Welcome to the Westernbulldogs Adam Treloar

Re: Welcome to the Westernbulldogs Adam Treloar

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?

Clearly Collingwood needed some agreement from us to help them out of a big hole. Possibly they are at their limit for 2021 due to the Beams debacle, meaning we are probably funding the whole $900K next year, but getting some relief over the remainder.

It might even give us an extra $100K to massage into contracts for Bont/Baz/Dunks for the following years

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.

Why settle for that in only one of his years?

What would make it sweeter is us winning the next five flags and Collingwood being the runner up each time.

Sam Power doesn’t lose. Just doesn’t.

He wins at scrabble, monopoly and poker too. The man just can't lose.

Close enough

A bargain.

Re: Welcome to the Westernbulldogs Adam Treloar

For real it's still not done though. I think that pretty much everyone has honed in on this being pretty much entirely Collingwood's fault and doing, and as a very smart law person (PG if you're reading feel free to DM me) we're definitely in the right, but it's not not embarrasing for us.

Soon with more time on his hands hoping we see PG post on here more often.

Replace 'Biden' with 'Collingwood!'

How to become a billionaire!

Re: Welcome to the Westernbulldogs Adam Treloar

Interestingly The Age reporting Pies are paying 1 over 5, not 1.5.

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/adam-treloar-impasse-resolved-collingwood-to-contribute-for-five-years-20201211-p56mtl.html

One month after Adam Treloar was traded from Collingwood to the Western Bulldogs an agreement has been reached that will see close to $1 million of the midfielder's contract carried in the Magpies' salary cap over the next five years.

Industry sources said it is unclear exactly how the Magpies will distribute the money - which amounts to an average of about $200,000 per year

As long as we don’t pay anymore than 600k a year over 5, Collingwood can chop it up all they like.

It suggests we are paying 700 to me?

Unless Treloar is taking a slight pay cut ($600,000 & $200,000). If his manager stuffed up, there might be some fine details about fee waiving too, adding to Treloar’s bottom line which if 10% would get him to around $900,000. The article doesn’t say we are paying more, just that Collingwood is paying $200,000.

All the reporting this week has suggested the Bulldogs have held firm and won't be paying anything more than what we agreed to at the time of the trade.

The problem with this, is that we don't and won't really know.

Until player contracts are public we are required to assume that every club is treated fairly by the league administration.

Hard to expect trust when they continue to act secretly.

No disagreement from me. Transparency of contracts is long overdue.

Re: Welcome to the Westernbulldogs Adam Treloar

I suspect that the figures being mentioned are vastly closer to the 300K a season average than what the Age have reported but there has to be a fair chance we have conceded a bit otherwise there wouldn't have been any delays with getting the deal completed earlier.

It really doesn't matter now, Treloar will be playing with us, the Pies will be contributing a substantial amount and the challenge for the footy department is to come up with one of the strongest and productive midfield units in the competition.
