If Adam Treloar's best asset is that he can have a ping from outside 50 then let's just sign up Suckling for another 5 years on 900k

Key difference being that Treloar is more than just a left boot.
 
I think we can renegotiate with Treloar if he chooses us, seems like it’s at the stage where he just wants to be happy where he’s playing his footy. The blokes been one of the highest paid players at his clubs since very early on in his career and is a likeable dude who will probably have media jobs thrown at him after footy. Not the end of the world if he’s only getting 600k odd a year for his last 4 years after a big payday in year 1 which Pies chip in for.

Letting the pies off very lightly there. They owe him. It’s a short career and he sacrificed his wages to help them.
 
This could be one of those sliding door moments with Dunks playing in a midfield at Essington without McCrae, Bont and Smith, while we have Treloar ripping it out of the midfield getting it quickly to our forward line of JUH, Bruce and Naughts.
 
Straight swap Bruce and Schache for Treloar. If they want us to fix their fu** up then they need to fix our too.
Bruce will come good. A full summer fitness programme and proper preseason will get him firing again. Strip some muscle, drop 5-10kgs and we've suddenly got a key forward with some mobility. His accuracy is another situation altogether, but he's a confidence player and he currently has none of that. I'm backing him in.

I’m sure they over paid him when he crossed over as a 22yo. Make them pay a large portion of his contract next year then we take the rest. He gets a big payday next year and then 4 more years as a highly paid player. He gets to stay in Melb and play finals.

I find this to be incredibly wishful thinking. I think we'll see similar output from Bruce next year as we did this year, if not worse. His best footy is well behind him. Saints offloaded him just at the right time. Better to pay him out and just play Jamarra and Naughton now with English spending time in the forward line when BDSM is rucking.

His back is f’ed. We didn't do our due diligence when we recruited him. Chuck him on the scrap heap and move on.
I’m assuming you’ve fact checked this and you’re not just talking shit? Find it very hard to believe we didn’t put him through a rigorous medical.

He will be away from the resort buffet though 😋
 
Reckon if we get Treloar to publicly nominate us we could absolutely screw Collingwood with the way they’ve handled this. It’s now widely acknowledged he can’t go back there. Tell them he’ll sit out next year and collect his pay check from Queensland with his wife if he doesn’t get to the Dogs

We really are in the best position for both the Dunkley and Treloar trades. I hope we take full advantage.

People always say this shit but I don’t think Pies are paying him shit if he ****s off to Queensland 😂 agree with the overall sentiment though, he should be a bargain with the way they’ve played this.
 
It would want to be a lot of chipping in, preferably in 2022 as well. How much football do we think he'll play as a 32 year old? We'll be carrying the can in a few years' time

What makes you say that Geelong are about to get a 34 year old midfielder in Shaun Higgins ? I don’t think 32 is that bad.

At $900k?
