Speaking to Damian Barrett on the In The Game podcast, GWS chief executive Dave Matthews responded to the comments by firing shots back at Treloar.
"I saw his comments, he sounded a lot more sure of himself now than when he was with us," Matthews said.
"I think about his final year at the club where he was absolutely adamant he was staying, wasn't going anywhere.
"I think sometimes players, and this has happened to the Gold Coast too, go for the money.
"It ends up being a go-home factor. But I would have thought his decision, as much as anything, came down to money.
"He was very, very clear, Adam, that he was going to stay with us. He was equally clear that Richmond was going to be his club of choice.
"And then he made a decision that was equally sure that Collingwood was going to be his club of choice.”
Matthews also spoke of how the Treloar move came about.
"It was an unusual time, a very unusual time, and how he got to Collingwood is probably a podcast in itself," he added.
"When you lose your footy manager (Graeme Allan) and a player who is indicating he wants to stay, then talks about going to Richmond, and ends up at Collingwood with that footy manager, it was an unusual set of circumstances.
