Ya know i agree with that but it wont be for silly 800k a year for 100 years type thing, we are better run club then that now. 650k @ 7 years, man i would do a deal like that. It is paying now I admit for his future ability but the plus side, it protects us having to offer him more in 4 years if his form explodes as he gets older.

that is if he comes.
4yrs is a huge gamble these days let alone 7.(Yes i know the Swans signed Buddy for 90yrs.) and i see where your coming from and in the 7th year 650 would be cheapish,But i don't know,This type of deal would make me nervous each time he runs out onto the park.

Just listened to the audio. KB actually sounded pretty convincing..

it would have been a major troll alert if he had of suggested we are getting all those other players he mentioned, but maybe, just maybe there is SOME small element of truth to what he said??

would be huge if true.

collingwoods tears would be delecious.

I heard it and thought he was anything but convincing.

Would love it to be true, but I’d be very wary. KB is all about KB. He loves to say sh*t and stir the pot in order to get attention. This would have been broken by someone else if it had legs, not KB. Not one single media outlet is running with it yet either.

KB's got nothing to lose by saying Teloar wants to join Richmond, because if he doesn’t get to us, he just says “ He wanted to go to Richmond, but he couldn’t get there, had to abandon his hopes, coz they couldn’t do a deal blah blah…..so I was still right…..blah blah…” He does this sort of stuff all the time KB.

Really hope it is true, but will just cool the heels until it has a bit more traction to it.

Don't think people quite understand just how good Treloar is. I've believed for a couple of years now that he's a future Brownlow medallist, he's just so good around the contests and a smart player too. I'd suggest he hasn't made his mind up yet but he's far from locked in at Collingwood. I'd say go for it, have a crack at him, $650k over 7 is fine. Absolutely trust the guys who are organising and sorting through trades and FA. We've been solid last couple of years, now is when we start getting really involved.

agree 650 is fine. It's when it gets up to 750-800 where it will throw out our pay structure

People understand fine. He'll cost two first rounders, unlike Danger who is free and better. Bennell is more talented, quicker, more skilful and suits our needs better.

Here's the audio of what KB has said...

I've just felt a little movement in my pants.

The club will make the right call in terms of pay structure etc. Fwiw, I think he's worth that price, especially in future years, but won't be necessary to do that to get him across
