Why are all the media reporting that Treloar is sure to come to Collingwood ? Can anyone explain what connection he has to the club if any? Also the same question on Aish surly he would be more likely to go back to S.A

I think its more to do with the fact they have the cap space to get him. Have a young team with lots of upside but can provide him more of a staring role than GWS can with their loads of talent (and also more money and of course its Victoria). They are also highly pursuing him.
North probably isnt as good a fit, carlton essendon no way, dogs probably have enough mid talent they need to keep and are paying boyd. Richmond is the second best fit. Hawks wouldnt have the space for him and Geelong are going after Danger and Selwood.
Think he wants to come back to Vic. We also have Taylor Adams, not sure if they are friends but you'd think so. I've thought him coming to us was a lock a while ago and when I heard the new rules on draft picks, I'm even more confident he will be in the black and white next year.
Aish to Carlton has been a rumour for over a month now. Apparently he wants to go to a big club in the heart of AFL
I DONT WANT MORE MIDS BECAUSE WE HAVE ENOUGH OF THEM (Pendles, Swan, Sidey, Greenwood, Adams, Crisp, De Goey, Caff, Freeman, Karny etc) in saying that though, wouldn't say no to Treloar, but he's the wrong coop because we will pay overs for what we really need and that is a A GUN KEY POWER FORWARD and then I'll be happy

We don't have many treloar type midfielders though - being those that can actually kick well and hit targets. Adams, Greenwood, Swan all have average (too below avg) disposal.
Swan won't last forever though and Treloar is 22. From our list it would seem that our midfield isn't as deep as you think. Pendles, Swan, Adams, Crisp, De Goey and Caff should get a regular gig in the guts but that is only 6 people which isn't very many.
Freeman is quite a long way off I think and I am hoping he comes good but who knows. We can't reserve a midfielder spot for him incase he turns out to be a flop.
Karny is meant to be some sort of tall midfielder/forward but I'm not sure what his role would be in the team, guess we will see soon as I assume he will come in shortly after dominating the VFL this week.
Ben Kennedy is trade fodder or delist worthy unfortunately. He had a good second half on the weekend, but unfortunately, we just don't need him. Blair does the same things and he's a little more consistent.
If Seeds is indeed traded to Brisbane, that frees up a spot too. Our mids aren't actually that deep.
I agree on the key forward but with Cloke, Reid and Moore, I'm not so sure what the point would be. Where would be play Reid? Should we just trade him? We can't play him back now, did you see how good Marsh is?! We'd be forcing Marsh to another team if we did that. Goldy also would be questioning his worth to the team if we played Reid with Frost and Brown.
We have got quite a bunch of really good youth down back, I'm really happy how they are all learning and progressing as a unit. Getting an extra gun mid will add a huge amount to our team, especially if the forward delivery gets better because of this.
We have faz and Elliot who are both competent - yet confidence based small forwards so besides gathering experience and improving as a team, there isn't much to do in this trade period except for getting a gun mid.
Of course all this is my opinion, I could be way off!
^ you forgot Sidebottom

Treloar is better than all of them bar Pendles and would be your second best player on your team at age 22. who wouldnt want that. the only team that could afford to lose a treloar quality player is GWS.

^ you forgot Sidebottom
Good call. He can be used on the half back, forward flank or wing so he's versatile in our team. Adams sucks as a forward so he has to be a perma-mid.
Disagree that Treloar would be our second best player - I rate Sidebottom and Swan (at his current age) over him, albeit different players
What I'm really getting at is that you can have an unreal midfield, but unless there's a good team surrounding them and targets to kick too, they're useless!! Brisbane are the perfect example - Rocky, Beams, Redden, Rich, Hanley, Zorko, Christensen, Stef Martin is an unbelievable midfield but they're hopeless because their forward 6 just can't formulate enough goals! And this is exactly our problem at the moment, because our midfield and back 6 are doing a power of work but in recent weeks have been getting no reward from it. We've constantly had more inside 50's, CP's, tackles etc but Cloke has been useless, White is no good and Grundy/Witts isn't the third tall/ruck value that Hawthorn/NM get each week, Fas/Jamie/Blair have their games but are too stretched apart and Ben Reid is made out of something very very soft! I agree that Darcy Moore is the future and that Reid is a gun when playing but our window is in the next 4/5 years and as good as Treloar would be, I don't think he is the solution.
Jack Riewoldt is out of contract next year, so why not throw a 4/5 year multi million dollar deal at him? JRoo and Cloke with Reid/Frost/Brown down back looks better than Cloke/Reid and Frost/Brown/Goldsack (as our third defender)
Understand that Treloar would be a huge get as he will be a gun and you could argue that he already is, but I don't know about it..
Elliot, Cloke, Fasolo
Sidebottom, Reid, Blair
Crisp, Treloar, Adams
Langdon, Brown, Williams
Toovey, Frost, Goldsack
Grundy, Pendlebury, Swan
Insert 4 bench players
Edit: guess it does look like a much better team, hahahaha
Sorry Wato, JRoo contracted until end of 2019

What do you think gets each deal done?

Oh, I agree. But his attacking attributes could benefit a team who believe his attacking assets outweigh his defensive deficiencies or who have players that can cover Seedsman's defensive flaws.

Treloar is enough for me... wouldn't mind Aish but he'd be squeezing someone else out.
Treloar for first round pick this year and a second round pick next year + sweetener?
Aish for a first round pick next season + seeds or a second round pick next year will probably get it done.
Bennedy should be traded for a second rounder so that may ease some trading issues
Don't think Aish is worth it imo
Hasn't done enough to justify the (likely) high asking price

Ben Kennedy was drafted at #19 and certainly hasn't done anything to drop in value, surely? He's played well when given the opportunity, and would be a ready-made asset after his 25-odd games of AFL experience. Probably worth more than a mere 2nd-rounder in such a shallow draft? Could be used (similar to Crisp) to sweeten a deal with Brisbane or another club perhaps, but I can't see them offloading him for (effectively) nothing. He is also contracted until the end of 2016, having just recently signed an extension.
He's from SA originally, straight swap for Danger? 8)

He hasn't maintained his exact value so even if it was a little drop in value that pushes him in to the second round, which is what I was saying? He definitely has not played so well when given the chances, that's why he keeps getting dropped!! I would love to get rid of him now before he definitely drops in value, we don't need any more small mids/forwards so sell him while we can imo.
The problem I see with Bennedy is he hasn't been allowed to have any continuity with his chances so far - he's played near 50% of his games starting as the sub (limiting the impact he can have on games) and then is often dropped the week after because of this lack of ability to impact the game. I think give him a bit of continuity and you might be surprised at just what he could be able to do.
That being said, you guys have a lot of players like him, so he might be best to seek opportunity elsewhere. I'm a big fan so certainly hoping he does get a chance whether it be at Collingwood or at another team!

So first and second rounder and sweetener is a no go? I'm sure that's all we will trade man. Beams was worth roughly that and treloar is not that different, especially if he doesn't want to play at the club at all costs next year. Tbh I'd rather let him walk into the draft than offer overs... don't think others could afford to take him salary wise and also it's waste of a pick on someone who will walk when that 2 year contract is done. Pies and GWS have a pretty good trading history and I'm sure it'll get done easily though, just think GWS fans will be a little disappointed.

Why are they that different? Treloar is just being more tactful about it. He wants to come home to Vic and that's that. The club isn't going to hold him "hostage" there. Just like we didn't hold Beams "hostage". Beams wanted to go home - albeit wouldn't just come out and say it and made up excuses.

Yeah Seedy seems superfluous now given the depth of our run and carry defenders. May as well trade him and get some solid return - casually play an ANZAC day replay during the negotiations and Bob's your uncle!
Langdon, Ox, Marsh, Marley, Shaz and even Maynard are ahead of him seemingly at the moment.

Is there any point trying to get both Treloar + Aish?? We should just get Treloar then aim for a kkp such as Sam Reid, James stewart, Aaron Black (dont want him),

Most of GWS is still signed though.
I agree though, I'd go for a KPP rather than Aish.
Agree with both of you. Lets do Treloar as priority. Why do we need Aish? I would take him if we could get Treloar and Aish if we don't lose a decent player in the process but I can't see that happening.
Aish is another one who wouldn't necessarily improve our team. Depending on what we lose to get him though I guess. Shaz apparently might walk, though he's an SA boy I think.
If he's struggled to get a gig at Brisbane this year his value HAS dropped, contrary to the belief of the Lions management. If they held him back knowing that he'd walk it might be another story though.

Not really. Treloar would go at pick 1 if he was in the draft and the majority of clubs would give up picks 7 and 10 to get a number 1 draft pick. GWS offered picks 5 and 6 to St Kilda for the number one draft pick last year and the Giants got knocked back. Top end talent that has already gotten the showerty development years out the way is easily worth it.

Losing Treloar is big, but remember they have been in demand by older experienced players (Mumford, Shaw, Patfull, & Griffen) and they have young ACT-based talent (who are more promising than Treloar was in his junior years - not comparing them though because Treloar elite) coming through with Kennedy & Hopper and even more next season. Academy players will be more loyal and I see losing Treloar being bad in the short-term, but the Giants can easily replace him in the long-term (he's a gun, but at the end of the day midfielders grow on trees and the club has done well to secure the irreplaceable players - i.e. Jezza Cameron etc. - I think McCarthy is just immature and will stay at the Giants by the time his current contract is served as well).
I think in terms of their list in the long-term, they will be fine as long as Jeremy Cameron stays (and he's signed for like the next 7 years - at approx. $1mil per season as well..)

Nothing has to give. Pendles, Cloke and Swan are the only three on our list that I currently foresee demanding over $600-700k per year, with a lot of our players currently on the list earning anything from between $200-600k, with many at that base/mid value. If you take a good hard look at our list, you will see that we fail in comparison to many other teams in terms of having genuine 'superstars' that require the money to keep on the team, and that a lot of our players are talent in terms of youth which means minimal expenditure, or players who have come across from opposition teams such as Varcoe and Greenwood who would be on $300-500k per year as an example.
Take a look at Hawthorn and ask that question mate, because if you think for one second that Collingwood has to give something up for a star, a highlights reel and a current wannabe, you must be highly delusional.

What are Collingwood wanting this Trade Period?
In: Treloar, Aish, Howe
Out: Seeds, Freeman
How can all this fit in a salary cap?
Treloar & Howe will want a fair slab, and we know Aish is a little financially orientated, something has got to give?
Nothing has to give.

Would not think Collingwood's salary cap is squeezed - Blair would be one of the higher earners in the club and he would certainly be at less than $400k per season.
Add Beams leaving last season (Crisp, De Goey, & Moore combined would not cost 50% of what he would have been paid)
A young list in which the older players are not superstars. Varcoe would be one of their higher earners.
Salary cap would be the least of Collingwood's problems going into this off-season imo

New Pie Treloar is 'delusional', says Bartlett (http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-11-19/new-pie-treloar-is-delusional-says-bartlett)
I don't think KB should be calling anyone delusional without looking in the mirror first. I wonder how this guy actually has a job in the media?
Nobody listens to KB, as much as I love him.
He's only good at riling up Blues and Pies supporters who take him seriously.

I know he is full of crap, the sad thing is he is serious in his own delusional mind.
