The Adam Treloar situation and the AFLPA

Seven years of Grundy staggering around may prove to be worse than Treloar.

I have a feeling ( could be because lunch time is nearing ) however in fact I’m certain of it , Pies are going to make a huge play for the King twins
 
What do you want them to say?

They could say

'We support Adam. He cant kick, he has exercised incredibly poor judgement on the public record and his wife doesnt want to live in the same state and his employer cant afford him any more'

?

How enticing they would be. "We'll give you seven years, backended. Nothing to worry about boys."

In terms of the workplace bullying notion Brodie's Law looms large in the AFL landscape.

I'm not sure if it literally applies to the AFL but any event reminiscent of the events around its inception would be a disaster for the AFL.

It doesn't have to be legal. A semblance of a Brodie situation and there is a PR disaster for the club. And the AFL.

Everybody is watching North Melbourne. Brodie's law.

And now Collingwood.

There were documentaries about Heritier Lamumba. And Adam Goodes. (Collingwood pretty prominent in them.)

Imagine next level documentaries.

Gillionaire McLachlan is brilliant in a hundred practical ways. If social judgement or even PR is one of them he must be all over this.

Collingwood ever since Peter Moore left for Melbourne have always had a phobia of losing quality player's to the opposition.
What happened to Grundy is not new for Collingwood.
They keep them till they start to rot.
This is the best in 2 or 3 years time, Grundy will be the new Treloar during the trade period

With all the going ons Treloar might end at The Cattery if Cameron deals falls through.
 
If hes free to good home, why wouldn't we grab him?

You dont need to be able to kick at richmond
 
This whole circus is freaking hilarious.

LOL at Treloar walking back to first day of pre season at the Holden Centre (is it still called that?) knowing the club and players hate his guts but he still collects his $900K!
 
Has it been confirmed the players hate his guts? I imagine Eddie & Bucks don't like him because he wouldn't leave quietly, but I'd be surprised if he was universally hated by his peers.

No. That came from a news report about a call Buckley had with Treloar (which Buckley refuted).....but determining who to believe out of Buckley or the media is no easy task.

I thought that was late clarified as some of the senior group accepted that Treloar leaving was the best thing for the team. i.e. relieving cap space so others could be signed.

But I tell you what, I'm not sure anyone expected this complete reversal so quickly from love and connected to *smile* off, you are just an under-performing tradable asset. I imagine plenty of Pies players would question what loyalty they had to the club and Uncle Bucks

Didn't take long for the real Bucks/Scum culture to push its way through. It's great to watch.

Im emotional.
Us winning flags while they dig themselves out of the *smile* they're in. Its what dreams are made of.
I hope Treloar, Cox and TAB all are forced to stay and then Degoey signs a 1 yr deal and we pick him next year when Riewodlt retires
