Treloar big fish that TRP is talking about?

Hear me out.... Reported today that Collingwood/GC were talking about Pick 1 and what it would take, and Treloar was floated, but shut down by him...

Left field, I know, but you never know, unless you're ITK, you know?

Could it be Fyfe?
Ticks the disgruntled/shit club box
Was interested a couple of years back?

That's not a boat...

He signed a 4 year extension in July. Doubt it is him.

Should the AFL be calling Joe Daniher, the Missing Link?
I thought we had moved on from that kind of thing..

Apparently not happy that Collingwood entertained the Suns idea of trading for him.

Perhaps... But i'd think it's a real kick in the teeth from your own club where you feel as though you are in the top 5 but they're still willing to fish you about.

I'd be upset.

The trade period is way to long ! It should start Monday morning and finish Friday evening
But the afl would be racking it in from advertising and will probably end up making even longer
Trade radio is just constant advertising I end up turning it off because it annoys me that much

 

[zeggie]

Ok, I've gone through the "hints" the ITKs have provided, and excluding Gaff hints, it's someone who is a free agent of some sort end of next year.

Someone "unmentioned"

De Goey?
Duncan?
Heppell?
Whitfield?
Cameron?

Then the one's who seem to fit the bill but have been "mentioned".

Crouch, Grundy, Viney.

 

[LanceRomance]

No

Largest ocean liner in the world.

Good enough for our big fish.

Needs to be an hour max, make it more like Russian roulette..

That fishing about happened last year, so I doubt he's too upset by it if he signed an extension 8 months later. Seems well entrenched at Collingwood.

Question, didn't one of the ITK's say the mid had been an important part in premiership team/s? Or am I completely mis-remembering?

I have not seen this posted. Got a source? Really curious now, if so that is pretty dumb thing to do.

Anyways I think the most gettable fish is one of these 3 players.

James Harmes

Not sure if you can classify them as big fish

 

[Arr0w]

Depends whom the so called gun mid is....
Until it is a known it means very little as gun mid to someone maybe B grader to someone else.

In the eyes of the beholder

 

[footyfan1978]

You know this?

I know, it does not add up to me.

If it was someone I not heard or expected about yet, I'd think Luke Shuey comes to mind, but I await to see if any gun mid not named is wanting to move.
Fyfe makes no sense as would have been far bigger drums beating

Exactly, so will find out if it to be liked or not at some point this week.

 

[blue healer]

Definitely flathead

Looks like a bloody big flounder to me.

A few media outlets running with the story. See FoxSports, 7news, and AFL. Don't know if we can post links in this thread, but just google it.

Edit: Take the stories with a grain of salt, but still interesting...

Story goes that GC and Collingwood were discussing possible trade scenarios using GC's first rounder (ie. Pick 1 this season), and Adam Treloar's name was brought up by one party (not clear which). Both clubs were evidently open enough to the possibility that the prospect was run by Treloar himself, who promptly shut it down.

If I had to guess, I'd say GC approached Collingwood, asked about the chances of dealing Pick 1 for a senior midfielder, put Treloar's name on the table, and Collingwood weren't completely averse to the potential of a Treloar for Rowell deal.

I thought I'd read that these discussions took place late last year (ie. for GC's "future" first round pick), but it appears that's not the case. Reported to have been the second half of season 2019.

Maybe Treloar is miffed at the Collingwood list management team, but I don't think we'd have the currency to get the deal done. As much as Collingwood might have been interested if it was Rowell coming their way, I sincerely doubt they're as excited about Pick 9 plus our future pick (8-12?).
