Preview R1: Changes for 2025

[Cromulant]

The point is, each of our midfielders can do certain things.

Peatling seems to be able to do all of them.

Fox Footy has assessed all team's 2025 "best" sides.

Ours is unremarkable, with Laird included, of course.
However, there was a very strange comment about Peatling, claiming that he wasn't a need and was very similar to what we already have. I don't see it that way at all.

Lol, pacey midfielder not a need.

Wtf.

Which so called Fox Footy guru made that call.

Rowe isn't on Fox Footy.

They usually have decent quality analysis compared to other media outlets.

Sounds a bit salty, doesn't it?

This is their comment

One of the big winners of the trade period, the Crows have bolstered their squad with key additions — James Peatling, Isaac Cumming and Alex Neal-Bullen — in all three parts of the ground. How Matthew Nicks opts to deploy Cumming will be interesting: do they use him as an interceptor or does he potentially push higher up the ground? Peatling is a good get but doesn’t necessarily fill a need for the Crows, as he’s a similar type to their other midfielders. Given Adelaide’s on-ballers have been criticised for being too one-paced, you’ve got to wonder what it means for the likes of Matt Crouch and Rory Laird

So they have contradicted themselves... as they don't realise Peatling is quick player.

Unless this assessment came from someone who knows the players attributes and has studied their games, I dont tend to pay much attention. Ex players and commentators are historically horrendous judges of players and teams.

You act surprised that they dont know about some players in a low rating team in a non footballing market. GWS and Gold Coast would be the least watched teams by everyone in the footballing media.
