Universal Love Welcome to Freo- Josh Treacy

[Boppo]

Great second qtr by him to turn the game from their terms to ours.

He is bigger but that’s where any physical intensity over Troy Cook ends in my view. There is only one Cookie Monster!

I'd love to see Cook and Treacy tackle each other in their primes lol
It'd be like an explosion!

Happy not to be in the white corner.

 

[FreoGirl]

his confidence is growing and just love his toughness

 

[FreoGirl]

He’s going his best as our caretaker in the ruck

Absolutely loved that Treacy backed himself to kick a goal from 50.There is in air of arrogance about him and I mean that in a good way.

Yep, lead by example there, turned his back on the F50 while he walked back to start his run up, usually players get lambasted for by the commentators, but in this instance he was sending a message of “this is how it’s done boys” and then absolutely smacked it!

Treacy has been kicking goals like that in the WAFL since day 1. It’s all been in his head on the big stage.
Hopefully he’s turning the corner mentally and feeling like he belongs.
His field kicking is also superb, needs to be up the ground more in transition.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Taking the shot was smart at that point in time regardless of whether he actually kicked a goal or not.

Time was becoming a factor.

Treacy is one of my fav players since he started playing. the bigger his body gets over the coming years the move physical he will be and if keeps his fitness up and keeps running up and down the forward 50 to the wings we will gain a lot of entries.

 

[Heart Of Purple]

Massive fan of this guy and what he brings. Hope he can find a way to get involved up the ground a bit more though ... Anyone else concerned that Darcy back might impact Treacy more than Jackson?

Seems to relish getting a run in the ruck and getting hands on the footy.

I've seen him beast a few games early on at wafl. It wasn't that long ago both he and Amiss were lining up next to each other for Peel.

How things have changed for both of them.

Both great set shots and Tracey has improved his marking out in front and in packs this season. Can't knock his work ethic to improve.

I can't see there being room for Darcy and Jackson and Amiss and Taberner and Treacy if they're all fit. My short term fear is that Treacy will be the one who gets dropped, and that de-rails his current development curve.

If that was the case then it would have been Amiss Taberner and Cox in round 1 instead of Amiss Treacy and Cox. I think the club is committed to the amiss/Treacy combo

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Can’t believe he was a rookie pick!

So was Sandilands.
There be gold in those Rookie hills

Nah it will be Tabs. Tabs would have to kick 4 plus nearly every game to stay in.

If tabs is doing that we probably trial the 3 KPF + 2 Rucks and let the unicorn roam free, JLo wants him in the forward line to draw the best defender away from Amiss, if Tabs is doing that we get a 199cm mid to play with.

I thought Taberner was injured for round 1? But that could be force of habit.

I hope you're right, and that the club is committed to Amiss + Treacy. That's far and away what I'd prefer to see.

I don't think so. He played in the preseason game against Port and then pretty sure he played in the Peel scratch match during AFL round 1? I might be misremembering though and not sure how to look it up.

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

I think they play Treacy ahead of Tabs.

Mind you Treacy should have taken that mark with 2(?) mis left on the clock

 

[mike91]

Was good tonight, clunked some good marks and got rewarded with the goals

Hopefully he can feast against the Eagles next week and really build on that confidence
