off to Geelong.

This will be the ultimate test of how good that club is.

 

[George Kramer]

Has Rowey provided any updates on anything?

 

[BunjiMC]

I know we’re in the race, but how are you getting this impression?

Straight from the red sauces mouth.

 

[jenny61_99]

Who are Brisbanes ordinary players? Keep in mind they’ve got about 5 best 18 injured.

“Most sides”

 

[CharlieCrow]

Pretty sure that fed into both Mitch McGovern and Jake Lever's situation as well?

Mitch's wife is from Adelaide.

 

[crow2crow]

anyone listening to rowey take on peatling on 5aa just now. well what do you know. and yes he has played a shit load more AFL games than all of us combined so you can laugh all you like but I'm not the only one with my opinion clearly....

No so share what he said

Using Rowey has your evidence of being right is..... not good for you.

 

[Mutineer]

Mitch's wife is from Adelaide.

Yeah but it was said at the time she wanted to do a Uni course that wasn't available in Adelaid?.

 

[Cromulant]

No so share what he said

Basically he doesn't rate him

You think he watch all GWS games???

 

[George Kramer]

Basically he doesn't rate him

I’ve never actually seen him play so can’t comment, I’ve just seen his highlights which are going to be glossed, but his skill set seems like what we’d need.

I can only also go by his club want him as do a number of clubs.

I think this sums it up the most, his CURRENT club don't want to lose him, that says more than who wants to get him..

There's a fair chance he's going by stat's on the AFL app

 

[119others]

And that's the point being refuted. The players you quoted AREN'T Murphy's at all. They all played less than 40 games over 2-3 seasons and were churned, we've locked Murphy in for 100-150 games instead of moving 4-5 players through that role. No different to Mackay playing nearly 250 games at the club, he should have been moved on years prior but instead we gave all those games to a player selected in the bottom couple of the 22. If that's your ceiling, you shouldn't last beyond 20-30 games and a couple of years. Dowling can provide no less than Murphy after one season in the 2s. If he isn't projecting upwards at the desired rate, he gets churned too.

all good. i really just dont care that much so cant be ****** debating this further with you but feel free to keep going whilst i seek the occasional rumour which is why i am on this thread, cheers

 

[Coopers]

Is he like, 90% neck? What's his effective height?

 

[Mutineer]

There's a fair chance he's going by stat's on the AFL app

And Rowey wouldnt have the intelligence to drill down any further to see he was a sub 7 times and look at his T.O.G.

 

[Samcro24]

Is he like, 90% neck? What's his effective height?

Scorpus ?

 

[Freshj]

Again, take it as a grain of salt, not someone I usually get Intel from, but the info given was that its highly likely Peatling has decided to stay in Sydney.

 

[relapse]

Is he like, 90% neck? What's his effective height?

That's a question for Scorpus

 

[Samcro24]

I’ve never actually seen him play so can’t comment, I’ve just seen his highlights which are going to be glossed, but his skill set seems like what we’d need.

I can only also go by his club want him as do a number of clubs.

A goal kicking mid, nice change from our dour types.

Get him in. It’s the kind of pickup we need. Especially given that we repeatedly strike out at the top end.

 

[Scorpus]

Is he like, 90% neck? What's his effective height?

Look, he's listed at 186cm but I reckon that's more of a 180cm-type with a normal neck

 

[cleanhands]

Would be a very good acquisition

You lost me at "listening to Rowey". The worst football brain in the State, and completely clueless when it comes to any team or players outside of SA.

 

[fuic08]

What's the evidence he's banged up physically? He had the dual shoulder recos in 2018 and hasn't had an operation on them since - at least that I could find.

Had a few hamstring issues and a broken hand - nothing that seem long term issues/something he cannot get back to his best with.

I cannot comment on his mental state however I guess if Melbourne do trade him, it feels like they're happy to bank on him not getting back to his best which is probably the biggest concern for mine.

That said, still interested myself - depending on what it costs.

One of Gary Lyon's Melbourne defensive rants On the Couch, he was saying Oliver's hand has been bashed up all year.
