Is it incriminating photos?

It’s to play with Ned McHenry, Pealting follows him

Rumoured in early August he was going to sign an extension, said the "I don't think fans should be nervous at all", then requested a trade early September

 

[crow2crow]

I might remind you that they also didn’t know about Dawson either…

I just think we would have heard by now...

 

[cm_perfect]

Where did the Bartel noise come from?

There’s a dad joke in there somewhere

[Shifty Crow]

We have something reasonably positive in our favour, however I think he’d probably prefer to stay at home. He’s a western Sydney suburbs lad. Having said that, if the deal is too good to be true, this one thing in our favour could be worth its weight in gold.

He’s from Pennant Hills which is more Northern Sydney.

We probably need to offer a contract that GWS will find it hard to match

GWS have had a deal in front of him for several weeks now, so one can only assume the decision is to stay in his home state for less $$ or move interstate

The media NEVER knew Dawson was coming until we announced it.

 

[WheresGroomgone]

I’ll admit I’m somewhat teamist and don’t know a huge amount about fringe opposition players - but looking at the basic stats why is everyone so keen on Peatling?

Am I missing something, he seems fairly average…what’s the kicker?

there are five clubs linked to peatling though... how could we not be a 6th? if interested

He was Sub a few games that has skewed the stats, he really stands out on the field

Speed and lack of midfield exposure before injuries to Coniglio and Kelly etc...then he caught fire..

- James Peatling

im worried hes will brodie

would like to see a whole season starting midfield. there's some risk

Rankine - he's off to Essendon!

No wait, he's re-signing to stay!

Yep, better go the known quantity, lets keep Laird in there

There's a lot of risk

Would rather not have someone taking midfield minutes from pick 4 and Edwards

Has good speed and agility, smart player as well

Has taken time to build his tank to play AFL midfield minutes, and GWS midfield is hard to break into
