Collingwood midfielder Adam Treloar was told last week that senior players don’t want him at the football club anymore, according to SEN Chief Sports Reporter Sam Edmund.
The Treloar situation has reached boiling point, after it was revealed last month that the Pies were intent on moving the 27-year-old on during the upcoming trade period.
Edmund says the unfortunate situation will now put even more pressure on Treloar to find another club.
“This is unfortunate for the player concerned,” he said on AFL Trade Radio’s Trade Afternoons.
“What we can say as absolute fact is Nathan Buckley had a phone conversation with Adam Treloar last week where he told him that Collingwood’s more senior players didn’t want him around the club anymore.
“We were wondering how Collingwood would seek to pour more pressure on forcing Adam Treloar out – now we have our answer.
“Now they’re telling him his teammates want him out, which I find staggering as he’s a very popular player at that football club.”
Treloar’s partner and netball star Kim Ravaillion recently announced she would link up with the Queensland Firebirds in 2021, which would see her and the couple’s young daughter live interstate next year.
Treloar is contracted with the Pies until 2025.
