Adam Treloar was a popular pick in preseason to be a bounceback candidate following a bad hamstring injury in the middle of 2020, having been the most high-profile victim of Collingwood's list management disaster with a trade to the Bulldogs. He was shifted from the guts to a wing to accommodate the Bullies' already-stacked engine room and delivered two very poor scores in the first two rounds, albeit that can be ascribed to cobwebs. An ankle injury in midseason has further depressed his scoring, making him a bounceback chance all over again.

An ankle injury in midseason has further depressed his scoring, making him a bounceback chance all over again.
Adam Treloar has served his suspension for breaching COVID protocols and returned last week to produce at just the same sort of levels that fantasy coaches hope out of him. With Scott Pendlebury out of the side he is the most experienced Magpie mid in the team at the moment, and despite a tag from Reece Conca he saluted with 25 possessions and two goals to top the team scoring in that game against Freo. Josh Daicos may have taken over some of his responsibilities during his absence, but there is no question he is the best pure fantasy player at Collingwood.
Treloar is a rowing machine
Two words: ball magnet. At 33 touches per game, Adam Treloar lead the league in disposals on his way to a career-best fantasy output of 114. He has now strung together six consecutive 100+ fantasy point seasons, and four over 105. Playing every game, Treloar was one of the most reliable fantasy midfielders. Treloar sees a tagger on the rare occasion, although most attention goes to the better ball users in Steele Sidebottom and Scott Pendlebury. This gut runner is going to deliver another 100+ year so don't hesitate to draft him early on, with added value due to durability.
Adam Treloar has been an exemplary player for fantasy purposes this year, but now that the finals have reached the pointy end, he is going to get a lot more attention than he gets on average during home & away action. Specifically, he is likely to be the main target for the attentions of Matt de Boer, and he has shown in the past that he is susceptible to a tag. The punditry seems to think this game is a foregone conclusion with the Giants' big outs, but maybe the key to shutting down Collingwood is sitting on Treloar.
Adam Treloar is the forgotten man at Collingwood in a midfield full of big names, similar to how Mitch Duncan often escapes the limelight directed towards higher-profile teammates at Geelong. Perhaps it's because his game is more on the outside, though as with Duncan he has had to adapt to the more contested style required of midfielders in the modern game. Fantasy coaches certainly know who he is, and along with Duncan he provides an interesting option for a point of difference with a shot at making top 8 mids by season's end.
Adam Treloar has started slowly for the second year in a row, again through injury though last year it was also somewhat role-related. The chatter about him this year is how he fits into the star-studded Collingwood midfield that now has added Dayne Beams to the mix. His four scores so far this year have been up and down, giving his fantasy owners ulcers as they try to gauge his short-term and long-term worth. He built more consistent form towards the back end of 2018, and we may have to wait again for that trend to emerge.
Adam Treloar disappointed his owners last season with a double hamstring tear that ruined was was shaping up to be quite a promising season of premium level fantasy scoring. His numbers took a while to get back to their previous highs, meaning his trailing average doesn't quite reflect his ceiling. Assuming that such disaster doesn't strike twice in 2019, he should reward an early-round pick in draft leagues and has a little bit of upside for salary cap competitions.
Treloar is la-di-da
Adam Treloar’s 2018 campaign was flawless until he suffered a nasty double-hamstring tear in round 14 against Carlton, one of which required surgery. Prior to that, he was in red-hot form and was delivering top echelon scores for a fifth consecutive season. While he returned in time for Collingwood’s finals campaign his numbers did take a small dip, which is understandable given that Nathan Buckley was eager to get his star line-breaker back on the park. With a strong preseason under his belt, Treloar will be able to put his injuries behind him and will have no problem replicating the high quality output we’ve come to expect. Opposition coaches will be scratching their heads deciding which elite Collingwood midfielder to tag, with Steele Sidebottom usually copping it in the past. Treloar will escape the tag on the majority of occasions and will be, again, a reliable and high-scoring selection. Take him in early rounds.
Treloar roars away
Collingwood's worst game of 2017 was the round 16 loss to the Bombers, and it wasn't Adam Treloar's only blip all season. He also had a quiet post-Anzac day run and eventually missed a week with an ankle problem. Other than that, despite much media speculation about his kicking efficiency and susceptibility to a tag, he was usually reliable for 30 touches a week and plenty of tackles. Treloar doesn't spread much for marks, but he doesn't need to as his bread and butter is extraction and jetting away from packs with ball in hand. The fact that he runs so fast that his foot often strikes the ball skew-whiff doesn't matter for his fantasy owners in standard scoring leagues. He should do much the same again in 2018.
