Just because the club does a bad job doesn't mean you jump off them. We over paid to get him, like we paid more than Geelong did for Danger. More than Brisbane paid for Beams. Treloar wasn't/isn't worth more than those blokes
Dangerfield was actually a free agent in that year. He could of walked to Geelong via free agency and Adelaide would of barely got anything. I think Dangerfield did Adelaide a favor by requesting a trade instead of exercising free agency. Obviously Adelaide couldn't play hardball and demand two first rounders cause he could just walk away for free. That's why Geelong got Dangerfield cheap.

With Beams, just about every young player that was actually good was leaving Brisbane. So when a elite midfielder with great leadership attributes wants to come to your club, your going to pay premium. Brisbane were desperate to get him.

Treloar is a absolute jet. Hasn't even hit his peak yet. One of the best midfielders in the game. We paid a fair price.

The fact he was a RFA isn't valid as Adelaide had told the Cats they would match any deal so after that his status was no different to the out of contract Treloar
That was a mutually accepted areangent to ensure Adelaide got something better than afl endorsed compensation. But it was still less than market.

Crows knew when they matched the deal that he was going to Geelong

What about Tomlinson from GWS? He can play KP at both ends. Would seem to be a good fit now that we are out of the running (or were not that into) Saad and Smith. Has anybody heard anything about Tomlinson this week?

He had a very lean year in 2017 but still managed to kick 44 goals in 19 games, which is more than any of our forwards this year. If we pick him up as a free agent next year how is that costing the world if we have money to spend? Won't buy us a flag but will certainly get us closer. Lynch is exactly the player we need.
He is a free agent but GC will match meaning that we then have to trade for him. It will take our first pick and plenty more.

We will have to pay him 1.2 million a year thereafter and he's not that good. That's money that could be spent elsewhere.

We overcapitalised in Treloar and it will hurt us in the long run. It's easy to say it's a good thing now because he has given more than a first and second year player
Nah i asked wats something the clubs done like ever thats ok

Big call Kirby on him being not that good.

Just like GWS knew Treloar was going to Collingwood. We had a pre made welcome to Collingwood video for him. GWS knew we would pay overs if they held out for more so we did. The RFA has no bearing on the outcome, Adelaide accepted they wouldn't get more out of Geelong so they did the deal while we got bent over
