    Re: Welcome to the Westernbulldogs Adam Treloar

    I'm just glad it's sorted and now Treloar can move forward with his life and be a a Western Bulldogs player.

    I'd love it if he got 35 touches, kicked 5 goals and won a Norm Smith in a Bulldog premiership team. Especially if it happened to be the year Collingwood are paying the highest amount of his wages over his contract.

    But I'm not really choosy. It can be any of the years he plays with us.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Great work from all involved, it’s not that long back we would have caved in to The Pies demands.
    For that matter it’s not that long back we wouldn’t have had the kahunas to have a crack at the trade period we have had.

    Now that all that is settled....How will the dogs use Treloar next season?

    How will this be different to his role at the Pies?

    Treloar could be good on the HBF - we are very thin there.

    Or Dunkley leaves us end 2021, claiming that Treloar was preferred to him in the ruck.

    They treated Treloar absolutely terribly in the trade period and I'm glad that we held firm on their bullshit.

    It was appalling. The things they said about him starting with blaming his wife, then comments around senior players don't want him, was just atrocious.

    WRONG - it's about time the narrative started favouring them again after the draft, I was getting worried their abhorrent behaviour might have affected them long term, but I'm getting a bit more comfortable about it now and you and your type just need to play along thanks very much.

    Eddie is an amazing president, having past players like Tony Shaw as your media acolytes/ spokes persons is a genuine winner as well.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    Yeah trading in heavily to a draft where on 50 guys were picked and where no one actually saw most of the players play for over a year is a great move and totally offsets trading out multiple best 22 players for nothing. Because AFL is all about being potentially good later instead of actually good now.

    Does that sound right?
    What I never understood is why it mattered what each club was doing - don't we have 3 million to structure over 5 years, and they have 1.5 million to structure over 5 years? They're separate contracts so why do we have to front end the contract at all?

    Couldn't we just pay our 600k per year, and if the Pies chose to pay 0, 0, 500k, 500k, 500k then that's their choice/problem?

    AT might have had a problem with that, esp if he has financial obligations that he needs to cover in the first few years of his new deal with us. Unfortunately in the real world, you can back end everything and hope it works out.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
