Universal Love Welcome to Freo- Josh Treacy

[vidwhal]

He's notably on the move much more in f50. Don't see him standing and wrestling as much.

If you were to liken his game to a current or historic player who would it be? Talking purely style wise not talent/achievements.

Jonathan Brown?

Remember that wrecking ball Troy Wilson for wet toast? Josh's physicality reminds me of him.

 

[vidwhal]

JL has called him Workhorse..
More like a WARHORSE!
Or, I like...Bucephalus, Alexander The Great's personal battle mount.

I like Shadowfax.

 

[Purple Jesus]

I like Shadowfax.

 

[Taylor]

Yes, and?

 

[Piggy Smalls]

I plan on being around for many years yet. And, in that time a bundle of flags.

Troy Wilson did ok as a mature aged AFL pick, had the turning circle of a Mack truck however. JT is a more subtle version, just a natural footballer who plays with a degree of intent matched few others.

There’s been some very good ones, but JT has the potential to be the best ever rookie draft pick in the AFL

If he's better than Dean Cox we have ourselves a genuine hall of fame player.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Everyone is still sleeping on JT. If he was a top 5 pick in Victoria the hype would be through the roof right now.

Pick 33 in the 2002 rookie draft might have something to say about that.

Probably not though. I don't reckon Sandi did much talking.

Not sure anyone is sleeping on him now. He's had high praise from quite a few east coast media pundits in recent weeks. I think it was Dermott who only this week said he could be the next breakout power forward of the AFL. On the Couch were also very complimentary and highlighted his field kicking. I'm sure one of them said he's got everything you want in a key forward.

 

[Cam Payne]

Always runs hard, tackles ferociously, smashes packs if he can't get his hands on the ball, is starting to hold more he can get his hands too, kicks accurately for goal over long distance and cost less than two serves of hot chips. What's not too like?

The fact that he might only have another 14 years in him is cause for concern.

I still believe that if covid didn't shut down U18s footy then his marking, aggression and size would have seen him taken in the second round.

Dermie borderline yicky on our boy.
Wants to get in "early"...
Too late though

Sleep is over. Hopefully Josh is the kind that thrives under scrutiny.

Treacy's 10X the footballer.

 

[wakojako]

Look how he barrels through any player in his way in that clip. Well earnt nickname of the cyclone. Dude is going to be a cult hero for us. Both him and Amiss are going to be an unstoppable force.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

I've watched him steamroll those Suns players about 20 times.

 

[Paracleet]

Hutchy brain so cooked after 8 beers after work every night (10 on the weekend) for 30 years that he forgot Pav exists. Bonus points for doubling down.

I want to get another dog now, just so I can call it Bucephalus.

there would be a few players like that

 

[Spirit Level]

The passage of play where he bulldozed his way through a few Suns players then got the big tap through to Sturt was incredible (and deserved a better finish).

I'm waiting for TCD to release the Cyclone Treacy shirt

Would have to be the oldest (and earliest born) user in this website's history.
