What upset.me? I'd never heard of peatling til a few days ago.

A lot of clubs were chasing him in the last few weeks.

 

[TryAnHit]

The 2021 mid-season draftee had a breakout campaign, finishing with averages of 13.8 disposals, 5.1 tackles, 3.4 clearances (all career-highs), showcasing an attractive blend of class and physicality at the contest.

Out-of-contract GWS young gun picks new club and officially requests trade

Is actually much better he avg
18.6 touches and 8.1 tackles

when he moved to the mids and had 50% CBA to finish the year

 

[FR0GGY]

Hey crickettragic shove this up your arse

 

[Crows I Am]

Meanwhile Hinkley is on 5AA and the Port board is going into meltdown.

 

[Amacca 23]

I'm afraid that's a Hail Mary shot

Yes it is but never say never a godfather offer he cant refuse and a house on the foreshore might help

A bit to play out, so GWS maximise their FA compensation ....rumour is a 2nd round for Cumming as it stands, pre Peatling announcement

AFL.com had a tier 2 speculated a few days ago (saying Perryman and Cummin may both earn same FA compo) meaning we have paid up (800k+). So end of first round obviously if that’s the case

 

[ABAB]

Sounds like Ken is refreshed and ready to go again and again after seeing Chris Fagan win a premiership, at 58 Ken is spritely compared to old man Fagan at 63.

Some ITK Port Power posters were correct, Hinkley had to make the PF otherwise he would have been sacked, that win against the Hawks is a win that keeps on giving.

 

[ABAB]

So with Peatling coming in, does this reduce our need for speed at pick 4, and we just go for best available (even if that is Langford)?

(I'd still like Lalor/ FO'S before Langford, but able to be convinced otherwise by those closer to the draft prospects)

Go for power like Lalor.

 

[Floating Doughnut]

He’s not a strong build for a mid, but is hard at it and can lay a tackle and slot a goal. Most importantly for us, he is different from all of our current mids and he has pace! Will slot in nicely.

Built like a wingman but as hard as a cat’s head.
Think he will win a lot of fans and would probably be second behind Izak for pace.
We haven’t had someone who can break centre and run away from players for a while.
Genuinely excited to get him to Adelaide.

 

[cleanhands]

Ok let's play a game:

Who will be first to announce the Peatling decision?

Morris?
Manure?
Edmund? (currently on air)
Slobbo?
Theo?

So what did I win

 

[pjcrows]

Ken comparing himself to Fagan is hilarious. He's four years advanced of Fagan, who has made two Grand Finals including a Flag, and six consecutive years of Top 6 finishes. Port fans will be blowing up hearing that.

Keep working hardery for longery, Ken.

 

[Disco Fox]

So with Peatling coming in, does this reduce our need for speed at pick 4, and we just go for best available (even if that is Langford)?

(I'd still like Lalor/ FO'S before Langford, but able to be convinced otherwise by those closer to the draft prospects)

I think list management know there's a good chance that West Coast will draft Draper & are ensuring, in chasing Peatling, we have more speed if that happens. Come on down Lalor(or FO'S).

 

[The Karma Bus]

Built like a wingman but as hard as a cat’s head.
Think he will win a lot of fans and would probably be second behind Izak for pace.
We haven’t had someone who can break centre and run away from players for a while.
Genuinely excited to get him to Adelaide.

Should be quite a different dynamic in the team with Peatling, Cumming, ANB, Pick 4 at some stage.
A bit more lethality and breakaway to us.

 

[CrowToon]

I fully expect to find out Gold membership has been exhausted by tomorrow morning. The lid has blown off.

 

[FR0GGY]

Hopefully finally some payback for stealing Phil Davis

Yup that hurt soooo bad losing him

[FR0GGY]

What happens with Joes contract?
Does he walk away from 900k and then have to pay his manager what he would have got from that?

 

[morris086]

That mark at around 2:07 shows why just looking at stats can be misleading. 14 disposals from 68% game time is never going to show a match saving mark with 20 seconds to go.

 

[GreyCrow]

Congratulations to the club and Reid

A big off season on field so far and hopefully more to come

No excuses now

 

[WetCrow1991]

Ken comparing himself to Fagan is hilarious. He's four years advanced of Fagan, who has made two Grand Finals including a Flag, and six consecutive years of Top 6 finishes. Port fans will be blowing up hearing that.

Keep working hardery for longery, Ken.

That's worse than Nicks comparing the Crows to Sydney on AFL 360.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Hopefully finally some payback for stealing Phil Davis

Third and fourth time lucky (Cumming and Peatling) hopefully after Hampton and Hately.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Go for power like Lalor.

I was leaning a bit to the speed of Draper .....however with 3 players coming in, with genuine leg speed, I'm happy with Lalor or Draper ....whoever is still available

 

[baldandbroke]

Imagine Tex in Brisbane’s side

Was thinking the same thing. That offer might come.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Sad to lose Unspent Cap Space from our playing list but ANB, Cumming and Peatling will have to do

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Should be quite a different dynamic in the team with Peatling, Cumming, ANB, Pick 4 at some stage.
A bit more lethality and breakaway to us.

The flexibility at our disposal now is enormous .....most sides are simply 2-3 players away from average to good

We were good last year, our ladder % supports that POV ....just injuries unbalanced us, and we had to play too much inexperience

We won't have that problem in 2025 ......but the last week, has spelt the end of AFL careers for some of our players, still holding onto some hope

Talk about competition for spots next year
