Collingwood trade Treloar, picks 26,33 and 42 (1687 points) for pick 14 and future 2nd rounder ( we'll call it pick 30, for points value - 1790 points ). So let's call the points even, for arguments sake.
As such Treloar for pick 14, does that pass the "pub test" when taking into account the AFL Integrity Unit sign off on all trades being fair and "market value"? For mine, it doesn't, again, tell me if you think I'm wrong.
So the AFL basically sign off on a trade that allows Collingwood to dump some salary so they either a) don't end up going over the TPP in coming years or b) end up having a stacked top end TPP and nothing at the bottom end, basically have 5 blokes on mega money and 10-15 at the bottom end on scraps leaving them (probably) uncompetitive.
Then the AFL allow them and the Bulldogs an extension on the lodging of paper work to make sure they don't go over the TPP and spread the wage of Treloar out to best suit their needs.
As I said, tell me if you think I'm wrong here.
I think Treloar is equal to pick 14.
