It's the Caddy who until today was averaging less than 20 disposals and hadn't cracked it for a 30 possession game.
Treloar on the other hand is averaging above 27 disposals and has 4 games above 30 possessions plus another 3 at 29.
Treloar is 6 months younger than Caddy whilst Adams is another 6 months younger again and already pulling in bigger numbers than Caddy.
Treloar>Adams>Caddy.
I trust our club knows what it's doing in this regard.

| Anyone have a list of players who will be out of contract restricted and unrestricted free agents in the next couple of years? |

I haven't seen enough of him but did pose the question over on BF about a comparison with O'Rourke. Both highly hyped, both high draft selections with Treloar being pre-draft and O'Rourke being pick 2. Yet for all the O'Rourke hype he hasn't had an impact at the Hawks thus far in 2015. |
Caddy is another example, hardly setting the world on fire at the cattery, although granted he was only pick 7 |
Not really sure what point you two are trying to make.
Treloar is miles ahead of O'Rourke as a player and well ahead of Caddy. |
Just highlighting that trading a highly hyped 21-22 year old may not provide the immediate boost you expect or ever deliver on the hype. The hype on both Caddy and O'Rourke equally had them ahead of others. |
Yeah but the hype surrounding Treloar is actually based on his output.
All O'Rourke has to his name is being a former No.2 pick.
Treloar is already a better player than Caddy. |
O'Rourke was "hyped" as a draftee, not at the time of trade. He was seen as not having delivered on the draft hype which is why the Hawks got him at a knockoff price.
Caddy's been good but was nowhere near as good as Treloar early in his career.
Treloar's delivering now, so assessments are not based solely on potential (as with O'Rourke who did very little in his time at the Giants). I do agree that there isn't anything that stands out particularly about his play, but he wins a lot of ball, wins it in close, uses it quite well, has decent pace and a strong defensive side to his game. I see him as a quicker, tougher Beams who plays both offensively and defensively. I don't think he's our absolutely ideal midfield addition but he'd definitely be a good one, though I don't see a spot for Greenwood if it happened.

DTM you can't have a Collingwood player that hits targets.
Aren't you getting a little greedy????

Thanks mate. Sadly there's nothing to get too excited about on that list. |

Yeah lets stick with footy illuminaries such as Toovey and Seedsman, they'll get us to the promised land of "mediocrity"!

No - what the list shows is that all the half-way decent talls get re-signed before they can be enticed away. That, I suppose, raises the question of Henderson and Kreuzer, although I'm not particularly excited about either of them. It probably also explains, at least in part, Collingwood's eagerness to get Jesse White last year and tends to indicate quite how crazy it would be to rule a line through Ben Reid's name whilst there's a prospect he will play again. |
