Not sure if my memory is serving we well, but I swear Treloar plays similarly to Swanny (purely from a midfield perspective, disregard the goals).
Swanny used to be an amazing accumulator, like Treloar, but would often shank his kicks. I remember him winning a clearance and just bombing it anywhere, often straight to the opposition.
Swanny is universally loved, yet lots of Pies supporters hate Adz for his poor kicking. If we won the flag in 2018 would more people love Adz and be less critical?
Perhaps it's just the way we play now that hurts Adz, we're not like the Tigers with that manic playstyle, or how we used to play under Mick with constant pressure, we are very deliberate now, we have to work so hard for our goals.
Have I lost the plot or is my comparison fair? (maybe I'm just missing Swanny lol)
edit: just checked the stats, Swan used to kick a lot more than handball, so even though they were often rushed kicks from stoppages, he used it more by foot which is important.
Nobody hates Treloar. Not sure of your point.
However I do find it convenient that you have chosen to disregard goal kicking. This is one of Treloars greatest weaknesses, along with having no left foot.
I do agree that people don’t understand that inside mids will have high Clanger counts.
