Adelaide has reportedly joined the race for GWS midfielder James Peatling as the 2024 AFL premiership season comes to a close.
Peatling has jumped into the calculations of many clubs as a career-best season has seen Collingwood, St Kilda, Western Bulldogs and West Coast flagging their interest.
Now it is the Crows' turn, who are set to secure unrestricted free agent and teammate Isaac Cumming.
Cumming - who has a close relationship with Adelaide legend Taylor Walker - decided to move to South Australia last week, selecting the Crows over arch-rivals Port Adelaide.
Now Peatling, who is out of contract, faces a crucial decision amid heavy interest from all over the country.
Adelaide is hunting GWS midfielder James Peatling.

AFL Media's Cal Twomey reported that the Crows met with the 24-year-old last week in a bid to bolster their midfield that, at time throughout 2024, looked single-paced.
It was only two weeks ago that Peatling declared his desire to remain at the Giants but it is understood that he is weighing up big offers from rival clubs.
"I don't have a contract for next year, so I'll have to re-sign," Peatling said onย SEN.
"But everything is moving in the right direction, and we're just taking our time with it and focus on the finals with me playing consistent football because that is something I hadn't done yet.
"Everything is trending in the right direction, and I love where this club is at, and hopefully we can get something done soon.
"100 per cent (I want to stay)."
A pick in the second round will likely be offered to secure the services of Peatling.
Adelaide currently holds Picks 4, 25, 42 and 60.
It comes as the Giants are set to lose Harry Perryman and Nick Haynes to Victorian clubs, while untried swingman Wade Derksen is expected to head to Melbourne.
