NO! You mean the final outcome is what anyone with the slightest bit of logic could see from a mile away?
Traded Adam Treloar [traded with #26, #33 and #42 to Bulldogs for #14 and 2021 R2]

But if you're forcing Treloar or one of those others to kick the ball or play as a receiver more often in the rotation, would it be an addition by subtraction?
I think you'd get better value for your needs just rotating Zac Williams through the middle.

BB is most likely off to Essendon.
Well there's constant whispers about us being interested in Oliver and even Wines so it seems the club thinks we can fit in another 'inside mid' and Treloar would be the quickest and most flexible out of that group.

Kicks too many goals for Collingwood to be interested.

Treloar should be a Collingwood untouchable, especially with the impending retirements of Pendlebury and Sidebottom in the next 2 years.
Would love him in Navy Blue.. Would certainly give up more for Treloar than I would for Saad.

Except that Brown isn't really much of a ruck (which we need more of in that role, to spell Grundy more often), is coming off a leg injury, and is older and less athletic than Cameron.
The Pies need a true 50-100m from goal CHF (hoping Will Kelly can fill this role), or at least for their marking HF types to show more consistency (Will Hoskin-Elliott, I'm looking at you), more than they need to upgrade on Darcy Cameron. It's the transition into the forward line where things break down. Playing Jamie Elliott closer to goal (instead of having as many spells in the middle) may help too.

Not sure that changing our gameplan to allow Brown to hit his numbers will necessarily translate into being a better side and playing winning football in 2021.

St Kilda can cover his cap hit but I dont think we have the draft picks to pay for him.

Doesn't mean the club is right to think that way.
We must have something brewing, if we're looking to offload AT.....Cameron? Gunston? Time will tell.

You could say thatabout every Melbourne club really.
He's probably not EXACTLY what we're after (given we already have a few who butcher the ball in our midfield), but he likely ticks enough boxes for us to be very, very interested.

Does losing Treloar for one of those necessarily make us a better side, especially if Cameron turns up with his 2020 effort levels?
I'd like to see what the Pies can do with a full season of Grundy (played every game in the last 3 years, would like to see him play 70% ruck/15% forward in 2021, for long-term preservation), Pendlebury (5 games missed in the last 3 years), Treloar (18 games missed in the last 3 years) and Adams (15 games missed in the last 3 years) together in the middle, with Sidebottom (11 games missed in the last 3 years) and the up-and-coming Daicos on the wings, and Jordan De Goey (21 games missed in the last 3 years) rotating through the centre too.

Because Saad goes at 76% by foot where Treloar goes at 49%
Oh well he's your man then...I wasn't thinking you'd want Treloar to be playing as a distributor off half back.

Saad is a line breaker, not a distributor.

Like Oliver?
Pies won't trade AT to a Melbourne club. If they want to trade,it will be with GC, if he maintains he doesn't want to go he stays at the Pies. Any trade thoughts are for him to be with his family in Qld. He has 5 years to go on his current contract, he will be at the Pies or GC.
