Peatling's got all the makings of a player who needs opportunity though.He's 24 and played 10-15 solid games of AFL footy if we are giving up anything under pick 30 or more than 500k for him we are setting our selves up for a huge backfire
Every time he's in the VFL he's gone out and dominated.
He's never going to go past their gun mids but also GWS's more balanced spots.
I honestly think GWS should have given him far more of a go given that they were winning games without playing that well at times this season, so were reluctant to make changes because an individual match had a W, even though they didn't do a lot of things well and bad teams were only losing narrowly to them by kicking inaccurately, and could have won and embarrassed GWS if they'd just nailed a couple of set shots.
It's also not a Garcia thing where you look at his physical attributes in terms of height, agility etc. and see that there's limitations, irrespective of the gaudy VFL stats.
There's more to Peatling as a player than your summary above.
