He did through the AIS program, Cameron or Boyd I wouldn't mind. WOuld be more likely to get Cameron as he is a Pies fan. If he wants to come to the Pies bad enough he can get it done. I just can't see the Pies having the same pull for Boyd
Silly season- Jeremy Cameron (update: has re-signed with GWS, thread now discussing Treloar)

My thoughts exactly, the pull of being potentially the highest profile player in the comp in 5 years at the biggest club in the country (which he supported) would surely help us.
Drop your argument on form through out the season it's points less they are into the final series and their team finished top two. All are playing in the finals and could go onto to win dual premierships back to back. You might not rate them but Clarkson does, time will tell.
There's one thing, they won't miss them and make excuses they retire. Hawks keep themselves up there by playing for each other and the coach no matter who is in and out.

Supporting Collingwood is irrelevant really.
How many players do you see request trades to clubs simply because they supported them as a kid. If he get's the chance to come down to Melbourne, he will go through the normal process and pick his best option. It is our duty to make ourselves an attractive option but I don't think we can really.
He will have better options to choose from if he wanted to come to Melbourne and there are clubs who could offer better things to GWS than what we can unfortunately.

I really hope they miss them more than what you have indicated when the group retires in the near future. I am sick of them dominating us. I can see Hawthorne over the next couple of years being big players in Trade/Draft period to secure mature bodied footballers to replace what they will lose in an attempt to maintain their winning run.

I don't buy into there being necessarily 'better options' just as I don't buy into players taking into account the size of the club/supporter base when coming to Collingwood. Success in teams is so topsy-turvy and the players know this, as long as you're not a club in complete shambles like Melbourne, or look like you could become one ie. St Kilda/Carlton, then you're as good a chance as any to secure their services.
As for currency, yes we're obviously shorter than a few others. However currency is entirely subjected to what GWS needs at the time of the trade. If they need a Key Defender, we're just about the best club to be trading with. If they want a young quality ball user through the midfield, we're probably the worst
.
I have only seen it become relevant in the event they are moving back to play in VIC and even then only if said meh can a) get a trade done and b) offer them what they seek remuneration wise.

Apparently Jeremy Cameron signed on with GWS for a few more years - sad, but we can put to bed any trade to Pies
If we land Cameron and Dangerfield we will win the 2016 flag. If we don't, forget it.

If Treloar demands a trade we won't have to give up a Beams.
When talking about SEN it would be helpful to know "WHO" is saying we are in to Treloar. If could be talk back bigfooty jockies? Or it could be an in the know journo. Please state.

If I was picking one of those two tomorrow I'd take Treloar every time.
You'd think it would be something like a first pick and a very good footballer. It would be unlike the Beams situation. Every other club with a bit of cap space would be throwing deals at the Giants to get Treloar.

If it were talkback callers I'd refer to them as such. By SEN I'm referring to broadcasters. Again, it's just SEN and their hit rate is pretty abysmal, but the link has been raised several times in discussions between KB, Denham, Smith and Ralph.
I place no stock in it, it's rumour mongering, but it's interesting to think about what he'd be worth to us.

Yeah Treloar is probably my favourite player outside of Collingwood.
But we were into Pavlich for a number of years also and look what happened there

And Brown.
Club would probably have a hit list of players they'd like from other clubs. Doesn't take too much effort to have a regular chat to a manager about a players longer term intensions.
Issue for me is more about whether we're ready to go hunting a couple of top players, season 2015 should clarify that.
