for - or even five - years for Peatling.

“He’s more popular than Pesto the penguin is James Peatling,” Riley Beveridge jokingly added in reference to the Melbourne Zoo phenomenon.

“I like the fit… I see why the appeal is strong,” Twomey finished by noting.

I do agree with the club doing due diligence - absolutely we should examine the shit out of what it would look like and how it would benefit us.

The question is whether he can achieve the second paragraph outcomes. That's a judgement call.

not at all.
He is a guy who has fought for a spot on a list and is having the opportunity to secure his future.
going into the season he was probably 50/50 to get a contract next year. Now he can lock in a decent contract for 4 or 5 years. The team will not hold that against him.
 
One wonders if Cal Ward’s decision to go around again has had an influence on XO’s decision to explore options. Cal retires & XO is first in line to solidify his spot rather than being on the fringe he is now. Ditto Peatling. In and out, sub & not a lot of game time. No Ward & that spot leans toward those two.
 
We'd have to win over his missus/partner who is big on promoting "brand Petracca".
I think we are zero chance at getting g Petracca. Rumours are he is only interested in the biggest clubs, for his Petracca brand. We are far too off Broadway. But it would be remarkable to get him.

What's wrong with a megatrade? As far as I'm concerned we came out pretty well from the one in 2022.
I think we could have done better trading directly with Eagles.
Other clubs will try to take advantage of us.
We should also up our offer to peatling, unless we actually don't rate him as much as other clubs do.
Hopefully if he leaves it is to someone with a decent 1st rounder.
Something like peatling, 2025r2 for 11,2025r4 appeals to me. I don't want pick 32 for him if clubs are offering 5yrs, 700k a year to him.
 
There are seemingly 5 clubs after James Peatling. Some reported offering 5 year deals on decent cash. And yet all I've heard is people want to do that deal for a Future 2nd.
If his value has popped off. Surely we can find a pick closer to 20.

I'd prefer to keep him.

How much would you be willing to pay? And for how long?!
