At the time of the trade, rumours swirled that Treloar no longer had the support of his teammates<\/a>, while fingers were also pointed out as his partner, Super Netball star Kim Ravaillion, with suggestions the pair's long-distance relationship due to their respective careers, would affect the midfielder's performance.<\/p>\n Opening up on his departure from the club, Treloar said he had no hard feelings towards his former teammates.<\/p>\n "I was moving on from a group of guys that I just love, I love them all. I cherished every moment of playing for that footy club. I loved playing for Collingwood, I loved playing for the fans there and I still thought I was going to be playing there," Treloar told The Age<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The 28-year-old has to date played 174 senior games for the Magpies and GWS Giants.<\/p>\n One of the issues Collingwood faced during last year's trade period was finding a team willing to take on Treloar's $900,000 per year contract for the next five years.<\/p>\n It's a hefty pay packet that puts Treloar among the game's elite earners. To complicate matters the deal was back-ended to fit within Collingwood's salary cap, which the midfielder said was part of the "hit" he had to take.<\/p>\n "I am exactly the same. What I would have been getting paid, [there were] only a certain few players [in the AFL] that would have been entitled to that," Treloar added.<\/p>\n "The reason why it was like that was because I had taken so much of a hit that I was owed that money."<\/p>\n The fallout from Treloar's contract hasn't been an easy one after Buckley revealed earlier this month that he had been unsuccessful in attempting to reach out to his former clubman.<\/p>\n "I've reached out to 'Ads' a couple of times and we haven't connected," Buckley told AFL Media.<\/p>\n Asked about the fallout and whether he would speak to Buckley any time soon, Treloar admits now isn't the time but said he hopes later on the pair will connect.<\/p>\n "I guess it was hard not to take it personally … I did, but it is kind of hard not to. You put anyone in that position; are they going to take it personally? I think they are," Treloar added.<\/p>\n "There will be a time, I have no doubt there will be a time when we eventually connect and chat and talk about things but for now I have clearly got things on my mind and things that I want to focus on and not really worry about that."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
