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?

  • Quote

    I thought I'd read that because of salary cap problems that a few hadn't had contracts extended.

    Correct me if I'm wrong.

    He signed an extension last year until end of 2017.

    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

    SEN reporting he's chosen the Tigers.

    If true sucked in to anyone associated with the Collingwood football club in any capacity.

    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.

    If nothing else I've just unloaded about 25 text messages to 3 of my mates. 2 Collingwood and 1 Richmond. A as Dees member I get so much joy out of the little things.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
