One is a premiership player and one is not.

Who would have thought with that amazing list that this still true 3 premiers later

 

[Phar Ace]

Treloar is a better player but can’t be unhappy with Dion which also got us Caddy

Good call. Dion has been amazing with that knee. Always happy we got him, was absolute class in one good season at GC, was probably going to become a Brownlow Medalist I thought early on - so getting him, even with an injury was a worthwhile risk and this has proved so.

Dion brings teammates/players into the game better than Treloar. Look at what Treloar does to Adams game - it goes downhill - that's what I'm talking about. That's player value.

The Title should actually be
Prestia & Rioli v Trelol

 

[Disco_Stu]

Is the question Prestia or Treloar?

Hmm.

I'll take the dual premiership player, thanks.

Is that a euphemism?

Should be but there’s no need with such a clear win

 

[Soberian Tiger]

The only three early GC players I wanted to see at Richmond were Prestia, Lynch and O'Meara. Not Gaz Jr. He would have cost too much.

Got Jaeger wrong though. Should have been Caddy.

As for Treloar, was more than happy to see Prestia at Punt Rd instead. Always rated Dion.

Honest question
Has Treloar won a B&F?

 

[Tony Harrison]

Honest question
Has Treloar won a B&F?

Negative.
Not at the pies or giants.
Maybe in juniors

 

[Marcel Proust]

prestia will smash it next week i reckonb

 

[tigs2010]

Honest question
Has Treloar won a B&F?

Not sure.

100% he hasn’t won one in a premiership year though. That much is obvious

Tiger brothers.

You have got it all wrong.
Trelor should be put on a pedestal by us...not laughed at and put down.
He gave the Richmond Tigers team and it's members one of the greatest motivational speeches of our time.
Think about it, he said it in 2015 and it still effecting us in 2020.

I for one applaud him...thanks Adam for helping return the fire to our belly, and those 2 Grand Finals....plus the chance to get a third one.

Think that settles it unless Treloar wins one in a premiership year.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Most neutral fans would I’d imagine rate Treloar the better player but personally I think he’s overrated due to poor disposal skills.

Dion flies under the radar a bit because he’s not flashy, your meat and 3 vege type (or the Italian equivalent). But his low centre of gravity and clean hands make him a great clearance player and perfect partner for Dusty, Shedda and Bolton in the guts.

Ohhh and Meatball is a great guy while Treloar is a total flog

 

[chriso11]

Prestia’s a “Richmond man”
treloar is not
simple as that

 

[French Tiger]

I watched a bit of Dion at the Suns , then especially once I heard we were a chance to get him.
He actually got more of the ball at the Suns , we obviously don’t play a high possession style of game so obviously that would affect his numbers !
At the Suns he would rack up possessions at will constantly having 30 plus games.
Great pickup for us & 2 time premiership player & b&f in a premiership year. Absolute gun!
Treloar also a bloody good player who I would have loved at the Tiges also

 

[Tackle Bag]

I’ve had the opportunity to meet and spend time with Treloar socially a few times in recent years.
He’s a good fella. Those close to him speak very highly of him.

He’s also a very good footballer who does a lot well. Needs to tidy up his disposal a bit. Our game style of Faster ball movement and getting it forward may have even suited him And his disposal better than the way The pies play.

I’m certainly happy with how things played out for us though. Prestia has been a ripper and the flow on effect proved to be a big win for us with Rioli, Caddy etc as many have said.

There are whispers around that the pies wouldn’t be against trading him. Imagine this board if he landed here.

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

I gained a bit of respect for Treloar when he wrote about the struggles he had growing up (not flushed with cash) never really even had his own bedroom, slept in the hallway a lot. He spoke about his anxiety as well, something thst I know from personal experience, is debilitating and simply awful to live with. He acknowledged he used poor words when he described our lists as well, respects us etc.

Should let sleeping dogs lie now, especially with so much *ing hate in this world, life's too short for all that bullshit. Good luck to the young fella for the rest of his career.

 

[Soberian Tiger]

Treloar is more of a pantomime villian than a real one to be honest, a role which he sees to have taken rather well.
