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
Separate discussion, why do we seem to pay overs, and other clubs pay unders.

With Adam, I simply say, if we went to the draft and had the two picks and we got one like Treloar I'd be ecstatic. So it was worth it for me.

Easy to say you wouldn't swap him now but Curnow will be a better player. Treloar has been an underwhelming recruit
Its absurd that you say he is underwhelming because of his occasional bad kicking.

The kid has a elite pace, and this is a game breaking attribute that ALL teams are looking for.

To my recollection never once has a club matched a restricted free agency offer. Money won't be the main reason for Lynch returning to Melbourne, because GC could probably offer double $1.2million with Ablett leaving and the state of their list. Nobody is going to stop someone from wanting to return home. Look at what happened with Cam McCarthy.

We've had heaps high paid contracted stars leaving the club in recent years (e.g. Swan, Cloke). We should spend money when we have it. Lynch is a superstar. Yes $1.2million is a slightly inflated price when you compare it someone like a Dustin Martin or Dangerfield. But its all about demand-supply. Tbh idk if we'll even get him, every Victorian club will be vying for his signature.

Given the bad publicity regarding Harry O and some cultural insensitivities and Saad's muslim background, can you really blame him?
H accused Waleed (a Muslim) of White Supremacist behaviour...

If you actually believe anything H said you might as well quote facebook as Gospel.

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
That is not exactly right Seedsfan.

We overpaid because Mathews (GWS) and his brother Mathews (Tigers) agreed to trade him for two first round picks.
What they neglected to do is ask the player if he wanted to go to Richmond.

After that it gets messy and this isn't the thread to discuss as jmac stated before.

He isn't that damaging, whats the point in going for a gallop if you fluff the kick?

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
Thanks to you and The Great Swan's excellent knowledge I guess Seeds the paying overs for Treloar nonsense can be filed in the bin

What Richmond wanted to give up was irrelevant as he didn't want to go there. You can't trade someone to a club they don't want to play for

Krakour and McNamara back up some of what he said.

Anyways, probably not the forum for it.

I just hope we address our needs via draft or trade.

It is relevant because we were only going to give one first round pick for him.

The corrupt AFL made sure we overpaid..........remember Mathews was an AFL employee before going to GWS.
Do you think him making that deal with his brother was a conflict of interest?

It doesn't matter, do you understand how this all works? If the player doesn't agree to go there the trade can't be done. So Richmond offer two first round picks but Treloar says no I want to go to Collingwood that is off the table. GWS get an offer of from Collingwood for one first round pick they say no we want more so we folded like a deck of cards. If we dig our heals in they do the deal so they don't lose him for nothing

Like I said it isn't as clear cut as that. Plenty of dirty politics at play on this one.

I am out of the Treloar discussion mate....not the place or time.

By the way I think he is a jet. I don't use that word often for players.

Yeah and when we keep going nowhere? We had no need to pay that for Treloar it was a short sited move by the club
Mate you are a lone voice, either you're a genius and the rest of us have no idea or you are (a) taking the piss or (b) got no idea.
Twenty odd votes in the brownlow in his first year with us says he is a jet. Surely you're just sitting back and having a laugh at your ridiculous postings...please tell me so

I'd be surprised if that was Pies supporters, was a shabby opportunistic self promotion from a Neo Nazi group. Flogs.
Correct, they werent pies supporters, just casual Patriot Front wingnuts using our club for publicity.

Functionally maybe one step below Robbo.
