You know, it wouldn't surprise me if Richmond knew they were a snowball's chance in a hell of landing Treloar.
When has there been such a high profile whinging about not being nominated? Richmond are chasing all sorts of players, if they want Treloar so badly as to create such a spectacle, surely they could just pony up the surplus funds? According to Richmond, that's the only reason we could land him anyway...
No, Richmond's board are making us a scapegoat for their on-field failure, which, judging from their fans, came as a massive shock. They were rabid yesterday, I've never seen fans melt so badly after a loss. Why else stir up such a fuss, if not to direct their ire at the hated Collingwood, and potentially away from the Richmond powers-that-be?
