Highlights | Josh Treacy v Gold Coast
Watch all the big moments from the milestone man!
Nah I'm talking about how Troy went about it. Don't worry about the differences in turning circles and all that. The intent is the same. I remember Troy would not slow down on those leads when players tried to cut in front. Created carnage & twas awesome then & awesome now seeing it from Treacy.
What stood out more was Sam Collins - this is why we sometimes need to be more patient with Draper etc

He was slightly undersized and we hobbled him further by making him put on too many kegs. Dude has a lion heart though.
that was the aim back then, and I think it caused more harm than good to Fyfe
The thing about Collins wasn't so much he didn't have ability, but more the fact he was 3rd or 4th in line for his position at the time and undersized at that. List realities often mean non-ideal choices need to be made.
Pearce, Hamling, Cox, Logue.
Be honest which of these guys did you think Collins would be better than?
If it weren’t for injuries, even Cox and Logue might never have got a consistent go as KPDs. We’ve seen how good Pearce is the last few years, whilst I think people forget just how good Hamling was for us 2017-2019. The club would’ve known how good Pearce was and there was no reason then that Hamling wasn’t going to be best 22 for the next 6-7 years unless Cox or Logue forced him out.
The mistake was possibly not given Collins a one or two year deal. Reality is though he would’ve probably been traded for peanuts a year or two later and we’d still be talking about not getting enough for him.

Paywalled but another example of the JT hype train starting to gain momentum.

The AFL love a big forward, but the media may have missed the emergence of a Docker that may be the next big thing. Josh Treacy has arrived

Westies (West Highland Terriers). Yorkies are tiny and tan coloured, but incredibly cute. The Wesie is considered to be a working dog and still used on some farms in the south-west. There's two used at Howard Park to keep down the rabbits. They were bread from a Cairn Terrier (which is brown) and were used for wealthy farmers for fox and rabbit hunting. A duke shot his fave dog so bred white ones to make them more visible. We have foxes around where we live, and some nights it drives my boys nuts!
Meet the Wine Dogs of the Margaret River Region
Wine dogs. They’re the unsung heroes of the wine industry. We reveal where to meet some of the friendliest and hardworking wine dogs around.

A lady down south has bred them to guard cattle, they can be used in the Highlands to climb rocks etc alongside their cousins (Border collies), and the coal mines have also used them for their loud barks to sound warnings.
They are incredibly smart, robust and stubborn. Fyfey will watch the footy with me and knows when his namesake has the ball. He even growled at Jako when we watched an old derby

Yeah, I liked him too and was a bit devo we didn't rate him. That being said, he himself said that delisting is what gave him the kick so I guess we could see that ability to a certain degree.
that's pretty cool
. did you walk around it in your Freo gear?
that's pretty cool
No, I didn't walk around Cohuna in my Freo gear, it was a balmy 10°c with a stiff breeze
Just quickly out of the ute for a snap and back into the heated cab. So soft 
Was going through the goal kicking list and note that Josh is now 6th in the Coleman.
Couple of things were notable:
If he gets Curnow amount of ball and kicks at his current accuracy (78%) he would have 58 goals, and be leading the Coleman by 12.
Exciting times.
For this reason I would either play Reidy or play Voss as a ruck to relieve Jackson.
I want Josh to never leave the forward line, unless he’s getting beaten badly on the day.
Couple of things were notable:
- How accurate he is. He’s now kicked 35.10
- How few shots he has in comparison to other key forwards. 45. Almost all the key forwards have between 50 and 75 (Curnow)

Must admit, if I heard someone shout 'Bucephalus' across a dog park, I would assume nothing but excellent things about that person.
On a historical/mythical/dog related note, I feel that Treacy brings enough violence for our three-headed beast to be called Cerberus as opposed to JJJ (or maybe just save that for when Vossy comes in).

We made a decision to give Michael Johnson another year when he was clearly cooked over extending Collins. That was the decision. Johnson was a leader at the club but clearly declining.
