Analysis the Josh Treacy effect

[Purpletown]

JT is on track to be a top shelf key forward for Freo for the next 10 years.

He is one of the best 50 game forwards in recent memory and has plenty more development ahead for him too.

A very hard worker at training from all reports and a real team player.

A very astute selection by the Freo draft team.

Anyone have footage of the superman mark down the other end?

 

[mattis117]

Such an amazing moment and I yelled his name when he was still two meters from the contest, could see it unfolding. What a break out 50th game.

 

[GingerDocker]

If ever there was a guy who epitomises not being judged by the stats sheet it's him.

He has a material effect on every contest he is involved in.

He'd be a great bloke to play with.

that was a good one too - they need a highlights reel for his 50th

The mark in the pic was amazing - he was up against three of their best. It showed just how seriously we took on some genuine super stars.

45 goals this season and went down injured in the worst possible time too

High praise indeed.

Josh is an absolute jet, if he continues to track at his current rate he will be something special. Hopefully the injury gods will be kind to him.

 

[Mighty Guybrush]

Wish the club would release a seasons highlight video for him. Really enjoyed watching him breakout this year.

Yes I.have praised him very high. Both could kick goals up to 60 out and also have a lovely field kick and crash packs. Similar build too.

Tracking the same for age

 

[Paracleet]

He's not tracking like Wayne Carey stop talking crap you lot. Carey finished 5th in the Brownlow in his fourth year in a team that won 7 games!

Let's just be happy we've got ourselves a good player.

Calm down

 

[Tony_Clifton]

Correct me if I am wrong but I do believe he's tracking like Wayne Carey.

If so, Pearce is strongly re-considering his captaincy.

Hopefully we can get pick 4 from Adelaide

I was hoping the freo media mob would do a highlights package to Benson Boons beautiful thing-just before he signed on the dotted line!!

It'll come, Doig is next week

Ok. But Josh only needed 25 more goals to win this year's Coleman, while Carey needed another 94...

Interesting off-season musing. If the 2020 draft were to be redone, where would Josh Treacy go?

My effort:
1. Errol Gulden
2. Jamarra Ugle-Hagan
3. Elijah Hollands
4. Jack Ginnivan (like, Treacy, a rookie selection)
5. Josh Treacy

Now I'm the first to admit, I don't know many of the players from this draft. Part of this will be due to my Freo-centric viewing but no doubt COVID played a powerful role with this draft.

You are being too unbiased, legit, there is not a list manager in the AFL that takes Ginnivan or Hollands ahead of him.

 

[Joao]

Errol is the only one from that list I would seriously consider taking before Treacy.

I'd think about JuH but that dude is a bit too conditional to take at 1. That might change over time.

If the draft was re-done today, Jamarra would still be selected ahead based on potential but Josh will end up the better player

I don't think Ginnivan or Hollands would be in my top 5. Max Holmes would have to be in there and Oliver Henry is probably better.
