so he is a downhill skier ?Animal Enclosure wrote:Peake was a seriously good player during 2006 when the Dockers were flying. Long, scorching runs and goals from outside 50.
Whether he can get into the 22 remains to be seen but he has proven history that when he is in a good team he can be damaging.

Good work Michele. Maybe another new member in 2010. Or is he a member already?St Michele wrote:Well my husband ( who was a Freo supporter till he came to the Grand Final and Family Day this year and is now a Saint) reckons we have done well with him. Hopefully he will play as well as he has in the past and we will benefit.

True.
Bold it is.

On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

There's plenty of blokes who need to be surrounded by good players to show their true ability. There probably a few already in our side!Zed wrote:so he is a downhill skier ?Animal Enclosure wrote:Peake was a seriously good player during 2006 when the Dockers were flying.

We've got enough blokes who are consistently very good, adding a few that are pure 'finishers' is just cream on the top.

Research his conversion ratio and get back to me. My numbers tell me he is a goal front choker.
Still, I reckon the boss wanted him for his work other than in front of goal.
But, Wally Lovett was acquired precisely for his work in approaching goal.

Although I can't stomach the Dockers, living in Perth I tend to watch quite a lot of their games (usually it's to to revel in watching them repeatedly find ways to drag defeat out of the jaws of victory). Peake is very fast but has a habit of stopping in his tracks and backtracking in a big circle and finding himself being run down from all directions. We will need to knock that habit out of him.

We will correct his bad habits simply by offering him better options so that he doesnt have to turn around.1965 Saint wrote:Although I can't stomach the Dockers, living in Perth I tend to watch quite a lot of their games (usually it's to to revel in watching them repeatedly find ways to drag defeat out of the jaws of victory).

Hope it goes well for him. There's a history of guys leaving the Dockers and doing MUCH better at another club (Adam McPhee, James Clement, and Paul Medhurst, being the first to mind), so hopefully that trend will continue with Brett. I don't think anyone's expecting him to win the Brownlow next year, so we'll be doing well if he plays his part, when required, like if Gram, Raph or Ray get an injury. It seems our coaching staff don't rate this draft highly at all, so they obviously reckon he's better than we'd be likely to get with pick 48 in the draft.
