What an interesting hypothetical thread we have here.
Perhaps we should also hypothesis that had Treloar stayed at GWS for 2016, he would have most likely played in a Grand Final, if not a premiership.
Take f^ck-up merchant Palmer out of that 2016 Prelim final, replace him with Treloar, and Footscray DO NOT win, the fairytale never happens, and it's Swans vs GWS in the Grand Final. Hmmm.... interesting.
2016 Premiership player wants to return to Melbourne; his price then goes through the roof. Let the bidding begin...
I've no doubt Treloar is contemplating these what-if scenarios during his September break; ah well, sucks to be wrong. We're all wiser in hindsight, too bad, so sad. Happens to the best of us.
FYI, it was Treloar's blind kick out of a pack that Swan attempted to mark, and ending his career in round 1, 2016.
So we had them both on the park together, for all of what - 5 minutes?
Imagine that though: Treloar chooses Tigers over the Pies, but we still have a fit Dane Swan. How ironic. |
That's a good scenario mate but I reckon it was Johnson's suspension that cost GWS in the preliminary final. Also, if GWS got through to the GF there's every chance they would have self destructed against Sydney in the GF (like we saw against Adelaide on the weekend). |

Oh no doubt it was Johnson's suspension that cost GWS in the preliminary final in reality; evidently Leon Cameron had no problem with telling him that after the game concluded, so rumour has it.
Even so, GWS's demolition of the Swans in the 2016QF was superbly clinical, and they were playing much better football then, than they have served up so far in 2017.
I doubt GWS would have imploded in the 2016GF, although the contest would have been a lot tighter than it was in that QF, even allowing for SJ to return with all his GF experience. _________________ M I L L A N E 4 2 forever |

REAL Collingwood fans stand by Treloar, and don't abuse him, for no bloody reason, other than being a snide smartarse. Thank heavens for the ignore button, its a ripper. |
Oh it's a totally different site with the ignore button. Started using it a lot more liberally in the last year or so myself. You don't really miss out on anything useful either as you still get the opposing view, just not a million times a day in every thread from the usual suspects. |

No mate, Treloar, like Buckley, got it wrong
If Bucks stays at Brisbane, he's a triple or even quadruple premiership player.
Treloar chooses Richmond, he's closer to a flag than at Eddiewood. |
Richmond winning a flag😂😂😂 before Collingwood,good one

That's what they said about the $£$%^%%$ Bulldogs last year, and yet the AwFuL got them over the line. It's not hard to pull out an extra 18 free kicks apparently that the footy public won't worry about, and even Carlton could win with that many extra frees. And if you can't see how Richmond is far closer to a Premiership this week when they are playing in a prelim next week, compared to us, with our boys playing anything but footy in Ibiza, well can I get a pair of those glasses.
But really, who cares? Just be bloody happy we got him. He was worth everything he cost. So was Buckley. He just had a crap team and crap coach around him for most of his career. Had bad would we have been without him? _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

Richmond still have 2 more games to win.
GWS/WCE and then Adel/Syd/Geel.
All those teams can beat Richmond on the day. With WCE the least likely. I know the Cats were beaten soundly by them, but didnt we beat the Lions in the 2003 QF?
I just wish they had to run into either Syd or Adelaide before a possible GF matchup.
Secondly, who would have thought Shane Crawford would win a flag? He did.
So anything can happen.
For all we know we'll win 10 flags before Richmond win their next. _________________ A Goal Saved Is 2 Goals Earned! |

If the swans make the GF, v the tigger train, they wiill be in a vile and foul mood, there is no way known the swannies will lose three grannies in a row, they are spewing on last year. I reckon they will take the tiges to the cleaners, they are far more experienced in finals, in grannies, and they wont let dusty run lose, or pea heart cotchin, the way the slow cats did. Hell, even we beat the cats, shoulda beaten em twice, actually. Long way to go yet. _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

The stupidity of some supporters and posters never ceases to amaze me. Potting Buckley and Treloar over team choices? They each earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, work in a dream job, live in beautiful house and you think you can lay a glove on them? Same posters potting them would be lucky to earn 100k busting their arse in a job they likely don't enjoy.
I'm sure Buckley doesn't have trouble sleeping at night having chose Collingwood over the bears.
And no need to pity Treloar, he will win one with the Pies. Perhaps you forget where Richmond was on the ladder last year? _________________ People forget that our last premiership was only 2010 and rebuilds take some time. 2018 we play finals again. |

Firstly I don't think Tigers will win the GF. Adelaide simply has too much talent on every line to overwhelm Richmond's defences. Motivation wise, 35 years after their last GF appearance is a powerful motivator for Richmond, but Adelaide has an even more powerful motivator, the legacy of Phil Walsh's coaching period at Adelaide.
With regard to Treloar, I don't think he meant what he said when he said a reason for joining Collingwood, was that Collingwood was closer to a premiership than Richmond. He wanted to return to Melbourne. Collingwood had the best offer on the table and had been courting him for over 12 months. Richmond made an opportunist play for him at the last moment. Treloar likes the training facilities and high profile of the Collingwood fc. He likes Nathan Buckley. After making his decision he was asked by a reporter why he didn't choose Richmond over Collingwood. He thought he would have a bit of fun goading the Richmond supporters. It worked. |
