If GWS decide to play hard ball.... maybe then its not such a done deal

Afterall whos to say GWS don't say f u Collingwood, we'll let him go to the PSD afterall we have list full of talent... Just to prove a point and stuff over the Pies

It would be nice

It sets an awful precedent though that would have ramifications for how they are treated by other clubs in the future. If the Pies come to the trade table and play ball then Treloar goes to the Pies.

Imagine if they offered a good deal and GWS told them to get stuffed? No one would want to deal with them again.

Face facts - Treloar will be a Pie by the end of the 2 trade weeks.

Agree with your top two points

Its not set in stone he will be a pie. history says though he more then likely will be

I believe the pies are pretty reasonable to deal with (negotiate these things) I was more thinking if the Pies give an average offer and try force GWSs hand..... I should have mentioned its highly unlikely

I agree with that though - if the Pies try to low ball GWS then they should definitely either send him to the PSD or try and look to deal with others. Pies won't do that though... well, they might to begin with, but if they see sense they'll do the right thing as any club would be stoked to have Treloar.

I don't see why some posters have to comment on (mindless) positive speculation. Just let posters have their fun if they want it. That's the fun at this time of year (rather than the finals series, unfortunately). Go easy on the negativity for a while. It's tiresome.

So "reality" has now become "negativity"?

Happy to let posters have their "fun", as long as you can promise that none of them will at any stage slag off Taylor or Viney for "letting" Dangermouse & Treloar (or Bennell or Aaron Hall or ...) get to other clubs. I'm all for indulging in fantasy, as long as it doesn't get confused with reality.

I just assumed the Filth were going to get Treloar..

Let just give them pick 6 and be done with it, they can throw in Bugg and we'll give them our third rounder...

Kudos to the club management for nobody having a freaking clue what we are doing.

If Treloar is humouring StKilda, he'd have to be doing similar with us.

We should give two first round round picks for Trealor pounce dees why should the Saints be any better than us show some balls

Is it weird that there has been no mention of us being interested in or going hard for Treloar?

I don't know what to think of it...

Josh Mahoney wasn't even asked about it on SEN this arvo and I thought Schwarz would be the first to ask?

Has he just refused to talk us like Caddy did those years back?

I think you've answered your own question - he may well have indicated to us early that he has no interest in playing for us, much like Caddy and Taylor Adams have done in the past. The club have probably decided not to waste their time and focus their energies elsewhere.

If the Saints are sniffing around though then I see no reason why he would go there over us. Wouldn't make any sense to me.

Surely Pies don't have room for both Treloar and now Aish has nominated them. I guess it won't be hard to pick up Kennedy

Perhaps.

The 'Saints in the running' talk throws a spanner straight at that line of thinking.

The Sainters.

Fark me.

I agree, although I don't think they would be ahead of others. Not much in it in my opinion.

Why is Treloar not our number one target?

He, Wines, Mitchell and Prestia are the best under 23 midfielders in the game, and Treloar wants a return to VIC.

We should be a major player for his services, and he is worth any long term deal.

Maybe they've given up on Trelor and grabbed Aish before the Hawks

Yep I'm surprised as well

I would think he fits all criteria to bring in a potential gun

Surely of hed consider the blues (not i belive Andy Maher) we could cash him up and get the deal done with gws

What the.. didn't he already nominate Collingwood??

Fat Ed already promised his Mrs a job at his media company. Unless the AFL investigated that and disqualified them from getting his signature... though it hasn't stopped them in the past (the ludicrous Footy Show guest appearance fees for Swan, Cloke, Shaw, etc.)

The press are taking the GWS stance of 'we will deal with anyone until a deal is done' thing and suggesting that all these clubs will try and trump the Pies to his signature. There is nothing in it as they would have had their chance to put forward their case all year... and he still chose the Pies. Unless the Pies decide to become tighter than a mermaids bra then he will end up at the Emirates with McChins.

He did

Yhere r whispers pies wont get the deal done

Typical trade week stuff.. nothing solid

Ed and Bucks have been far too shameless in their arrogance of getting his nomination to lose him now. They'd never take a hit to their egos like that.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
