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

The $100k offered each year by the Pies, is totally insignificant. If that is all they will pay, he is staying put.

With luck Mr. Leg, would love to see them stuck with his salary for next 4 years.

Treloar would be nice...! But too expensive and 28. We can spend money elsewhere and be smart about it...! 

I would like to see us put the time into Harmes to get back to his best! Because his best is very good. He can play a lockdown role on opposing teams best mid and win his own ball... And can push forward and kick a goal or two! 
 

We shouldn’t underestimate the list we already have! The cattle is there... it’s whether the coach can get his sh#t together! 

 

This is just a really really bad breakup and it just went wrong. 

The pies fans are filthy and want answers. 

Not sure where Adam will ended up but it will be odd if it's at another melbourne club. I mean the pies think he will not cope with his wife away but as he has said it's something they did discuss. 

Id have him.

Absolutely. They are passing on a complete meltdown to a club 1-2 years later

Much prefer that meltdown in black and white

Wouldn't have happened under Gary Pert's watch?

Exactly, if someone wants to take on the other 800k a year they have rocks in their heads...

 

I wonder if covid and its affect on salary caps is an issue too, preventing the contract from being restructured?

For example: maybe if they offload him Collingwood is prepared to pay more next year, but not in year 5, but Treloar may not want to "front end" his contract to 2021 in case we dont have crowds and salaries are halved again.

Think of it like the Jack Martin effect.

Harmes going into the midfield against Brisbane was instrumental to our late comeback in that game.

It is actually worse.

His last 3 years are reported at well over $1m each year.

That could be about $1.1m - $1.2m a year, for 3 last years of his contract at age 30-32. WOW! That is mind blowing.

For some reason 28 is considered ''old'' by many footy fans, especially Melb. supporters.

Shaun Burgoyne was 27 when he joined Hawthorn with a knee that was supposedly ''bone on bone''.  He's spent 11 years there.

But I sort of get it.  Melbourne players are usually cooked by the time they're 30.  What is it about the MFC ?

Unless Collingwood pay at least $250K they can keep Treloar.

the higher pick you give up, the more the filth should pay

give up a first rounder? pies should have a third of his salary going under their cap for the duration of the five years

the fact that they only want to pay $100k of the rumoured $900k for 2021 and NOTHING after that for the remaining four years is a joke

Apologise to the journo I said was a liver based on Nathan Buckley’s tweet denying why had been reported. What the hell is wrong with Collingwood, I hope it blows up in Nafan and Eddie’s face next season.

Sign me up

Two out of three ain't bad.

I'd love to know if we were ever interested in Treloar. Would have loved him, but anyway, it is what it is.

https://www.afl.com.au/news/525567/who-s-paying-what-dogs-pies-in-messy-stand-off-over-treloar-s-4-5m-deal

"The Magpies are playing hard-ball on the amount to which they will commit, and are taking the view that this is not their problem. 

It is believed the clubs are as far apart as $200,000 a year on at least one season of the five-season deal.”

So this is getting uglier by the minute. Thank god we didn't get involved in this deal. Also can't believe a deal can be signed off without the remuneration side of things sorted out.

Simple solution.

In law, where parties are not " ad Idem" or of" one mind", in other words where the terms of a contract are uncertain, it can where possible be set aside.

Therefore the Trade is declared void and Treloar returns to the Pies.

That threat, would bring a solution to the problem.

Player Agents and the Players Association must be furious with the Pies.


What a joke

Both clubs should be sanctioned by the AFL for failing to properly document the deal.

Player contracts aren't rocket science.

That seems like the appropriate outcome, but will the AFL have the guts to enforce something like that?

 

Hilarious. 

Player managers will be looking on with interest. Good luck pies signing any FA's over the next few years.

Sweet Jesus, what a rabble. They have lawyers And contracts for a reason. They extended Treloar LAST year. One of the worst handling of a player I can recall

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
