I think comparisons miss the point. They're complimentary forwards. Treacy's major point of difference is, for a crash and bash CHF, he has masses of finesse and is highly accurate. Amiss will get stronger, and is already one of the better leading forwards in the game. His field game is also hugely underrated - he's got elite agility, a great mark and neat field kick. This gives us one of the most fluid forward pairings in the league (currently). Give them a couple of years and forget about salivating over Curnow/McKay, these guys potentially are a generational #1/#2 punch.

I've said for ages that I think Amiss is set to join the podium with Pav and Fyfe, the fact that Treacy might be in that race is frankly outrageous given our history.

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 😢
Should have called in for a cuppa

56 Eddie Ford, North Melbourne
57 Isiah Winder, West Coast
58 Cameron Fleeton, GWS
59 Jacob Wehr, GWS

2021 pre rookie draft rookie elevations
Tom Fullarton, Brisbane
Michael Gibbons, Carlton
Jack Madgen, Collingwood
Brody Mihocek, Collingwood
Connor Budarick, Gold Coast
Nick Holman, Gold Coast
Malcolm Rosas, Gold Coast
Jack Buckley, Greater Western Sydney
Changkuoth Jiath, Hawthorn
Jay Lockhart, Melbourne
Liam Baker, Richmond
Mabior Chol, Richmond
Joel Amartey, Sydney
Harry Edwards, West Coast

2021 pre season draft
Jackson Hately, GWS

2021 rookie draft
Bryce Gibbs, Adelaide (Gibbs retired in 2020 but had to be drafted and retained as an inactive player on Adelaide's Rookie List due to Adelaide's obligations under his contract settlement)
Patrick Walker, North Melbourne
Malachy Carruthers, Sydney
Jack Saunders, Hawthorn
Jacob Townsend, Gold Coast
Martin Gleeson, Essendon

So all 18 clubs selected a grand total of 80 different players (79 if one excludes the Bryce Gibbs re-rookie pick) before we nabbed Cyclone. And he's not yet 22...

BONUS POINTS - anyone want to guess at how many of the 80 players taken ahead of Josh are already out of AFL?

11?
 
Just compared him to all players ahead of him in Coleman ladder

He must be coming into contention for all Australian squad

He is such a well rounded forward

Pressure acts, tackles, rucks when needed, quality disposal and accurate in front of goals from anywhere

Goals and assists round 19:

1. Charlie Curnow 67 (53/14)
2. Jesse Hogan 59 (49/10)
3. Toby Greene 53 (30/23)
4. Josh Treacy 51 (39/12)/Jeremy Cameron (37/14)
6. Harry McKay 50 (44/6)
7. Joe Daniher 49 (37/12)/Kyle Langford (37/12)
9. Tyson Stengle 48 (34/14)
10. Ben King 47 (45/2)/Dylan Moore (27/20)

It'll be hard to go past Curnow and Hogan for AA. But I think he's next in line and should be in the 40 man squad as long as he finishes the season well.

I think Treacy has more score assists than 12..

Score assists yes but these are goal assist stats


edit: 107 score involvements for Treacy, ranked 30th. 4th at the club behind Brayshaw (highest ranked for us at 6th in the AFL), Young and Serong.

Don’t forget the balance between having a left and right footed key forward. Sturt, Walters, Banfield as lefties makes defending us a full inside 50m arc. We aren’t full of right footers who you can hem to the right sided boundary.

Mind you, you can hem Jackson to the pocket, but he’ll banana it straight though.
 
Treacy would have to be only player to have kicked a goal in every game this year. His accuracy is so impressive


For Freo, yes.

League wise, nope.

Hogan and Curnow haven't missed either.
 
Any particular reason the Weavils didn’t enter that draft until pick 52 and then they picked up the most anonymous bloke ever?
