It looks very clear to me that the Skunks are looking for some club, any club to take him off their hands to also off-load as much of his contracted salary as possible. So it will NOT be them paying all of it. In fact, clearly in their interests to honour as little of that sum as they possibly get away with ... just need another desperate, gullible club to take the bait i.e. thinking that recruiting Tredders will bring that elusive and lucrative premiership flag. It hasn't worked for CFC, of course.

The Adam Treloar situation and the AFLPA
- Thread starter Streak
- Start date
Despite a contact, every single year clubs want to move on players. Treloar isn’t the first and won’t be the last contacted player a club wants to move on.
The reasons it’s such a hot topic is because no one expected it, he’s such a well known player and Collingwood are such a big club.
Unless they stopped paying him there’s no reason for the AFLPA to get involved.

I am a little, I don't agree with you most of the time either.
AFLPA: 'Hey Collingwood, stop shopping Adam, that's bullying and the media are writing mean stories hurting his feelings.'
Collingwood: 'we're not that happy with the stories either. Perhaps tell Adam's camp to stop leaking them'
AFLPA: 'Hey Doggies, let Dunkley out of his contract. He doesn't like playing in different positions and has a right to be happy.'
Doggies: 'Is that you Liam?'
Not to mention what stress is being placed on their marriage. Imagine how his wife must be feeling now. I really doubt that she was intending to put his highly rewarding (with finally accessing big $$ backend deal) and secure (to '25) contract into jeopardy because the Skunks have tried to lever him out by claiming that he cannot possibly play up to his best with her accepting the Brisbane netball contract. So moving there with bub.Agree
Treloar has been treated disgracefully by the Filth, he has twice had his contract backended so that they could get Dayne Beams and Daniel Wells, and now when he's due tp get $900,000 next season the Filth want to flick him
Grundy should be very nervous about his contract.
Awful manipulation and divisive pressure being imposed along with phone calls and whatever else is happening behind the scenes. Looks like victimisation to me. Now allegedly on media that Treloar is resigned to not being there in '21.
Sure, you'd think his manager and their legals would be a buffer, but if ever there were grounds for AFLPA to be coming in to bat for a member ...
Absolutely they are. Suns were allegedly willing but Adam didn't want to go - fair enough - and they've pulled the offer. Collingwinge are left holding the baby and losing the PR too. Might make other players less likely to go there in immediate future also. Still got nothing to do with the AFLPA.
Yeah. Contracts can always be renegotiated, as long as both parties agree. Can be broken if both parties agree. Becomes more complex in a salary capped AFL with capped lists as well of course. So Collingwood got some benefit from the backended Treloar contract at the time - but now they will likely lose him and still have a big chunk of salary in their cap which limits them now.. so there is always a cost.
Sad that it it's all got so nasty now though
LOL
Some good points, though I'm not sure Ben Brown is a good example, he knocked back a 3 year deal early in the season rumoured to be worth $750,000 over 3 years.
I could be well wrong but I have a feeling there is plenty that's not being said re this Treloar situation for a reason by the Pies & that's predominantly to protect Treloar's reputation.
Fair enough.
I'd be disappointed if the RFC treated one of our players the way Collingwood are treating Treloar.
None of us know the real story cept Adam & his club! How can anyone make that assessment?
That's true, only they known the finer details.
Make what assessment?
Treloar has publicly said that he backhanded his contract to help get Wells and Beams to the club, and that he wants to stay with Collingwood. I can only take him at his word.
That the Pies are treating him badly. So far we've only heard from one of the parties involved.
Find it highly intriguing that the Pies are looking to move on a seemingly quality player with 5 years left on a contract...
I assume they are trying to shop him around because they are said to owe him 900k a season from next year, and they have made a hash of player contracts.
So what do Collingwood get out of it if they trade him but have to contribute healthily to his salary. Let’s say he’s on $900k and they trade him and contribute $300k. Ok, they’ve “saved” $600k but now have to replace him on the list. If it’s a kid from the draft then it’s $100k so fair enough it’s now a $500k saving but if they have to get another player from another club then that gunna eat up $400-500k of the $600k “saving”.
What am I missing here?
What am I missing here?
Yeah i reckon too. Something amiss and to me always slightly disingenuous with his self-pontificating on AFL360
I would presume the AFLPA, like any other union, would prefer to say anything about a particular individual's situation direct and not in public. I presume they would back Treloar if Collingwood wanted to unilaterally break the contract.
When a player tries to break a contract that is not for the AFLPA to deal with, that would be for their employer to jump up and down about.
