Was only a gut feel from them, but they thought he likely stays as there’s more opportunities with Cumming and Perryman gone to be a best 22 regular.

Just not as a mid?

I thought he was looking for midfield minutes? Or was that Perryman?

'There’s more opportunities to be a best 22 regular.' - Have they seen our list?

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Reads like a concession summary from your source to be fed to fans.

My source is from someone in recruiting at a club that isn’t the Crows, they wouldn’t care about this

 

[jackster83]

Seriously, why do we have to throw out these types of insults? How old are you?

This thread is an absolute dumpster fire today.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Perryman does go through the midfield a little bit, him leaving just opens up another midfield rotation spot for him. This was only a gut feel from another club not involved in this trade though, they were only definitive on the contract terms.

 

[Crowfan75]

Is it possible to keep this thread to just rumours & speculation? its annoying asf reading the arguments in here, take it to private messages.

Amen take you’re bickering to a private chat

We've offered him a better deal than his current side.

It's all we can do.

Is it?

We've missed on countless targets over the past 3 years.
Is our target aiming wrong?

Channel 9 revealing Nicks “new right hand man “ in sport tonight

Ch9 about to announce Nicks' new RH man tonight in the sports report....

I'd suggest we've also offered the mid time he desires but wouldn't get at the Giants. He'd slot nicely into our rotation.

Yes we've missed targets of course, but the fact he's (reportedly) got down to 2 and 1 of them is us, means we're probably doing a few things right.

It would certainly help to attract players if we could actually make the finals once in a while.

 

[Trigger13]

If we do get Peatling, something will have to give. And it won’t be Laird. Very concerning that guys like Taylor won’t get a look in. Let’s hope he replaces guys like Berry and Dowling, who in my opinion, aren’t going to make us better long term.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

It would certainly help to attract players if we could actually make the finals once in a while.

That’s got nothing to do with this, we are trying to pry out a player that is a local academy product and has all his family/friends living near him. Offering more money and a guaranteed midfield spot is the best we can do here, if that’s not enough we can’t do anymore.

 

[BunjiMC]

More money, more midfield time, happy gf and play infront of 45k+ regularly...... the decision not actually that hard.

Leaving all their close family and friends though, that isn’t an easy decision

Helps that his and his partners best mates are coming too then.

I think he played footy with Nick Murray too

Against that is our dysfunctional reputation…

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Managed to get some intel on Peatling from my contact. The Crows are offering the best deal by far in terms of pure $$$, if he stays at the Giants it will be for less money (even with the extra year added today). We have given this our best shot, it he stays then there’s genuinely not much else we could have done.

We are in a position to offer Peatling more money & more midfield time... so hopefully with 2 good mates at AFC, he decides to join them.

If he doesn't make an announcement prior to their B&F, I would be feeling very confident he is leaving GWS.

 

[Cromulant]

Against that is our dysfunctional reputation…

Leaving a flag fancy to the 15th side is a factor for sure.

Top of the page if you want just rumors

Great addition by the mods.

Walking away from an overpriced trade wasn't a mistake. The mistake was caving and going back the second time.

Although you have to shake your head in bewilderment when you look at the 2 first rounders Carlton were demanding back then for Gibbs due to his contracted status, then look at what they're now reportedly offering for the also contracted (and back to back All Australian) Dan Houston.

Part of their annoyance was they’d paid the frontloaded portion of Gibbs’ contract and he was bailing on the cheap portion.

Bailey smith to Geelong….

Worst kept secret for the year.

Now if Oliver follows him that will be something else...
