Dogs star Treloar goes into 250th in career-best form

Even Western Bulldogs star Adam Treloar admits he is in career-best form ahead of his 250th game.

The **** midfielder is making a compelling case to be named All-*********** for the first time, helping power the Bulldogs’ push to lock in a finals spot.

Treloar put in another best-on-ground performance on Sunday, gathering 40 possessions as the Bulldogs dismantled ladder-leaders Sydney by 39 points at the SCG for their third-straight win – all coming against top-eight sides.

“I’ve been able to play a good amount of footy at a high-level for a long, sustained *******,” the 31-year-old said on Tuesday.

“As a season itself, yeah I would say it’s probably my best season so far.

“But there’s still games to go and hopefully there’s a deep finals run as well.

“I’m just really enjoying coming into the workplace and I’m one of the older boys here now.

“I don’t take for granted the position that I’m in and I love this footy club.”

After playing 79 games as an inaugural member of GWS’s squad, Treloar played 94 matches with Collingwood.

But he was infamously encouraged to move on from the Magpies, entirely due to the club’s salary cap mess at the end of 2020.

“It’s pretty crazy to think that I’ve played for three footy clubs now and I’m extremely proud of my journey so far. I wouldn’t change it for anything,” Treloar said.

“One of the small achievements that I’ve wanted to achieve is play 100 games for a footy club.

“I think I’m at about 76 for the Bulldogs, so hopefully there’s a few more years there and I can play 100 games and get my name on the locker, which would be pretty cool.”

The Bulldogs will revert to their original name, Footscray, this week to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the club’s first premiership.

They will host Melbourne, whom they defeated in the 1954 decider, at Marvel Stadium on Friday night, wearing retro jumpers in Treloar’s milestone match.
