Treloar video released by Collingwood a tad prematurely, dont suppose he says: "if you are viewing this I have been kidnapped and had surgery on my groin".

And still the AFL sits back trying its Jedi mind tricks, nothing to see here.

Deal is done, poor form from Collingwood on the release of the video though.

And Eddie had "no idea"

Fmd hes a clown sometimes.

Probably came as news to him about AT's surgery !!

But no trade has been agreed to? F me if I was GWS I'd send him to the draft and raise a complaint with the AFL.

Collingwood can do what they like. They are clearly above the rules.

Isn't it sickening to think what Eddie would say if this was a Collingwood player heading to GWS, instead of the other way around?

Disgusting, disrespectful, and apparently also illegal in AFL terms... but not if you're Collingwood I suppose.

Im loving GWS hard stance on Treloar and Mcarthy to be honest.

So he signed a contract before even being traded? Gotta love how Collingwood make their own rules.

The AFL decided to ignore the Treloar 'secret surgery' which ostensibly his manager, Bulcher arranged and paid for.

Apparently, Collingwood knew nothing! Very Sgt Schultz like .

Bulcher has form...was Scully and Tippetts manager when they 'conned' their clubs.

(He was suspended for a year and Tippett for 6 months.)

GWS have asked AFLPA association to investigate: "Greater Western Sydney has written to the association, which is responsible for the conduct of player agents, asking it to examine the role played by Peter Blucher in arranging the secret operation". http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-10-22/aflpa-to-investigate-treloars-manager-after-hip-surgery?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=RSS+feed%3A+AFL+Latest+News

Will Bulcher take the fall or will he dob in Collingwood!

Kudos to GWS for lodging the complaint.

Surely it's bleedingly obvious to all that Collingwood purposely leaked details of a "secret surgery" and then the "hacked video" as they were purely stunts to ward off interest from other clubs as the deal was stalling?

They are good at micro-managing things off-field, that's about it. As much as I like their list, it is full of individuals, and they don't look like 'buying in' anytime soon. Buckley just isn't a very good coach, he isn't a likable person, and the playing group don't play for him, they are massively underachieving, and big game players look disinterested.

I disagree with a lot of that and I suspect they will be there or thereabouts next season. we will know more next year I suppose!

They should've been thereabouts this season. Eventually they'll get closer, and fans will laud praise upon Buckley. But I can't see these individuals 'buying in' to the point where they challenge well structured sides like Hawthorn, and to a lesser extent West Coast/Fremantle. Its not that Collingwood don't have the list, they do - probably even have the best midfield in the game, yet they didn't even make the 8. Cloke also didn't perform, Elliot looked disinterested and selfish. White didn't look up to it. The addition of Howe probably just means they have 2 Jamie Elliott type players. Darcey Moore is a shining light, but he is still a kid. The addition of Treloar will help Collingwood, but its not like they were lacking class in their midfield in the first place IMO. They have issues 'buying in', and they have forward/backline issues.

More uninterested than disinterested (just joking - I know the word is changing its meaning, but I liked it better when they were two distinct words)
