Josh Treacy (born 4 August 2002) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Fremantle Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Early life
[edit | edit source]Treacy is from Cohuna, a dairy farming area in the north of Victoria. He participated in the Auskick program at Cohuna[1] and played for the Cohuna Kangas in the Central Murray Football and Netball League and the Bendigo Pioneers in the NAB League Boys Under 18s competition. In 2020, Treacy was named to co-captain the Pioneers, but the season was cancelled due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
AFL career
[edit | edit source]Fremantle (2021–)
[edit | edit source]2021 season
[edit | edit source]Treacy was recruited by Fremantle with their first selection, 7th overall, in the 2021 rookie draft.[3] He played for Fremantle's reserves team, Peel Thunder, in the West Australian Football League (WAFL) during the pre-season, and was suspended for two games for striking former Fremantle player Brady Grey during one of the games. Due to a misalignment of the WAFL and AFL season, the two week suspension was initially thought to be effectively four weeks, until the AFL made a ruling that the suspension to play for Fremantle for shall be considered as two weeks of the AFL season, not the WAFL season.[4] He made his AFL debut during the fourth round of the 2021 AFL season against Hawthorn.[5] Treacy kicked a game-high three goals in round 12 during Fremantle's match against the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium. He finished his debut season having played 15 games and kicked 13 goals.
2022 season
[edit | edit source]Treacy had a frustrating start to the 2022 AFL season, suffering a groin injury during pre-season. Injuries to both his ankles as well as contracting glandular fever saw his season restricted to four games.[6]
2023 season
[edit | edit source]Treacy made his return during round one of the 2023 AFL season, against St Kilda, after a strong pre-season.[7] Treacy kicked 2 goals in round 9 during Fremantle's 17-point win over Sydney at the Sydney Cricket Ground.[8] Treacy kicked 3 goals in round 18 during Fremantle's game against Collingwood at the MCG.[9] He signed a three-year contract extension in 2023, tying him to Fremantle until at least 2026.[10] He finished the season having played a career-high 17 games.
2024 season
[edit | edit source]Treacy made the line-up for Fremantle's opening game of the 2024 AFL season against the Brisbane Lions at Optus Stadium. He finished the game with 12 disposals and three goals in the 23-point come-from-behind win.[11] He kicked three goals within a 5-minute period four weeks later against Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval, and he finished the game with 16 disposals.[12] His fine form continued throughout the next three weeks, kicking nine goals to sit atop Fremantle's leading goalkicker tally. Treacy kicked a then career-best five goals in round 17 against Richmond at Optus Stadium.[13] He signed a four-year contract extension on 31 July 2024 to keep him at Fremantle until at least 2030.[14] Treacy kicked three goals and collected nine disposals in round 21 against Essendon at the MCG.[15] He suffered a knee injury during the match;[16] consequently, he missed Fremantle's last three games of the season.[17] He finished the year as Fremantle's leading goalkicker, having kicked 45 goals across 20 games in a breakout season, as well as an eighth place finish in the Coleman Medal.[18]
2025 season
[edit | edit source]Treacy was elevated into Fremantle's leadership group ahead of the 2025 AFL season.[19] In round 5, he kicked a career-high six goals in a 61-point win over Richmond at Barossa Park, which was a highlight of his brilliant early season form where he kicked 20 goals in the first 7 games.[20] He finished the season as Fremantle's leading goalkicker for the second year in a row, having kicked 44 goals across 24 games.[21]
