A fair few weeks ago he was coming to richmond also he doesn't sound like a reliable lad.
My guy told me Richmond was his preference, but he did want to do the best for the Giants.

Maybe he knew you guys would offer 2 first rounders and a player? Who knows.

I've always been fairly certain he'd end up at ME Bank Centre next year.

Nothing has really swayed me from that - yet.

I deleted post but the vid will be re-posted on the Collingwood board for lols. without suggestions of you know what. :D
No worries, we're reasonable but we're not stupid

I'll remind all opposition supporters that we can and will use other comments to determine whether the intent behind posting is to troll

I had heard the same, and that it's his manager pushing for the Pies, given they are offering the most coin.

Madagascar I'll give you one chance to remove your latest suggestion from the Collingwood board as it can easily be used to construe what you've said in here as trolling
Don't know what it was but can you just ban him from here anyway
Happy with opposition supporters usually, except for those from Pies, Blues, Bombers, Hawks & Norf.... maybe I'm not happy with opposition supporters

So by what i have heard our offer is heaps more then what the wobbles are offering so why has he chosen them? All i can gather something doesn't ring right with everyone by passing other teams to go to collingwood then again they have a crafty president and wouldn't be surprised what goes under the table.

The contract is still there waitin for him if he does change his mind, but I think that ships passed.

It is all about $ for him.
now if i was 23 or 24 year old like trelor is and knew i was a gun footballer and knew i had heaps of upside to my game this is what i would do. I would take an offer of 700 k x 2 years, back myself in for that contract time to become an all Australian, win club B & F , and try to become a gun that can change a game on its head .

At the end of my 2 year contract i would then go for the long term deal 5-6 years and push my price up to the 1 mill a year mark as long as i have the runs on the board of course , instead of taking unders now as a whole for 6 years at 700k .

agree here, for him to bypass us despite the best trade offer doesn't sound right & considering GWS need picks to get thier Academy Player's they'd need to be accepting the best offer....

It Witts is worth that or has been offered, then I guess if he doesn't want to go to GWS there'll be other clubs keen.
I'm doubting your sources though, starting to think someone's taking the piss out of you.
He got confused that's all thought the other guy meant treloar was offered crap to stay at gws instead of witts been offered crap.

Treloar was offered $600k. I thought you said GWS offered Treloar shit money. DrMike cleared it up for me.

And if anyone is offering Witts $600K I've got an Ostrich farm I'm selling I want to talk to them about.

Really? Serious question. I've been on the Collingwood board asking questions about Treloar myself because I've never really seen or noticed enough of him to know whether he's worth what we're oging ot have to give up to get him, but Richmond's best player?

Honestly? That's...a fairly substantial call.
He'd make Cotchin and Martin better players by lifting the midfield but I should go back and say he'd be our best midfielder. Rance is probably the best player. Have long said Treloar can win a Brownlow. He's so consistent, tackle numbers are generally good when he gets shut down disposals-wise as well. I've watched a fair bit of him, he has that look about him that if he keeps playing the way he is, he can become super elite imo.

2 Years is a long time in footy what if he breaks down and at the end of his 2 years he is worth nothing? Why do you think most players want longer contracts to sign up? They take the fear of breakdown factor into consideration. I he did what you say well im sorry to say but he would be ill advised.

I seriously don't care about our pay structure now. We are in a position to land a player of absolute quality to give us that little bit extra. Treloar is that player. I think Bennell should be our fall back, but Treloar needs to be brought into the club. We need another inside mid as Cotch can get shut down pretty easy, and when it is only Miles getting the hard ball (like Sunday), our outside runners (who are reliant on receiving the ball), don't get the delivery they would like.

Pay Treloar $800,000. If he provides us with another inside mid who can also be a link up player, he is worth it.

Cash. An extra $500,000 over the term of the contract.

well manager then would get more commission for himself pushing to the pies if there offer is higher.
Just like dustys manager shopping him around for extra coin then came back crying. This is a corporate world and don't believe what your hear the things that go under ground would astound you. You only have to look at us a few years back buying players houses so on to sign them up hush hush.

Just know you're not actually guaranteed treloar like you think you are if he comes to richmond Collingwood are going to feel stupid counting there eggs before they hatch
How is this even relevant to what i posted..?

I've not been here spruiking Treloar is a Pie!?

It's likely he finds his way to us, but in any negotiation there's always a chance it can turn pear shaped.

You're having a go at the wrong person my friend.

Rumours richmond are offering 2 first rounders and a player sounds like more then Collingwood
