Speculation Leek Aleer [OOC 2025]

[9874123]

Super talented player stuck behind two of the best key backs in the game. Taylor and Buckley are both young, and not going anywhere so could Leek look elsewhere for opportunity. Pick #15 in 2021, definitely done enough to hold his value despite playing just 12 games as there is no shame not being able to break into that backline. A number of clubs would be keen on him you'd think. What do you rate as his odds of re-signing with the Giants?

If Giants lose Haynes, Cumming, and Perryman as is rumoured, it’s very easy to see Aleer getting a spot in the team.

He’s not replacing Cumming or Pez and Haynes is well past it …. He’ll continue to be back up to Sammy, Bucks and Idun

 

[Mutineer]

Has his kicking improved since his junior/Central Districts days because it was awful back then, it looked at times like his coach had told him to handball as the 1st option?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Blues could offer him games next year almost guaranteed as the 2nd KPD. We're rumoured to be asking the question along with Haynes, no offense to Haynes but he looks well and truly cooked and has for a while now.

What's he worth in a trade?

I'd think a pick inside 20 atleast.

 

[AFDogs]

I'm hoping we're asking the question. Like the look of him.

Pick 15. Into his 3rd year. Played 12 games all up and not getting games now. No matter how you look at it, not worth a pick 20 and under and it doesn’t increase someone’s value if they are behind guns. Also his kicking isn’t great at all. Pick 21-30 imo or a pick upgrade. No team will give up a 1st for him.

I'd think a few teams would pay up something between 15-20 for him. He's shown some promise

That sounds perfect from a GWS perspective, but would you really expect him to sign a new contract next year when the pitch is for him to continue to play back up for blokes only a couple years older than him? He is way too good to spend his career playing 6 or 7 games a season.

I’m just responding to a post that said he could replace cumming or Perryman next year …. He won’t

Yeah fair, I am just curious on the Giants' fans perspective on him. Given how good your key-defensive stocks are, a really good player is going to miss out no matter what.

He’s probably gettable for a decent pick

He's under contract. If you want him you are paying overs.

His short kicking is fine now. There is other things he needs to work on.

 

[ioppolo]

Who's on the list to take over as a tall defender over there? I'd imagine he'd step straight into best 22 at the Dogs with Jones not far off retiring and Keath out of favour.

Busslinger.

Decent second round pick.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

What's he worth in a trade?

Mid 2nd rounder at best… 28-36?
NM should throw maybe 22 at him. A bit high for mine.
Saints pick 24 if Battle leaves?
Tigers Pick 29?
If compensation picks push these out by 3-4 then it might be about right.

More than that I reckon.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

More than that I reckon.

Who’s silly enough to offer more than that is the question I’d ask?
Only Sydney at picks 18 & 19 is the best you’re gonna get, but I can’t see that happening TBH.
After comp picks is around the 20-21 mark.
He is an instant starter? Maybe.

 

[Dk007]

This guy would be perfect in Swans.

 

[Morro]

Would be a great get for us, automatic best 22, and we could offer an early 20's pick comfortably. Also a perfect age for the GREATEST and FASTEST REBUILD ever.

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Yep.

Time we brought him home.
