Speculation James Peatling

[Barrybran]

That was very clearly a joke at your insurance company friend's expense

As an outsider who sees that the Bulldogs have a decision to make around which of their three key forwards they need to move on, that wasn't clearly a joke. Peatling would be a handy addition to the Dogs' midfield though.

We had the second highest scoring forward line this year and reportedly have no salary cap issues.

We are apparently really into Peatling but there's no way we trade a key forward to bring in a role player.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

But what if we trade Naughton for him?

You don't need to make any list changes though remember? You have the perfect list that doesn't need altering because James Harmes will save the day..

Forward like crushed it vs Hawthorn... So jealous

Lol not what Dogs fans were saying at all. We need outside mids and small forwards. The type of players you can bring in relatively cheap (2nd rounders). Not by offloading a gun key forward.

Anyway, Peatling is exactly the type of player we need. Would take Daniels place in the team. Hopefully we can get it done.

from outside looking in dont you have weightman and west as small forwards and dale and richards with some speed on the outside.

Peatling is none of those. You need another gun ball mover in the midfield and gotta give up a gun to get one back I'm afraid. Bont can't do it all by himself come finals time.

Going back to Peatling he isn't choosing you over the teams after him. Would be GWS, Eagle's and Collingwood only competing here.

He definitely won’t be choosing a 16th placed side doesn’t matter how much you offer him.

We rely on Vandermeer and McNeil as more defensive forwards and they lack composure. We've also rotated Poulter, Baker and Daniel through the wing and none are great. Replacing those 3 roles is where out improvement will come.

Richards has transformed our midfield and gives it a nice balance. Dale is a half back.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

He seems to be the perfect "support mid" like Drew, Rowbottom and co. Does the dirty work so the stars can shine.

Greedy or weird I know but I wish Freo had been into him over Baker from the start. He'd actually round our midfield so much better.

Surely GWS don't lose all of Peatling, Cumming and Perryman at once though?

Perryman and cumming will both go and gws are probably hoping for band 2 compo for both.
Peatling is 50-50 i reckon stays if the cash is right.

I think even if GWS offered Peatling the 4 years instead of the 2 years he will stay

 

[MarcMaverick]

I reckon Melbourne need him too.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Perfect type of defensive mid the Blues would be after instead of a Hewett or Kennedy type due to his running power and closing speed. Highly doubt we're even in the conversation but would like to see it explored by our list team.

He definitely isn't taking a 2 million dollar pay cut to play 2nd fiddle to Libba

What’s the supposed terms you guys have offered?

4 years 750k a year it seems. Definitely 4 years. We have met with him already/flew over to meet him .

Good deal for him. An ITK on our board said we’ve offered 4 years at $600k.

We would just up it based on current form I think. About to lose Darlings 800k of our books so easy to up it since the time we made our offer

 

[triple treat]

It will be between Eagles and GWS for sure. No club is offering even close to what we would money wise

Hawks 2nd rounder would be the deal i think

That's the 2nd time you've mention Hawks 2nd rounder!
So what are the Hawks getting for there 2nd rounder?

Barrass...

I reckon it'll be our first, would you pay that for Peatling?

 

[THE_GUN]

Surely a 2nd rounder would get it done?

2nd rounders could be anywhere from 21-40 these days
depends on the team Pick #8 with nearly 50 games
#25-#30 looks about right imo

Pick 8 in the midseason draft not national draft

My Bad went off a stupid google search
#40

Saints currently have pick 24 so would be right in that sweet spot.
