He's going to the Pies, it's been a done deal for weeks. Forget the peripheral nonsense about Richmond or... heh, Carlton.

They're even less attractive than us. Good luck, Bolton! He might land a Vince/Cross/Tyson type during his honeymoon draft but he'll struggle beyond that.

The Pies were the club pushing hardest to trade future draft picks, so it's no surprise this was on the cards.

They know that Treloar added to their midfield equals finals, thus trading their first rounder for 2016 is no loss (if it's between pick 14-18)

Robbo on 360 just mentioned that we are right into Treloar and have offered obviously a bit of cash.

But going by the way Buckley was reacting id say he was Collingwood bound.

Well we couldn't have auditioned for him better than we did yesterday. What midfielder wouldn't want to kick the ball to Hogan for the next decade? :)

But I agree, I don't think he will end up anywhere else but Collingwood.

I think the Hawks will get one of Treloar or Danger. I don't think money is as a if an issue as others make out.

Sorry to put you on the spot dazzle, but can you give a short run down of what was said re: Treloar? Didn't get a chance to watch it. Cheers.

Well Robbo mentioned that we were obviously into Treloar and have offered a bit of money to him along with 3 other clubs.

When he tried to bait Bucks he played a pretty straight bat. Kept pestering whether Treloar had told Collingwood he wants to come and all Bucks said was he is still a GWS player and we (collingwood) are still going through our season with the exit interviews. Buckley just simply would not budge at all.

Cheers mate.

I suppose Bucks can't do more than that at the minute. Until Treloar says he wants out and nominates his destination it would be unprofessional to say more than he did. Nice to know we are at least having a crack at Treloar as well, although I feel we aren't really in contention for him.

He avoided answering the question like the plague.

If Bucks reaction is anything to go by Treloar is off to Collingwood.

Things can move pretty quickly in the player exchange market.

A week ago the Tiges were right in it as they were prepared to offer GWS 1st round picks from this year and next. Collingwood reportedly were thinking they could get away with using only their 1st rounder.

GWS want to encourage a bidding war, and we hold decent trading chips. They'd want us (along with St Kilda, Essendon and Carlton) involved in trade talks.

The Bulldogs weren't Tom Boyd's first preference, but they offered the best, most immediate path back to Victoria. Can't remember if Pickering's his manager, but he was obviously advised that the deal was too good to knock back.

All our recruiting team can do is put ourselves in the mix, offer him the best possible deal and see what happens.

The amusing part will be how Collingwood will try and justify Treloar's value after their Beam's tantrums last year.

Right back atcha Eddie.

It's the only time I've been remotely tempted to say GO Giants

I agree but I think someone's already mentioned two first rounders. This years and nexts.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
