Really original stuff from Treloar nominating the biggest club in the country as his preffered destination

So brave

Hope the Pies pay way overs

Hardly the most attractive though.

Next.

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

Doubt it was the Pies. They'll try and get away something ridiculous like Witts or Seedsman plus next year's first round pick.

Hope the Giants entertain realistic offers (from us) or bend them over, royally

He is Collingwood bound no doubt after the way Buckley just carried on.

Is this the same bucks who a couple weeks ago said that Collingwood had improved from last year. Though I doubt he is still saying that after their tragic loss against the bombers.

Bucks and Collingwood seem to count their chickens before they hatch they seem to think everyone wants to play for them, they cannot understand 70% of football loving public and players hate them.

$$ will get the job done for someone then its a matter of trying to negotiate the best deal with that club. Hopefully we have the $$'s to attract him and he has obviously had a recent first hand experience of some of capability with that stirring win over GWS.

I really hate this increasing practice of young players (< 23) 'nominating' clubs and invariably getting to their nominated club. If you're out of contract and want out, then clubs should be able to trade you wherever. Stop putting a gun to your club's head and at least be a bit flexible, either that or wait until you've done some hard yards and qualify as a FA.

agreed, it's sickening.

Yep, like the sickening request from O'Rourke to go to Hawthorn.

As Roos says, the players don't need free agency! The system works already, and clubs don't get screwed.

It is on the clubs, they should hold firm. I thought GWS played their hand well last year. They held firm and made the Bulldogs pay massive overs for Tom Boyd. When a player does nominate to go, if the club isn't getting overs - then they should shop around. But the new rule of future draft picks will generally ensure players get to their preferred destination.

mind you he hasn't exactly set the world on fire.

Interesting, both he and Toumpas have struggled since being drafted.

Mate of mine who follows the hawks thinks O'rourke was as big a blunder as Dayle

Yep, proves that top picks aren't the panacea. Plenty of duds at the top.

Officially off to the pies. Told gws today he is leaving.

Massive get for the pies. As much as I hate to admit it.

Makes me physically ill to see how easy it is for young guns just to waltz in and out of clubs, knowing we have the next Wayne Carey on our list.

AFL really needs to allow clubs to trade without permission.

Far too player biased right now.

the current system just means the best clubs kept attracting the best talent and the lower clubs end up paying overs for b graders.

Yeh but Dazzle...we have Petracca

Of course we do. Who I think will be just as good as Treloar.

Don't worry , when he plays us he gets Viney.

Cavorted around on Sunday too.

Already made his mind up where he was going.

Have to be a team player there though.

My concern and I know the trade period hasn't officially even started yet is that we won't get this "A" grader and will be a "B" or "C+" player.

That won't help us much.

Treloar ... nominates the filth.

So what's the real difference between free agency and doing a trade in this instance?

At least doing the the trade GWS should get compensated & not @ the mercy of the afl compensation.

Can't see how Carlton would be out of this (should they want to be in it) with pick one and maybe two . Believe it has been stated somewhere, deal will done on the best basis for GWS.

Remember we worked a little magic with Tyson and Salem and there is also the Silvagni connection. How do Collingwood beat that?

All sounds very bland to this point but funny things can happen.

As long as they play their roles it will.

As long as it's a player we get 100% buy in from, then that's fine by me. Sure I'd prefer Treloar, Dangerfield or O'Meara to say Aaron Hall. But as long as the player we get plays his role for the team then it will help.
