Agree, not sure why we had to rush to sign him. He may have had interest from other sides during trade period.

Can see him spending a fair bit of time in the SANFL next year.

I can even if we dont get Peatling.

Others will go past him.

 

[GreyCrow]

Its all about depth. The very best sides have midfield depth coming out of their backsides. It creates a juggling act in terms of selection but you can never have enoygh AFL quality midfielders.

Thats valid but 1 in 1 out doesnt change that

The win for a Berry move is ( hopefully) another 2nd-3rd round pick

 

[Draft Bored]

I've decided this morning I'm ok with the body of the bird. The top half is the ****ing shitshow part. I also feel like the Adelaide writing is very basketballish.

I'd still vote to bin the whole thing and start again.

Agree. I like this version in the logo thread. Little bit less white between the stripes and change the head and and feet a little. Winner.

 

[Draft Bored]

Am I the only person who doesn’t know anything about Peatling?

Who is he and why do we want him?

Do you play fantasy football? Guy was very decent out of the blue this year when he wasn't the sub. Great stats.

 

[Fritz n Sauce]

Why do people keep quoting this flog?

Why do people asked the same question that’s been answered 6 times. Read the replies before asking a question

Apart from the head looking like a lizard, I don’t mind this

Someone send this to Shuttleworth now

 

[George Kramer]

I don't think tagging posters in order to target other posters is a good look?

“Target” bit extreme don’t you think Kristof? Clearly harmless joke

 

[Trigger13]

Sorry. But where is the Peatling stuff coming from? Can’t see any media related articles.

Geez, he’s be an astute pick up. Looks a real good mid prospect.

No I don’t, but seeing as Laird and Rockliff were considered gods in that space, I’m gonna need more than that!

It still looks like a year 11 graphic design assignment

(B+, a bit confused, you need to decide if you want parallel lines or not, and if you want curves or sharp corners. I think you have tried to refer to the SA coastline, but it will be lost to most viewers because of the 90 degree tilt. Should the eye be coloured?)

This is good if our objective is to emulate aeroplane designs from the 1980s.

I was hoping for a total rework to find something more this millennium...the world has discovered 7D cinema and we can't even find a third in our new logo design.

 

[Eddie Murphy]

So port may have an uphill battle to trade their f1 for Lukosius. How about this trade then

Houston to St Kilda
Crows pick 4 to Port
Phillipou to Crows

Or it could be

Houston + pick 4 to saints
Phillipou to crows
Pick 8 + f2 to Port

New favourite for free agent, another Giant’s future uncertain, deal that needs AFL clearance — Whispers

New favourite for gun, another Giant mulling trade, deal that needs AFL clearance — Whispers

Saints getting reamed here but surprised posters are disliking the idea. If we can get a gun mid more advanced in their development for Pick 4 we absolutely should (ie Phillipou, Callaghan).

Won’t happen, but it’s definitely the best-case scenario to address our midfield woes.

 

[hippyhippy]

I wouldnt trade 4... Trade the f1

Have an actual rumour for this thread. Heard we have spoken to Parfitt's management. Apparently we like his fit with our desired age profile + versatility. Issue being list spots and would need to do a medical. First time I've heard any info from this fella but he would have known Brandan in his North Adelaide days.

Would make sense given our reported interest in the past and his SA connection. Don't hate the idea but would probably mean no Peatling if it happened.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Do our coaches see ANB, Cumming and hopefully Peatling as replacements for under-performing mature-agers who lack leadership

No ....that's why we chased them

Did you put any thought into the post ....don't answer that

In theory he would be a good addition, but as someone said earlier Geelong dont usually delist guys that are any good to them.

 

[Greenfinger]

Is Peatling really a possibility for us ? Would be another excellent pick up imo. Loads of upside

Might have been a general enquiry .....if you watched Parfitt this year, he wasn't in the greatest shape .....maybe a lack of commitment was behind his delisting

In his current frame of mind ....a firm no for me

A couple of years ago I would have been on board but not now. Ex- Cats players rarely improve at new clubs, and he can’t get a game even in Geelongs weak midfield.

Purely as depth, if we had lost spots, ok. But we don’t.

Do you like longshots

Imagine being 7 years into a rebuild, finishing bottom 4 and not being sure if you can pick up players because of list spots. Hilarious.

What's the difference between a general enquiry and showing interest?

Surely you don't enquire if you don't have at least some interest?
