Reasons why he won't leave for Carlton
1. They are going to be terrible for at least the next 3 seasons, pushing for top 4 by 2020 is incredibly optimistic.
2. Their recent history demonstrates they are incapable of getting a rebuild right
3. Home ground is at telstra dome
4. Mid tier attendences
5. Mid tier facilities
6. Mid tier football club
7. Entrenched reputation for instability at board level
In short there is a distinct low brow "st kilda" fell about Carlton as a club atm and they are not going to attract anyone until they can shake it.
Basically the clubs in Melb that players want to move to are Hawthorn and Collingwood. Because of ladder position you may add Richmond to this group but I remain unconvinced of their long term credentials tbh.
WOW so one eyed.
here is a funny fact. Our starting 22 this year was with Manadue and Cory Ellis, which makes our starting 22 7 months younger then yours, yet we are playing finals, so to suggest your future is brighter and are the chosen promise land for players is laughable.
If I was Adam I would look at the below
Richmond - Larger crowds then the Pies and any other club ? Check
Richmond - Does it have elite training faculties the best in the land - Check
Richmond- Is this a young list that is finals ready ? - Check. We have a younger 22 and have played in 3 consecutive final campaigns compared to the pies who have missed 2 years of finals.
Also with reading the pies board and this thread I cant find where this confidence is coming from ? I know its that BF poster who mentioned his mate, who apparently works in rentals who said Treloar nominated the pies as a employer ? lol. Firstly, if that was true, its not, but lets say it was, that poster has just made his mate lose his licence and has just got his work place sued, so its rubbish. Secondly, Treloars management and the club he goes to would work out where he is living in the short term till he settles on a place.
All i know, is that the GWS are spot on. He has not made a decision and will this week. The tigers are as good a chance as the Pies as of today. I doubt the blues will get him, as both the pies and tigers have been into this since last year but I guess we will see.
