I wouldn't be so sure of that... I share a couple of mutual friends with Treloar and they say he's all about playing in a good, young, rising midfield. He can come into our midfield at a similar stage players like Adams and Crisp are at and be in the square with them across his whole career. I also truly believe that Pendles 'coaching' him a few years back has not been forgotten by Treloar. Having said that I'm sure the money helps sway his decision.
I just really hope the Pies don't mess this up and get a trade worked out. This guy is an absolute gun and I have no doubt in my mind he would be much more regarded if he played in Melbourne instead of stuck at GWS winning spoons all these years.
The GWS midfield smacks ours completely out of the park when it comes to good young rising midfield.

GWS BF posters reckon they don't need another ruckman.
Their CEO disagrees...
"Hopefully during this trade and draft period we'll be able to address an area that proved to be a little bit deficient in terms of a big-bodied ruckman to be able to fill the void when Mumford goes down."

HEY MAGPIE ARMY!
So they're basically signalling to Collingwood that Witts needs to be part of the Treloar trade. Which most of us assumed anyway. With the sub rule gone, 2 ruckmen will never happen again. So carrying Witts, Grandy AND Cox as true ruckmen alongside Moore, White and potentially Kreuzer as pinch hitters is just lunacy.
Yeah, it's cool to have depth in areas, but sometimes it can be to the detriment of your list overall. For example, we need WAY more depth at our book ends.

He did say "mature ruckman" but yeah, if they need back up for Mummy then Witts makes more sense than Minson. Will be sad to see him go but overall absolutely a fair price and someone we can afford to lose with the sub rule out and Cox emerging
Hopefully our first pick and Witts will do it. Then we can go hit up Aish for second round pick and Seedsman or Oxley. Treloar and Aish is a good trade period for us. We should be having a massive crack at Sam Reid IMO.
If Witts is definitely part of the deal, we either think Cox is good enough to be a backup or we know we will land Kruezer as a FA.
If we land Kruezer can we play him with Grundy in the same side? I'm assuming we would have to play him forward. How'd he go forward this year? Sorry, don't watch much Carlton.

The only reason Kreuzer is an above average player is his ability to act as another midfielder after the ruck contest.
I don't see how Grundy and Krezuer will be any more effective than Witts and Grundy. Vickery would be a much better fit, kicks twice as many goals as Kreuzer and his body isn't close to falling apart

That's the thing with these threads across BF - what supporters think and what the club knows are 2 vastly different things. We can throw 800 pages of trade scenarios around but unless you know the inside dealings of each club it's all speculative obviously.
I like the way they look at the Mumford situation - "When" Mummy goes down.
I'm sure we'll work a trade out.

HEY MAGPIE ARMY!
Save ourselves the effort and replace Seedsman with the inanimate carbon rod from the Simpsons. Would be more effective.

Got no doubt a deal will be done. When you commit to trading for a player you need to deliver. Treloar and his manager would have made sure we were prepared to offer a fair deal before committing to us. It will probably grind on for a bit longer than it needs to but that's the trade period.
If we don't secure Kreuzer it may also slow things down as Witts is not as expendable then. I hate talking about players like Witts as trade commodities but sadly that's what they are during trade period.

I agree with you the problem is we can use Witts to get Trelaor and replace him with Kreuzer at no cost at the trade table. Apart from the cash we have not gone backwards. Vickery is not available.
I like everyone am really worried about Kreuzer and his physical condition. The length of the contract is the issue for me.

Pretty much confirms Witts will be a part of the deal. No wonder we're so interested in Kreuzer.

Why does Picketts name keep coming up? Are we linked with him at all?
It's going to be a lot tougher finding a trade that suits GWS with just Treloar IMO let alone throwing in a player of Picketts quality. Can't see it happening
