Just a few things here:
1) Treloar has already been coached by Buckley as a kid. So he already has a good relationship with him. As a matter of fact, Buckley has coached a decent amount of the GWS list. It's a big part of how we also landed Adams when he was also linked to Geelong.
2) Adams is also pretty good mates with Treloar
3) Dan Richardson was at ESP before getting the gig at Richmond, Buckley is managed by ESP. Who do you reckon was most likely Nathan's rep? They would also have a good relationship. Buckley may not be the greatest coach ever but he's not an idiot and list building is something I reckon he's not bad at.
4) I'm aware this "being a good side" thing is pretty new to most of you, but as a big club with a big supporter base, you'll need to get used to being linked to nearly everyone and not getting any of them. Under Malthouse, it happened to us from 2000 to 2009. Under Buckley, we've landed just about every single player we've been seriously linked to, which suggests to me we're most likely going to land Treloar, Aish and Kreuzer. Not guaranteed of course, but recent history would suggest it's the case.
