#7 Adam Treloar

Post by **stui magpie** » Thu Jul 16, 2015 6:29 pm

I don't get it.

I keep hearing and reading how we're supposedly ready to throw a metric shitload of money at a 22 year old midfielder who doesn't seem to me to have any standout characteristics to justify this.

Physically he's the same size as Fasolo and Adams. Not exactly big.

Is he lightening by foot?
Is he a ball magnet?
Does he have special skills?

WTF is it about this kid that has so many supporters busting a nut over him? I just don't get it. He looks like a good but not great mid. A middle tier player in a good midfield. IMHO we already have plenty of options in this area, If we're going to pay the kind of touted money for a midfielder I want a rolled gold certified gun for it. He doesn't look it to me.

So tell me - WHY TRELOAR?

It's because of the movie The Club right?

Was interested myself, so did a stats comparison on Footywire with Tay:
http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_p ... 2=S&type=A

This season he has very similar figures to Adams, but uses the ball better (75% eff to 60%), and gets 0.8 goals a game to 0.3. Supercoach average is elite at 106 (to Adams' above average 96).

When he gets the ball he can bloody well
use it properly.
As someone said about Rioli, he may only get it 15
or so times but it is what he does with it that makes the
difference.

He gets a lot more ball than Cyril.

Yes he has a good disposal rate but effective disposals per game he's currently 12th in the league.

For comparison Pendles is equal 4, Beams is 13 and Sidey is 23.

If you go on disposal efficiency % he doesn't make the top 100 players.

Give me facts not just repeated perception.

Because Hine and CO think he can become something very Special

He's 12th in the league for average possession and number 1 for GWS.

He's Adams with all the kinks ironed out and will provide us with that one extra quality mid we probably need to bridge the gap.

Get Freeman right, add in Treloar and the continual improvement of de Goey, Adams, Crisp, Broomhead etc then our midfield is looking very good going forward.

anyone who snags treloar will be paying overs but that's the marketplace we have at the moment. i would have preferred shiel but he's just been re-signed.

5.1 tackles per game is also pretty notable. Equal with Pendles and better than Adams

It's gilding the lilly when the rose bush is dying guys.

The only problem with our midfield is that the ball keeps rebounding from our forward line.

Fix the forward line, fix the - percieved - flaws in the midfield.

We don't need to sell the farm for ANOTHER mid - no matter how highly rated - but we desperately need another mobile and accurate KPF right NOW.

I'm with you Stui, can't see the hype and really cant understand any talk of throwing money at him

he's 12th so he's not that special. He's a slightly faster Adams with better disposal. Is that worth the kind of coin plus the draft picks/players we'd need to trade to get him? That's a serious investment, you want something serious in return.

I'm a long way from convinced that he's it. I'd rather look at how we can get Weideman in the draft or trade for someone similar.

Adam Treloar would be regarded in the top 6 young mids (21 and under)in the league from all the scribes. Would sit comfortably next to:

J Macrae
D Shiel
L Parker
J O'Meara
O Wines

Suggest the knockers watch more footy. He is a gun and we should welcome the chance to get him

Why? What is good about him? What is special?
