Spot on.
If we win 11 or 12 out of 13 games at Optus next year we're set for a big year. Then we just need to beat Richmond in the Barossa who should be terrible and 4 of our other 9 interstate games to finish top 4.

Making finals is not my dream. winning premierships is
Yes luck sometimes comes into injuries during season. but you have to make your own luck by training to the level that beats teams even when you missing 2 players.
yed we will cheer the team if they make top 4, we will cheer our win at home finasl if it occurs.
But we will be changing all our thoughts once we lose GFs against teams we only met once every year and get outplayed. Hmmm how did we lose the only GF we ever played in after winning home finals
WE finished minor premirerships in another year and didnt get to paly GF.
so Premierships are what we are after, is the DRAW fair, no. is travelling every 2nd week fair, no.
But we must overcome all obsticles and beast the best, any where any time.
Until then we can tell the world all the WHYs but they will not care until we win the premiership

Does anyone even remember when Sydney got to play against the AFL U19s All Stars team twice in their premiership 2012 season, beating them for a combined 157 points in a season where 3rd on the ladder and 6th was a single win difference and their percentage pushed them into third ahead of the Pies?
Nope.
So if we can play the U15s QLD girls AFL team four times in 2025 for four wins and four 100 points plus wins I will take it.

Treacy Update
www.perthnow.com.au
The 22-year-old spearhead is coming off a career-best 45 goal season, but it was abruptly ended in round 21 because of a knee injury that he will manage leading into the new year.
Treacy’s fitness was the subject of much speculation late in the season as the Dockers tried to cling to a finals berth before eventually falling short after losing their final four games to slip out of the top eight.
“We didn’t win so I guess we’ll never know,” Treacy told reporters on his prospect of playing finals.
“We were willing to give it a go but we’ll never know because we weren’t in a position to be able to give it a go.
“I’m not 100 per cent (on when I will be back to full training), it’s probably out of my hands at the moment but I will be in and out for a couple of weeks and then I’ll be good to go.”
Big Cohuna rides wave of uncertainty after knee injury
Fremantle forward Josh Treacy is unsure when he will be back in full flight as the breakout star of their 2024 campaign continues to manage a knee injury.

Okay, who was TTHD today? Anyone watching?
But on a serious note - who will be our next leaders of the young group? No more Andy and Caleb in the young group.
Feel like JT would be a driver this pre season, but next year he won't be there? Next year who do we think would take on that leadership mantle amongst the young group?

A group of 16 first-to-four-year players hit the training track on Thursday at Fremantle, the Dockers afforded an extra few days rest after Peel Thunder won the 2024 WAFL grand final in late September.
Jye Amiss, Heath Chapman, Hugh Davies, Jack Delean, Josh Draper, Neil Erasmus, Matthew Johnson, Odin Jones, Ollie Murphy, Nathan O’Driscoll, Liam Reidy, Cooper Simpson, Josh Treacy, Patrick Voss, Brandon Walker and Karl Worner were all sighted in what ended up being a somewhat light session packed with skills and fitness.
“It’s always an exciting time to get back around the group and back within the four walls,” key forward Josh Treacy said. “The boys have been here training for the last month three times a week or more.”
The Dockers like to spring time trials on the playing group without warning. So there was an air of anxiety in the air as each drill concluded and the players were left wondering what was coming next. But luckily fitness staff spared the Dockers time trials on day one.
Fremantle’s first-to-four-year group was smaller than it has been in previous years with the likes of Caleb Serong, Jeremy Sharp, Luke Jackson and Hayden Young graduating into the 5+ year group. The club also delisted Tom Emmett, Sebit Kuek, Ethan Stanley and Conrad Williams over the off-season.
Treacy said Fremantle’s youth want to propel the club up the ladder next season.
“We’ve got a great core that is really young and driven so hopefully we can give the older boys a bit of a shock when they get back,” he said. “We lost a few out of the young boys.
“There’s a few of us that are in our last year as well. We’ll still have the same attitude. Age is not going to be a thing for us.”
Treacy admitted that he couldn’t watch much, if any, finals football after the Dockers lost their last four games of the season to crash out of the top eight.
“It’s different when you feel like you let an opportunity slip to sit back and watch that,” he said. I figured what was best for me was to completely switch off and enjoy a bit of a break.
“Hopefully we’re not sitting back in that position again next year.”
Veteran forward Michael Walters was spotted watching training from the sidelines.
The 22-year-old trained away from the main group but was still put through his paces, clocking up several kilometres on the sidelines.
Treacy missed Fremantle’s final three games after copping a knock to his knee against Essendon. The Dockers said at the time that the key forward was on track to play finals if they qualified. But that never eventuated and Treacy conceded that he spent the off-season in rehab.
“We didn’t win so I’ll guess we’ll never know,” he said. “I’ll be in and out (of training) for a couple of weeks I’d say and then I’ll be good to go.
“I spent quite a bit of time in here with rehab stuff doing everything I could to give myself the best opportunity to be right for this time of the year and set myself up for next year.”
Treacy believes he still has room to improve after a career-best, 45-goal season.
“I won’t be taking the foot off the pedal that’s for sure,” he said.
Amiss kicked 42 goals in 2023. But that caused opposition teams to pay him more attention this season with Fremantle forced to ask the AFL more than once why he wasn’t being protected by the umpires.
Amiss looks to have spent the off-season in the gym, adding size and muscle in his bid to become a hulking key forward in 2025.
“By the look of him this morning, he’s put on a couple more kilos so I’d be a bit nervous if a few boys want to wrestle him again this year,” Treacy said. “It’s quite exciting that he’s looking to grow his game already.
“It’s going to be an exciting battle between the forwards and the backs. I think training is going to get quite competitive.”
Six-time NBL champion Damian Martin has joined the club as AFL leadership advisor. Jade Rawlings has replaced Matthew Boyd as the Dockers backline coach. And retired forward Josh Corbett was on hand to lend a hand with skills and energy.
Treacy said that Martin is a particularly big addition, the former Wildcat not looking out of place on the footy field.
“He’s a superstar in the NBL and what he’s done for the Wildcats,” he said. “It’s really to have him on board.
“We’ve got quite a number of new staff who are going to be really valuable to what we’re trying to build.”

KNEE’D TO KNOW
Treacy, the breakout star of Fremantle’s 2024 campaign, is still around a fortnight away from full training as he continues to manage a knee injury.The 22-year-old trained away from the main group but was still put through his paces, clocking up several kilometres on the sidelines.

NOTHING AMISS
Fourth year key forward Jye Amiss looks to have added considerable size to his frame after being on the receiving end of extra attention in 2024.Amiss kicked 42 goals in 2023.

FRESH FACES
There were several fresh faces at training on Thursday as the Dockers look to add new voices to their coaching group.Six-time NBL champion Damian Martin has joined the club as AFL leadership advisor. Jade Rawlings has replaced Matthew Boyd as the Dockers backline coach. And retired forward Josh Corbett was on hand to lend a hand with skills and energy.
Treacy said that Martin is a particularly big addition, the former Wildcat not looking out of place on the footy field.

“We’ve got quite a number of new staff who are going to be really valuable to what we’re trying to build.”
From a quick google, looks likely 3 to 4 months recovery.
Not sure when he would be ready for contact.
I wonder whether we change tact a little on the rookie list front? Pick up Jaren Carr via F/S on rookie list and add Narkle as SSP injury replacement for Odin?
Odin won't get delisted.
Maybe LTI list, and then we get a few players to train over Summer.
I never said delisted.
I meant rather than saving up a rookie spot for Narkle - we use that rookie spot by adding Jaren Carr. Then submit paperwork for Odin Jones on LTI and choose Narkle as SSP.
My understanding is if Jaren Carr is overlooked in the ND and PSD that he is automatically added as F/S to rookie draft.
I don’t believe we have made any promises to Carr for ND but seems he is in the mix. We can instead look at adding another player via ND with our third selection. Potentially upgrade it with a F3.

Might sure up the Carr decision as the rookie to replace jones, and the mature ager that's been talked about for our last pick
