In the 2018 GF he had 26 touches and 11 tackles. The kid can play.
Hopefully he wins a Norm Smith to go with the premiership medallion that he will win with us.

We’ve been lucky to have it fall in our lap, but it’s a great get
From memory Carlton were trying to get him to sign as well. We paid Swan Districts (pretty sure he came from them) a transfer fee of $120 000 to get Beazer. The money clubs payed for players back then was just plain stupid.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Just need to make sure he plays 100 games now - that boy has the right genes!

Re: Welcome to the Westernbulldogs Adam Treloar
Collingwood have really stuffed up haven't they:
Collingwood Magpies blame trade debacle on Adam Treloar's fiancee Kim Ravaillion
Nothing to do with a 5 year contract at $900k

The Pies just weren't seeing 900k worth of value with Adam given his situation and there was no way he was going to renegotiate his contract. I'm sure they would have loved him at 600k. They've just really handled the situation poorly.

Re: Welcome to the Westernbulldogs Adam Treloar
He's just said Buckley told him senior players wanted him out. What went on in the hub? Bucks not coming out of this well at all.

Re: Welcome to the Westernbulldogs Adam Treloar
They were adamant on moving me on': Treloar reflects on his efforts to stay at Collingwood
Adam Treloar says Collingwood believed he could not play his best footy while his partner Kim Ravaillion and their child lived in Queensland, and therefore he was traded from the Magpies to the Western Bulldogs.
Treloar also said that he was told by coach Nathan Buckley that some senior players did not want him to remain at the club, contrary to public testimony from the coach following such reports.
The midfielder, in his first interview as a Bulldogs player on Friday, also said he thought senior players never actually said such things, and that this might have been made up by the Pies.
“It is what you read,” Treloar said when asked about the reported chat with Buckley.
“That was told to me in no uncertain way and that did hurt, because I know how close I am with the players. To be told that, when I don’t think that’s the truth, and to be told that there’s some players that don’t want you there when I know the majority of the players love me and care for me, that did hurt a bit.
“But they were adamant on moving me on so no matter how they were going to go about it, it was going to happen. It was a fight up until the end, because I wanted to be at Collingwood.”
Treloar added a move to Queensland with Ravaillion - who will play netball with the Queensland Firebirds - was never on the cards.
"I never considered playing footy in Queensland," Treloar said. "It was never a reality for me.
"It was more the family side of things [discussed with Buckley] and whether or not they could see me playing elite sport being away from my family. I well and truly believe I can.
"They were adamant they had to move me on. Although I disagree, I'm here now.
"I don't think that [salary cap problems and my big contract] from what I have been told I don't think that was their main reason."
Treloar said he was not bitter at the club - because some of his best friends remain at the club - or Buckley.
