Western Bulldogs great Nathan Brown has dismissed concerns about Adam Treloar<\/a>'s fit at his new club, saying the Bulldogs recruit will "explode" at some point this year.<\/p>\n

Treloar's 11th-hour move to the Bulldogs<\/a> during last year's trade period headlined the Bulldogs' off-season, which also included the arrival of No.1 pick Jamarra Ugle-Hagan.<\/p>\n

However, after the club also retained wantaway midfielder Josh Dunkley<\/a>, Treloar's arrival raised questions over the composition of a midfield which was already crowded. <\/p>\n

According to Brown, Treloar's fit at his new club will be seamless.<\/p>\n

"He'll fit in fine," Brown told Wide World of Sports.<\/p>\n

\"Adam<\/p>\n

"He is such a hard worker, he runs hard and he just compliments (Jack) Macrae, who is a hard runner, (Marcus) Bontempelli, who is more of a strider than a hard runner and you've got (Lachie) Hunter on the outside. <\/p>\n

"They're all hard runners at the Bulldogs and you just add another midfielder."<\/p>\n

The constant knock on Treloar has been his injury issues, with his last few seasons with Collingwood plagued by soft-tissue concerns, but Brown backed him to star when he is on the park.<\/p>\n

"Adam Treloar is going to explode at some point this year. He's going to have 30-35 plus possessions if he can keep himself fit," he said.<\/p>\n

"Now they're starting to put together the best midfield in the competition. The West Coast Eagles have a fantastic midfield, but the Bulldogs now are challenging to be the best midfield in the competition."<\/p>\n

\"Adam<\/p>\n

Ironically, Treloar's first match for the Bulldogs will be against the side that showed him the door in the opening round of the season.<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs have proceeded with caution with Treloar after he experienced calf tightness in February, but the Bulldogs were adamant that there had been no setbacks.<\/p>\n

"Then we've just got to make the call on whether we pick him on limited game time," Dogs coach Luke Beveridge said this week.<\/p>\n

"He's done a lot of cross-training, he's very fit. Because of his experience and his history, he'll definitely be a consideration if we can get him through training and he's feeling strong."<\/p>\n
