I don't speak for all the drongos that have jumped at KB's comments. But in fairness if Tony Shaw came out and said Treloar was definitely signing with Collingwood there would be about the same amount of Pies fans jumping up and down about it.

No need to tell me to cool my jets, I'm not going by any unsubstantiated media reports.. just plain logic.
Sorry, I was just generalising like you did in your original comment. The "cool your jets" remark wasn't aimed directly at you, just people who are getting carried away.

I don't think it is bias to point out Richmond being in a great position. He would complement the Tigers midfield brilliantly. This is the type of player that pushes your team from the bottom half of the 8, up into top 4.
Agreed it's not bias for any Tigers fan to say that. Point was when 2 supporter groups are debating something that concerns both their teams it helps for all involved to take a step back into a neutral frame of mind and try to look at the situation as unbiased as possible.

On a side note, one could argue that we'd be pushing for top 4 next year without Treloar. But the addition of him will definitely make it more likely.

If I was Treloar and both clubs have put down close to the same offers I would choose Richmond over us. He can go to a club playing finals straight away, why go to a club that are trying to play finals.

As a pies supporter i would not care either way we get him great, don't we keep our picks and draft vest available. Who cares

Fair enough, I'd also advise people who are getting carried away at this to cool their jets. But I don't think it's really generalising to be surprised at the amount of Pies fans who are confident in getting Treloar going by your 2015 season. The same can be said for Tigers fans who are only going off KB's comments.

If you're giving your first rounder to Brisbane for Aish as you suggested, do you really think that we'll deal with you? Treloar is worth this years first and second picks and next years first.

You really think we'll take your second rounder and a list clogger for Treloar?

We make more of a statement by sending him to the PSD and getting nothing for him than that outcome you alluded to.
Lol. You're funny.

Regardless of where he goes, he will cost two first rounders. Plain and simple.
Don't agree with this. First and second maybe - 2 first's is a big stretch.

There have been better players who's clubs have got less in return than 2 first rounders. Who was the last player that warranted 2 first round picks? Can't think of any.

Such an insightful, well thought out comment.

In decades to come academics will struggle to break down its complexity.

English professors around the globe will write theses about the structure and poignancy of the words.

Kudos.
Why be such a campaigner?

He was right in saying that you're funny for suggesting Treloar is worth 2 first round picks + a second rounder.

And there is no way in hell you're going to "make a statement" by sending him to the PSD and get nothing for him. That's an even bigger load of bull than saying he's worth 2 firsts and a second.

It's not actually.

And the club will do that because when Whitfield is off contract next year and clubs think they can low ball us they will think again.

Why do you think we got $1,000,000 in cap relief and pick 6 last year for Boyd in the Griffen trade?

Because we will not now, and have not in the past been push overs at the trade table.

Ever since our inception and clubs offered Spuds and Duds for our high picks, we told you all to go and get phucked and built from scratch.

If old mate reckons Aish is going to the Pies for their 1st first pick to the Lions what does he think the Giants will take? Their second rounder, and a list clogger?

He's phucking delusional.

And he can't back up or defend himself when challenged on it.

Pathetic.

Regardless of your disagreement with him, the thing that's most delusional here is thinking your club will try to "make a statement" by sending Treloar to the PSD and get 0 for him. That's the biggest load of trash in this whole thread.

Only message that would send to the rest of the comp is that your club is a basket case. Will not happen in a million years.

Did you really think your childish hissy fit was worthy of a considered response?

When you're willing to have an adult conversation regarding trades rather than blindly demanding what you want and making dumb threats about things you have no control over, I'll give you a proper response.

Again, no, it's not.

The club would do that and is prepared to do that.

Bank it.

More like sperm bank it.

No way the Giants do that, and they wont have to because they will get a fair trade with Richmond and Treloar will be happy to come to us if it means the Giants get value.

That's because Richmond aren't trying to flog off a player we don't need or want while all the while saying it's better for you if you keep him, i.e Witts.

The PSD is a Wobble thing. If he selects the Wobbles and they don't give us his fair value (which you guys would) we would send him to the PSD.

But that is only in the case of him nominating Collingwood only and them trying to shaft us.
