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 $$.

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.

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

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

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
