GWS chief executive Dave Matthews has taken aim at Collingwood’s Adam Treloar.
Treloar, who left the Giants for the Magpies in 2015, recently suggested that "it’s going to be hard to say no" to the expected big-money offers Stephen Coniglio will receive from interested clubs.
Speaking to Damian Barrett on the In The Game podcast, Matthews responded to the comments by firing shots back at Treloar.
"I saw his comments, he sounded a lot more sure of himself now than when he was with us," Matthews said.
"I think about his final year at the club where he was absolutely adamant he was staying, wasn't going anywhere.
"I think sometimes players, and this has happened to the Gold Coast too, go for the money.
"It ends up being a go-home factor. But I would have thought his decision, as much as anything, came down to money.
"He was very, very clear, Adam, that he was going to stay with us. He was equally clear that Richmond was going to be his club of choice.
"And then he made a decision that was equally sure that Collingwood was going to be his club of choice.”
Matthews also spoke of how the Treloar move came about.
"It was an unusual time, a very unusual time, and how he got to Collingwood is probably a podcast in itself," he added.
"When you lose your footy manager (Graeme Allan) and a player who is indicating he wants to stay, then talks about going to Richmond, and ends up at Collingwood with that footy manager, it was an unusual set of circumstances.
"I hasten to add I've got a fantastic relationship with 'Gubby' Allan, huge respect for what he has been able to do and again, he brought resilience in spades to our club.
"And he brought success to our club, and again, that was probably a disappointing period on the club's history.
"You would've loved to have been able to hold Treloar but in saying that, I don’t think we've missed him too much."
