WA Demon Boy 966 Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Not sure about playing him on a wing? I mean i'm open to seeing it but don't think I've ever seen him there before? Quote

Why else are their List Management talking to a player with 5 years to run on his contract? It's SNAFU. 4 Quote

I would look to trade Brayshaw + Tmac for Treloar + Phillips. Collingwood save about 200-300k with that so they can resign Mihocek, Phillips apparently on 550k next year but it's the last year of his deal so you'd imagine we could get him on a cheaper contract after that and still have cash for Clarry. If we needed to throw in a future second or third to get it done I'd do it. No way trade any off our gun mids we need depth and adding Trelor would compliment it perfectly.

BDA 23,048 Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Collingwood are a disgrace the way they are handling this. Treloar did them a favor back-ending his contract and this is the way they treat him. I wouldn’t trust them as far as I could throw them. Wouldn’t all these selfishness issues have been known in 2019 when he extended his deal? Didn’t seem to be an issue then. Senior players saying they don’t want him. Talk about lunatics running the asylum! The pies are disintegrating and its a beautiful thing to behold. 1 Quote

Redleg 42,174 Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 If Treloar leaves it will be for a song to the buyer. Pies have stuffed this up big time. They have no negotiating power in this deal at all. None. Do a deal or pay him and keep a player you don’t want, who has been totally disrespected. 2 Quote

In what world could anyone survive let alone thrive on $850,000. No, 900k makes that leap from poverty to just getting by. When I was in India there were these people living on the "nature strip" in makeshift tents who dug trenches (by hand) for fibre-optic cabling. Oh, the irony. Wage? AUD$2 per day. Quote
Rab D Nesbitt 8,955 Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 From the outside looking in he seems too clean cut and respectable to fit in at Collingwood. Clearly someone over there hasn't done their due diligence. The clean police record alone should have set off alarm bells. 1 4 Quote
Uncle Fester 2,848 Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 I’d take him but not on anything close to his contact $$$. Good player but not as good as his contract. Quote
brendan 3,458 Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 I wouldn’t take much notice of Buckley’s denials, had no idea of what was happening with lumumba either 3 Quote

Treloar's kicking in 2020 was most definitely below standard, but it hasn't always been poor. It's dropped away, but I dont have the expertise to know whether that's hamstring related or even a mental issue to do with his hamstrings. While never a great kick he's certainly been an acceptable kick. Dangerfield isn't a great kick either. Nor is Fyfe. Treloar has finished top 3 in the Pies B&F on 3 occasions out of five. The other two years he didn't play enough games due to injury to figure. Injury permitting he'd be a fantastic pickup for Melbourne and exactly the type of mid we're lacking and need. Yeah, totally. Hamstrings and mental stuff aside, he's precisely the sort our midfield lacks. An accumulating, goal kicking mid with pace. If the aforementioned stuff lines up and Collingwood pay a bit of the contract, it's a bit of a no brainer IMV. 6 Quote

The fact is though the pies haves completely stuffed up their TPP. They want shot of his salary and are coming out with all sorts of justifications. For that reason I’m inclined to believe Treloar. 1 Quote

In my personal opinion there's no way you could fit Oliver, Trac, Treloar, Brayshaw, Viney, Harmes, into the same midfield so I would let go one if Treloar wanted to play for us which Brayshaw would be the one who's on decent money and would lack opportunity. 1 Quote

The issue to consider is having them both in our midfield. If that's not possible then it's not possible, end of story. But, if it is, then it's worth considering. 4 Quote

Wiseblood 24,637 Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 If he came as a legit salary dump - and they paid some of the wages - then I'd look at it. You would be silly not to. That doesn't mean we get him, but you would have to seriously consider adding him to our midfield. I'd say we would absolutely need to move Tom Mac on at the very least to get it done, but I think that would be a workable outcome for the club. I still don't really think we're in the hunt for him but you never say never at this time of the year. Quote

And they are throwing Treloar out with the trash so they can get a deal together for JDG. If this is the juggling act they have to do to re-sign a preferred player, they can't work on any deals to get players in through the door. What a mess. 3 Quote
Bitter but optimistic 22,289 Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Issues with separation from family? Unpopular with other players? Injury cloud ? Issues with the coach? Humungous salary. While I don't know the truth of any of this ( and it's possible there is more bubbling away) , I just get the feeling that "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark". Pass. 3 Quote
