If Hayden Ballantyne and She-Hulk had a baby, it would be Josh Treacy.

I've noticed Tracey lead well during match sim but either his ruck in Reidy not getting the tap to his mids and delivering it forward or the mids and backs struggling to hit him on the lead.
Tabs, Amiss and Treacy can work. Seems like a proper forward l line coach in Grayham is working. Did so for Amiss, Jackson and Treacy at times.

It can work.
Except for Darcy they are all mobile . Jackson and Treacy on the ground are small forward like.
Have 4 on the field with 1 on the bench. Equals 80% game time.
Plus, you can sub one out at 3/4 time and use effective load management. Tabs and Darcy has injury histories.

Doesn't it just feel like one to many with Jackson as well?
No. Jackson isn’t the typical cumbersome second ruck. The club should unleash him in a hybrid role. Can play wing, HF, midfield.
Amiss as good as he is, needs protection as he’s only 21.
Just don’t want Treacy anywhere near the ruck.
No training today--the boys are out on the water rowing!
I don’t think so to be honest mate. This is the time to iron out the mistakes. Then they are “supposed” to train the things that don’t work as well in the sims.
No one was saying Collingwood were going to win the flag by how the pre season match sims went.
So I’m hoping it’s just all about building and refining…. I hope haha

I think we all have to remember also that it’s much easier to make mistakes when your opponent also knows the game plan.
So I reckon we will see where we are really at against other opposition

Jackson and Treacy are nothing like small forwards on the ground. Sure, they are mobile and athletic for their size, but small forwards (and small defenders) would run rings around them when the ball and/or small is in free space.
We should think outside the box and just accidentally have some Morton bay fig seeds land on that ridge accompanied by fertilizer and copious water.
Yes agreed.
Whilst we all want sensational skills on display in the match sims that could also be an example of a general lack of pressure all over the ground. I would prefer that the match sims have great pressure, But if the skills without pressure are poor, I would have some concerns.

Slight correction, Amiss is only 20, turns 21 in July. Treacy is 21
Dirty Morton Bay fig!!!!!!I mean seriously!!!!
Young Ollie been hitting the gym! He's just picked this man up by the feet and rotated him! Imagine what he's gonna do to the oppo's best forward! Herculean strength.
... Also nice to see him smiling a bit

Also, despite having an elite rig and visible abs, Dogga is standing here with a real bit of Dad-bod energy casting a gaze over his freshly cut buffalo grass.

Given the reports on how Serong has been performing in preseason, he's in for a big year. I think if all goes well he could be a smoky for the brownlow this season or top 3 in the voting. If Daicos doesn't win it that is, which the AFL will do everything in their power to make happen.
ooohh Freddie too!
Doesn't surprise me.....he has an injury plagued history unfortunately. His running gait is also very awkward to the point where it looks like his hamstrings don't allow his legs to fully extend. Hard to explain but once you see it, you will know.
