Giants to hear from Treloar 'within 14 days' AFL.com.au
September 6, 2015GREATER Western Sydney expects to have an answer from Adam Treloar on his future within the next 14 days, with skipper Callan Ward confident the star midfielder will re-sign with the Giants.
The 22-year-old has ben the centre of speculation all year after he told the club he wanted to delay contract talks until the end of the season.
The Victorian native has been linked to Collingwood, North Melbourne and Richmond, with lucrative offers on the table to secure his services.
Coach Leon Cameron said he would sit down with Treloar after Wednesday to discuss his contract after the completion of individual player reviews.
"We'll probably have a good indication in the next 14 days," Cameron said after the Giants' final game of 2015.
"He'd love to stay at our footy club, but he's got a big decision to make. There are some big clubs around Australia that are after his services and we are as well.
"Hopefully we can convince him to stay at our footy club, but these are big decisions when you're 22 years old."
Ward knows all too well what Treloar is going through.
The 25-year-old's last season with the Western Bulldogs was marred by constant speculation over his future, with Ward eventually departing the Whitten Oval at the end of 2011 to take up a huge deal with GWS.
Ward told AFL.com.au he had not yet spoken to Treloar about his situation, but had been hoping the young midfielder would approach him for advice.
The captain admitted it was a tough decision for his teammate to make, but believed he would be playing at the Giants next year.
"In my heart I think he'll stay," Ward said.
"I really do hope he does, the boys love him and he loves the footy club, so it's a huge decision he has to make."
"I've actually been waiting for him to speak to me, I was hoping he would come to me but he hasn't yet.
"There's no reason why I think he should leave.
"I know for a fact that he'd love to stay here, but as you know with football these days it's a business and players like him who have huge talent and huge potential, and are already stars of the game, really, attract huge offers."
Treloar is the last high-profile youngster yet to re-commit to the Giants.
