List Management for 2020/21

[azabob]

The deal will only happen if Collingwood come to the party on the amount of his salary they will pay.

I can’t see Collingwood paying $150K each of the five years.

Still $750K each year is a lot of salary.

What if we win a flag inside 4 years?

Do you truly believe he will be the difference? I’m not so sure by bringing in Trelor we make the 8 or win a final.

What if we win a flag inside 4 years? How many chances do we get at securing a top line player now in his absolute prime?

I personally cannot remember any chances.

This.

We always complain that we can't attract elite talent. Well, now is the perfect chance to get one and.... we don't want to?



* Medical / sorting out his contract permitting.

Not really. But you're under selling him. He's a 100% blue chip mid.

Yeah he's too good to bypass if passed fit and keen to make the transition.

I’m not questioning his ability. I’m questioning his salary over five years.

You pay for what you get mate. And you said he doesn't make us better. Five years is shit but it comes back to my initial question. Want a better chance at a flag now?

[Danjul]

Forget about what we trade for Trelor my concern is his 5 year deal at $900K a year.

That seriously blows up our cap especially for not our most pressing need.

This has trouble in year 4 & 5 written all over it.

His recent history is not promising a good future.

He had 2 long absences this season, and when he did play his figures were down.

Too much risk, money better spent if it’s directed towards a long term need.

A 32 year old key defender?

[Happy Days]

I really think Treloar will be a gamebreaker on the wing. I kinda want us to get him just to see what it would look like.

Treloar is like a 4 year old Mercedes that has driven very well for the last 3.5 years but has recently shown signs of potential engine failure.

Buying it at top dollar would be a very risky decision.

[Danjul]

A 32 year old key defender?

I don’t understand the comment. Who’s 32?

Treloar missed a consecutive 9 weeks in 2018 and was ordinary when he came back.

Excellent 2019

Then 2 long absences in 2020.

He has missed the equivalent of a whole season in the last 3 years.

Don’t these injuries get more likely as the midfielder gets older?

We are interested but I wonder if it's really more about adding him or replacing Dunkley

Ideally we bring him in as well as retaining Dunkley. It will be intriguing to see if we have the capacity to do it

Sir, I understand that. I do. On the other hand though, it's only had two owners, the last was an old loud mouth gentleman, and it's done mainly Toorak KMs and touring. Plus my manager says if I sell it today, I can throw in a free cut and polish, 50% of next service voucher and new floor mats. So what do you say, let's do some paperwork!

Do we have the cap space to realistically do that and the ability to share mid minutes?

If it's yes to the first, the second part can surely only be answered by playing Bont forward. I actually wonder how bad Bont's hip(s) are and if playing forward would help, but that's another question for another thread.
