Campbell Brown apparently has his old club Hawthorn going after Gold Coast's Harley Bennell.

Calm down peoples

Trelor is serious business

Not worth high dollars according to william.

WP any chance you could retract that statement?

No

Why?

Happy to have Treloar but stand by my concerns of him possible being paid more than 4 of our 5 "A" graders

And based on what is being reported that is what would happen

If you think he is worth more than Lids, Reiwoldt, Rance and Martin then good for you

I don't

So NO I don't retract anything

[Eat_em_Alive]

Not worth anymore than them at all.
If we have to pay overs Id rather go after a Redden type, than a player like Treloar whos contract will push other out over the next few years

[Yeahright]

Most of our top players took a pay cut for this exact reason, to bring more star players over

Its not that he "is worth more" than deledio or cotchin

its what you have to pay, to get him (probable)

the difference is significant

Richmond have 10% extra salary cap space, we have already four retired players, we should have existing space for new players already in the bank, the 2.5billion tv rights will mean the caps are made bigger again

Yep. You have to pay overs to get young guys who are going to be very good players for 10 years. I think Cotch, Lids, Martin and co. would understand this. Salaries for star players are trending upwards anyway so locking Treloar away for 6 years at 700-750 won't seem expensive at all in 3 years.

If he wants to come to punt rd then I'd have no problems with him being our highest paid player.

theres a lot of merit in this post 

what's going on with everyones quoting?

its not working properly

its not working properly

Seems to be fixed now

Looks like it needed de-fibrillating.

Not disputing that

But I don't think this bloke is worth what he is supposedly asking

3years in the system, doesn't = $750k-800k a season

Dangerfield absolutely, Treloar not sold

And also I want players coming to our club who want to be part of something not because we've offered the biggest pay cheque

And just on an aside: there was nothing wrong with the "quoting" function. One person tried to quote something, got it wrong by cutting the wrong bit out and then it threw out everyone else who quoted using original post as the starting point but it's all fixed now

[Knighter]

You're running against the tide on this one WP. Treloar is a absolute gun and worth every cent of 750k/yr. Second most valuable player on the Giants list after Cameron and most talented young mid in the comp after Bont's. It'll be nudie runs around the house if we get him

As long as we don't Get Yarran!
