I think treloar should be our no1 target. Pay him what he wants 800k/900k the kid is an absolute jet. Our first pick and Howe would have to beat anything the pies are offering. Get it done. Also what ever happened to sipposs from the Saint from memory he had a good kick on him. Big wraps on him a couple of years ago

Has anyone got any mail on why we haven't even been mentioned in the same sentence as Treloar by the media?

The talk is Collingwood is almost a done deal, and that North Melbourne and Richmond are also really involved with big offers.

Did Treloar tell us he's not interested and not to waste our time?

We must have so much money. I'm really surprised not to have heard we've made a big offer.

Because we're irrelevant...

Bullcrap!

We have more upside than North or Richmond.

Just ask Brayshaw Petracca and Gawn, three youngsters who have extended their contracts.

I don't know why players are keen to join the filth. They are treading water and other clubs will be on the up quicker than them.

They've taken a hit in recent years by trading away some decent players but what they got in return will see them back up the ladder in no time.

Couldn't agree less. Have done a substantial rebuild yet nobody has realized. Have a gun coach. Why wouldn't you want to join them.

I would take our list over theirs if I was Treloar.

Swan 31

Cloke 28

Pendles 27

Sidebottom is an excellent 3rd/4th mid, Frost will be a very good defender, Adams is good DeGoey could be good. But really what else do they have aside from small flankers?

In the past a mid 2nd rounder would be worth little to GWS as they might not even use it, or for another team its a roll of the dice that someone you rate as a first rounder slips through.

Now it has serious value for GWS and some others (this year at least) because it might significantly reduce the ongoing cost of an academy player even though there's no players you actually really like at that stage of the draft anyway (this year at least).

So Tomlinson for our 2nd rounder most years would be a carp offer, but this year it would look very appealing to GWS.

So in that way, the northern academies can really work in our favour, if we're smart.

Just saying.

Love the idea of Tomlinson btw.

Added to that, managers love linking their clients to Collingwood, apparently just a mention of the "wealthiest" may raise the value or asking price. At least thats on theory, no clue if it holds any merit... >.<

Close: The Herald Sun put the Pies (and the Tiges) in the article for every player on the move. Click bait for the website and an extra 10,000 copies sold. Fact.

That said, the Pies do seem to be genuinely in the race for Treloar. Aish, no chance.

Adams, DeGoey, Broomhead, Crisp, Elliott, Freeman, Grundy, Kennedy, Langdon, Marsh, Maynard, Moore, Scharenberg, Willams.

I reckon they have a lot to work with. Each to their own. And that doesn't address the 9 years of "rebuilds" we've had and Treloar would have every right to doubt this one. Plus Collingwood is a much better brand than MFC and playing in front of 60,000+ at the G most weeks would have it's attractions.

I know if it was my son who'd I'd suggest if I was impartial.

I gather the offer of a bad tasting fish is not a good one ;)

I can see the Pies regretting that big time in October 2016 when Aish has spudded it up iand they have no first rounder to use

Yep, Treloar is a gun but I would be very hesitant on compromising future drafts for Aish.

Upside means nothing until we start winning more games. North and Richmond are competitive and beating top four sides. We aren't.

I dont think aish is going to get to collingwood, simply because brisbane will demand overs to make a point after the beams thing

Big get for Richmond if true. Can't believe we were never identified as a possible club who were interested.

Having no idea at all personally, I would say we definitely would have enquired and enquired hard about Adam.

I'd rather us being stealth about these sort of things rather than public about it as the last thing we want is to hear "the dees are in to player x, player y and player z" and then get none of them. Doesn't sound great.

I still have faith we will jag a big fish from somewhere.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
