  is possibly back on the trade table, but doesn't link him to any specific clubs

For someone who allegedly watches a lot of football this comment is absurd. Peatling is easily best 22 lol

Watching a lot of footy doesn’t translate to a good judge of talent

Yep Cook is a longshot to make it , been overrated around these parts

But we do love his skills by foot and speed

Crunch season next season, we could do with those traits , needs to turn into a man

Yep one more year ,

Has “time”, good decision making and footy smarts and definitely great kicking skills but speed?!

Agree unlikely to make it and overrated. Needs step change improvement in 2025.

Both Cook and Pedlar need to have the preseason of their lives.

Wouldn’t rule us out re Clarry. Called it a week ago. Our pick 4 is available per reports from July.

DISCLAIMER: No inside info. Just conjecture.

Trade week craziness. Let’s roll.

Gees I know only highlights but a lot to like, speed, hits the contest hard, clean hands, decent kick, kicks goals and good decision making.

He’s a no brainer target if we are a chance and would give our team a big point of difference.

Big get for the club if we can nab him to compliment Cumming and ANB, plus we would have a number of existing players who would be very very nervous.

One of the main advantages

Getting these 3 blokes in instantly creates a real fight for spots and SHOULD make our other players very hungry if they want to have an afl career

He’d be in our top 5 or 6 for speed on game day
