ANY chance Adam Treloar had of finding a new home with one of Queensland’s AFL clubs looks to be in tatters with Gold Coast unwilling to provide the unwanted Magpie a lifeline.

Gold Coast have been heavily linked to the Collingwood midfielder who has reportedly been told by the Magpies he will be up for trade.
The Suns have been meticulous with recruiting in recent seasons under head coach Stuart Dew, targeting specific players of need like Brandon Ellis, Sam Collins and Hugh Greenwood, while using high end draft picks to bring in quality young talent.
Treloar has shown no interest in moving and Gold Coast aren’t prepared to break away from its list build strategy to obtain him.
The Suns have shown interest in Adelaide Crows midfielder Rory Atkins and Richmond’s defender Oleg Markov.

Treloar’s situation is complicated. His partner Kim Ravaillion is contracted to Super Netball team Queensland Firebirds for 2021, meaning their daughter Georgie will be in Queensland too for a period.
He is currently contracted on a heavily back-ended deal until 2025 with Collingwood who may need to pay some of his salary to the club he goes to should a trade happen.
