The Adam Treloar situation and the AFLPA

Massive sook
Looks like the kid that always lagged on his mates at school.
He just can't shut his mouth.
Collingwood pissed him off because they have someone booked in for next October.

Well that would be pretty poor on Dunkley's part, having years to run on a contract.

From what I've read he was unhappy with the culture and looking for more opportunity to play midfield. Still stuck in the cunlture and now with less opprtunity a/c Treloar coming in.

Might be a good pickup for Tigers next year.

Didn't he train with us for a period before eventually getting drafted by the Dawgs? Have a vague memory of this

The Bulldogs will be a serious threat next year, now that they’ve got a better list than us.

Heard an interview he did with SEN this afternoon. Dunno what it is with that kid but every second word was "love". The only way someone can love as many people and things and situations and hypothetical as Treloar is if someone bathes in MDMA every morning.

I'm trying to think of one but I can't ever remember a contract being influenced by personal relationships of any kind to be honest.

Just as well for us because if someone sat in a Punt Road office and said "I dunno about this long term deal for Dustin, he's pretty close to his old man who is stuck in New Zealand, might not play his best footy because of that," then we might be a bit less happy right now.

This whole argument is cart before horse stuff to me though. It is pure speculation as to what his footy will look like until it happens.

I think it is a very slippery slope to start to use an employee's family life to make predictions about their capacity to do their job.

It's all about risk TBR. There appears to have been a lot of elements to it not just his family life which seems to have taken all the focus. The Pies have handled it poorly but it may be the best decision for the club.

I think it is a little nieve to think all sorts of factors aren't considered with contracts, including someone's personal circumstances. They weighed it all up and decided to move him on.

We have stuffed them, along with GWS and Adelaide. They are another club that just couldn't accept that we were better than them. Geelong will be the next one added to this list.

They beat us in 2018 didn't they?

I recall hearing something about Treloar changing his mind to Pies from Tigers as Eddie gave his Girlfriend a job. Wonder if the job included Netball at Collingwood ?

I assume the Netball Team have a Salary Cap, wonder if this should be included in Collingwoods AFL Cap space if Treloars Partner was getting overs or additional promo work...

Lurks the girlfriend your talking about isn't the Netballer, she is his 2nd girlfriend while at the pies.
The one that got a job thanks to Collingwood isn't with him.20201116_165013.jpg20201116_165003.jpg

He actually wanted to come to us, if he couldn't go to Sydney iirc. We couldn't promise him that, as we didn't think he was worth our first pick, and didn't think he'd be there at our second.

Wonder how that turned out in hindsight.
 
Treloar falls in love very easily.


Treloar’s decision to pursue a move to the Dogs was down to the positive talks he held with Beveridge who centred the conversation around his family.

“I chose to meet with the Bulldogs and I fell in love straight away after chatting with Bevo (Luke Beveridge) and Sam Power (list manager),” Treloar told SEN Drive.

“I loved hearing that from Bevo."
