Josh Treacy tipped for strong response in Fremantle semi-final

Fremantle forward Josh Treacy is expected to deliver a strong performance in the upcoming AFL semi-final against Geelong at Optus Stadium. This follows a difficult qualifying final loss to Hawthorn, where the All-Australian player recorded only four disposals and no marks.

Fremantle midfielder Andrew Brayshaw expressed confidence in Treacy’s ability to respond, describing him as a physical player who is expected to play with intensity. Other key forwards, including Jye Amiss and Patrick Voss, also struggled in the previous match, which stood in contrast to their high-scoring performance during the home-and-away season.

Coach Justin Longmuir previously noted the team's over-reliance on quick handballs, and Brayshaw indicated that improving delivery into the forward line will be a primary focus for the upcoming match.
