ADAM Treloar's management says the midfielder would still be at Greater Western Sydney beyond this year if the club had offered him a fair and reasonable new deal during the 2015 season.
Peter Blucher told NAB AFL Trade Radio that the star midfielder – who finished runner-up to Heath Shaw in the Giants best and fairest award last month – would have signed with GWS "on the spot", but he was not made a priority by the club.
GWS managed to secure the likes of leading goalkicker Jeremy Cameron, midfielders Dylan Shiel, Stephen Coniglio and Devon Smith, plus a host of other young players, but Treloar was left on the outer.
Freo prepared to make giant offer for McCarthy
Treloar made the decision to leave the Giants and has nominated Collingwood as the club he wants to join during this year's trade period.
"At the start of the year Adam (Treloar) was quite happy to stay at GWS, that was actually his preference," Blucher said.
"We had an offer on the table from GWS which we thought was inadequate, we told them we thought it was inadequate, we gave them another number which I think was more than fair and reasonable which he'd be happy to accept.
"(Adam) would have signed for two years on the spot (but) there was no movement (from the club) so when we realised there was going to be no movement we had an obligation to seek some alternatives.
"We finished up at Collingwood, his preferred destination and now we have every faith and confidence that Collingwood will do a fair and reasonable trade that will satisfy both parties and get Adam to the 'Pies next year.
"We think that what they're (Collingwood) intending to offer is more than fair and reasonable for a player who obviously wasn't a priority for GWS.
"At the end of the day there was a whole bunch of players who were out of contract and one by one they picked them off through the course of the year.
"They signed them without coming to Adam with what we thought was anything like a fair and reasonable number and that’s their prerogative."
Recent reports in the Herald Sun suggest that GWS could be open to dealing with other clubs in order to secure the best deal possible, with Carlton one of those inquiring about Treloar's services.
The Pies are believed to be open to offering this year's pick seven and one or more picks in the 2016 NAB AFL draft for Treloar, who led the Giants for disposals in 2015.
Despite the Blues hovering, Blucher said Collingwood is the only club in Treloar's sights, and was confident that the Giants and the Magpies could do a deal.
He said it's a little confusing that GWS weren't prepared to come to the party during the season to keep Treloar in Sydney.
"He's a very Melbourne-centric young fella," Blucher said.
"He was prepared to stay at GWS for two years as a (show of) loyalty or payback for what they'd given him, which was fantastic and he wanted to do that.
"They perhaps realised that in two years time he would have come home, so maybe they decided to cut their losses now and trade him now.
"I don't know what their thinking was."
