It's pretty speculative that Treacy was not taken in the National draft thinking that he'd peaked at 17 years old. But if this is the case, recruitment people are so smart that they are stupid.
Nonetheless, I will continue to be very happy to see smartarses search for particular athletic attributes like beep tests, jumping up to push a bunch of popsticks up high around a pole, and ability to wear mansport-bras while running 3 km time trials while my team recruit natural footballers.
Think Michael Barlow.
There's no way in hell that Treacy doesn't have improvement in him. No way. And more power to Freo because of it.
Absolutely correct, though, that he can't be a solo show. But isn't it exciting when you have options. Let's hope his body holds up.
