Welcome to the Westernbulldogs Adam Treloar

Re: Welcome to the Westernbulldogs Adam Treloar

He's a great character with integrity, unfortunately he hasn't been treated as such in recent weeks.

I thought his interview was fantastic and I love that he's so open and honest. He can be both upset/disappointed by what transpired at Collingwood and excited for his future with us, and I think the interview really shows both sides of that.

Either a bloody good actor or you're absolutely spot on.

Super interview. Thought he came across as very honest, open and passionate. Hope he comes to love our club as much as he did Collingwood.

Seems like a ripping guy. He’ll put his 100% into his time at the dogs and send the pill down to Nauuuughton with outrageous regularity.

Getting excited for next season already.

i never use to think much of Adam, as he played for the Pies. After watching this interview on AFL360, I really felt for the guy.

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 are bitter that they over paid for a player and trying to find terrible excuses, and it cost them 2 first round picks . now they have a salary cap problem, with some of their young players going to demand more money like Moore, Daicos and Brown when they start to dominate

If they had won the premiership I guess that 900k p.a may be treated something differently. I kinda find it ironic that we paid Boyd more and they media were scathing about it.Not surprised by the double standards

Welcome to the club Adam . Play your heart out for us and we will always love you as a player

I look forward to your first game especially when you smash the pies

Travis cloak could share the sentiment and eagerly watch your first game. I still remember his first goal for us against the Pies .

I still reckon Travis was a good pickup and if the thug Ziebel had not broken his ribs we would have gotten a good 2 years out of him

We now have another A grade midfielder. The opposition are going To be scared how they going to compete with : Bonts, Macrae, Libba, smith , no more Rucking dunks, and hunter . If Lipinksi and Vandermeer step up its going to be very exciting. And all being fed by Martin and English

Re: Welcome to the Westernbulldogs Adam Treloar

I heard his SEN interview and it was about winning , he is driven to win , his mention of our midfield also are a midfield he sees winning a flag, which seems part of the reason he came to us.
Love the thought that top tier opposition players rank our midfield as one of the best , I think that is a huge statement because it comes from players not the media or supporters.

Re: Welcome to the Westernbulldogs Adam Treloar

Hey Macca-totally agree about Travis Cloke. I think he a heap to offer and showed it in the little time he had with us before that thug from North did the despicable.

It is clear Adam will do his utmost and our club are welcoming him with open arms. Love the fact he is so honest - disarmingly so in this age of cliched and empty responses to media questions- not that most of the media deserve reasoned answers seeing as most of them are drivel. Although we supporters deserve better from media which in turn would lead to more in depth answers.

Re: Welcome to the Westernbulldogs Adam Treloar

I think we must have gotten into Treloar's ear early and sold the vision so it become us or the Pies.

Power was interviewed on Trade Radio last week and was very effusive in his praise of AT which might have been a hint at what was going on behind the scenes.

I think it's a bit more than that, we are a very 'family' orientated club where the coach puts a huge emphasis on relationships and feelings with players, not JUST training. Knowing Treloars history, we needs a coach that can be that 'nice guy' 'pat on the back' 'father' type as opposed to a stiff-upper lip type (yes, Collingwood, looking at you).

I feel we'll see the best of Treloar in years to come, because of the environment change and incredibly positive coaching style.

This will sting a bit for Pies fans getting one for Christmas.

That's just crying out for someone who has much better Photoshop skills than me to put a tricolour on Adam. The splash of colour would look great among all that black and white.

I still don't understand (or can believe) that pretty much the entire footy world just shrugged it's shoulders over that and said "oh well fair enough, geez Ziebull's a good bloke."

FFS what part of him breaking a blokes ribs from behind did they not see? I came as closed to walking away from the game over that as I ever had. Just a despicable thing to do. And Ziebull got 2 weeks, was it? Should have been the rest of the year.

Possibly a knife in the back from Pendles?

Re: Welcome to the Westernbulldogs Adam Treloar

I have had a few days to process this trade and I'm pumped to have Treloar added to our midfield mix.
He will help add some much needed pace to our mix.

We now have two burst players in Smith and Treloar who love to attack the goals.

The other great thing is when Treloar gets the ball he doesn't go sideways, backwards - only forward! We certainly need more of that in our team especially forward of the centre. Only really Bontempelli and Smith have this trait.

I heard Rob Harding speak on SEN yesterday and he said dogs now have a real ability to play a midfield mix of 7 players rotating through the middle and forward similar to what we had in 2016 which gave us a real competitive advantage.

Exciting times.

And Sidebottom with no shirt on?
