I’d rather bank the $$ and chase more class, like Merrett next year.

Treloar is a good player, but his delivery is his biggest weakness, and we don’t need more of that atm, especially on big $$.

    If Collingwood are desperate enough about their salary cap dumping then they need to lower their expectations in trade compensation. They've made their bed, time to suffer the consequences of bad list management.

    i’d happily rather a good bloke like treloar with speed and skill that’s perhaps 5% less a player (delivery-wise) than merrett..talk about a punchable head! i am actually not sure there’s too much different between the two - one has blonde hair and one brown

    Besides playing for Essendon, which admittedly is pretty severe, I’m not sure what Zac Merrett has done wrong.

    I would take him every day of the week over Treloar.

    And 5% less delivery wise? I think you missed a zero.

    Merrett and Treloar are both very good players but Merrett is 2.5 years younger so is a more attractive option.

    Is Merret available in any way?Or is this just dreaming

    And Merrett is a free agent.

    Restricted free agent next year I believe, and there were rumours he wanted out this year, but Essendon stamped that out pretty quick.

    He would be the perfect compliment to our midfield imo, but there will be plenty of competition to get him if he decides to leave.

    Thanks FD so we could make a play this year for the right deal

    Don’t know Merretts game well but isn’t he an inside mid only? With good skills. He would add to our list of players wanting minutes on the ball.  

    id prefer Whitfield or Kelly to play on the outside

    i'd happily trade out some of our average surplus mids like Harmes and AVB and free up the money to bring in Treloar.

    Treloar has burst speed which they lack and he'd add another dimension to make our midfield instantly more dangerous.

    Cannot hit targets we need that like a hole in the head. Grossly over paid by Collingwood I hope they are stuck with him.

    that's because they're not as good as Treloar. I agree that his current contract is overvalued, but i dare say he could be got for cheaper than that.

    He has a contract that has to be honoured. Any team that takes him has to pay it less whatever Collingwood would supplement. Why is no one rushing to get him?

    because teams are smart and waiting to see how low the Pies will go when they get desperate to move him on later next week.

    Treloar turns 28 in March 2021 so the 5 seasons left on his Pies contract covering his 28 to 32 year old seasons. He's had recent history of significant soft tissue injuries. His contract pays him above market terms based on his ability and recent availability and it runs for another 5 seasons till he turns 32.

    Hard to see how Pies can shift him unless they agree to cover ballpark $1,000,000 of his contract over remaining 5 years. Or a combination of Pies subsidy and Treloar agreeing to take a pay cut (Why would he?). Pies have next  to no hand. Treloar can say no to a trade and force Pies to honour contract or tell them which Melbourne based club he has agreed to go to and with which they make a trade. Salary dumps are common in salary cap sports but a salary cap dump of a contract that has 5 seasons to run requires a special kind of stupid.

    What a salary cap cluster seemingly caused by above market contracts post 2018 Grand Final and unplanned for trading back in of Beams. The later requiring the disastrous  extension for Treloar to push back money to fit Beams in. Overpayed Grundy and signed him till 2027 ie his 33 year old season. Pendlebury in 33 year old season in 2021 and I'd suspect he is still in upper echelon of player contracts despite being past his prime. 

    Good luck Pies. OK. Not really.

    It’s probably already been stated or asked in this thread but didn’t he re-jig his contract upon request from Collingwood so they could squeeze a couple of players into their salary cap? Now that deal is starting to hurt them they want him gone. Incredible (if true).

    Beautiful Reading ? 

    Trelaor will be paid out, no other Club is going to touch that situation if they have an ounce of intelligence. 
    This could stuff the Filth for years

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
