Our money offer won't change.
We won't change our pay structure for anyone. Apart from
Im sure if we offered just as much $$$ as Collingwood we wouldn't be having this argument as he would have nominated us.
Sorry, I'm not quite up to speed but why would he have chosen you guys if the money was the same as Collingwood's offer. Is this confirmed by guys on here with good sources?

We need depth. 3 for 1 offers are not something we should be entertaining.
Depth can be obtained through FA though.

Garland
Stanton
Johnson
Golby
Adcock
Jones (barely)
Dwyer

Whilst they aren't world beaters they are more than capable of doing a role if needed.

They need a fwd that can play ruck. Doubt they want Griff though.
Fair Call..
Would you be happy letting Griff go?

Seemed to be starting to put some decent games together this year.

Unlucky he got injured..
Would have thought he was well embedded in your best 22 for 2016.

24 years old next season..
Break out year contender?

Happy for blokes like yourself to stick around and discuss logically. The other Pies fans can GAGF though

Yes I would. For the exact reason I doubt they'd want him. He's a tease. All the talent in the world but can't put it together.

IMO we play better with 2 tall forwards and our medium sized mids at FF. That's our x-factor that other clubs don't have. When we played Griff on the weekend we didn't play Dusty/lids/cotch at FF. Happy to keep him as depth but if someone wants him and it helps us land a player I'm all for it.

I like Griff. Have for many years. Lovely guy, booming kick and can really fly at it.

But his stock standard game is 11 possessions, 3-4 marks and a goal, or maybe 2. He's a good player, but for where we want to go, he's probably not good enough.

He was on a 1 year deal going into 2014 and even then that was probably only because he had zero trade value.

I'd have thought he'd be of interest to Freo, Lions or GC before GWS.

So if thats the case why is Collingwoods offer to Treloar more than anyone else's.
If Pies are such a destination club than by rights your offer should be $100k less than anyone else and he would still nominate the Pies.

Get your head out of your ass. Surely even the most ignorant Pies supporter knows you are obtaining players over the last few years because Fat Eddy has offered up more money than anyone else.

Our midfield doesn't need depth as much as it needs an out and out gun inside mid. We literally only have Cotchin and Miles who are are elite in this role, and only really Miles who has been effective because the opposition mauls Cotchin because they know how bare our engine room is for quality clearance players

That's why we're going so hard for Treloar, because he's the type of elite mid who can lift us into premiership contention and allow our midfield to compete with the big bodies of West Coast, North Melbourne, Adelaide (Dangerfield pending) etc

Of course it's speculation, you said it yourself, the only thing we know as fact is that AT has nominated you guys.
Speculation - "In the end, I reckon Treloar probably wanted to go to Richmond if given the choice, but Collingwood maybe just offered more money than we could"

(Apparent) Fact - "In the end, Treloar wanted to come to Richmond but at the last minute changed his mind because reasons"

As I'm reading my post, I realise I'm getting into semantics, but given the response to my initial post was exactly about that, I'd be remiss in not pointing this out.

Fair enough man, I'd still make an argument that you could still see it as speculation but who really cares, you seem to have a similar view on the whole thing as most of us anyway.

It would be great if we could have a thread with actual news or dare I say it strong mail on possible trades without the discussion so i don't have to read through the next 564931664 pages of crap that I most probably will before trade week actually begins. Can the mods do anything about this?

I wasn't suggesting we haven't offered more, I was asking if it had been confirmed on here that he would have chosen the Tigers if money wasnt the key factor.

Be that as it may, I now firmly believe the Tigers will have to match Collingwood's contract offer for Treloar to agree. This is logical based on the fact money seems to be a key factor in his decision, as you've indicated. You guys have now presented a good trade for GWS. It is now up to Collingwood to produce something better.

Why are you guys into Yarran, Bennell and Stevy J? You guys lost the contested possession by 33 on the weekend and those 3 players don't even know what a contested possession is. You should go hard at Jack Redden, Contested possession/tackling/clearance beast. Would fit the Tigers well I would have thought.

If Treloar came to Richmond on more money than any other player we have, I'd suggest that's fair. He'd be our best player. Next season could see him in the top 10 midfielders in the comp, potentially higher given greater exposure in Melbourne. Whether he goes to Richmond or Collingwood, that doesn't change. A consistently outstanding player isn't something you brush off. Good to be aggressive in chasing him.

We have our plans for a number of players and they'll fit in fine.

How do you know we aren't into Redden?

For **** sake I don't mind some pies posters but can we keep this thread for discussing Richmond? Use the treloar thread on the other board.
Blow it out your poo hole - this is "Trade and Free Agency Discussion" - Treloar is very much a part of that and how he relates to Richmond - Treloar news is the prime reason I come here.

Looks at which board we're on.... Oh yes, Richmond, not Collingwood. Poo hole? Really?
