Is the purple climate changing? Is he taking the AFL world by storm? Should we rain in the hype? Cyclone, Dick Treacy, The Big Cohuna… or now Birdman… whatever you call him, the impactful Josh Treacy joins us for a chat.

After a few failed attempts at trying to entice Josh Treacy to come on for a chat, he finally weakened and gave us the green light. Whether it was simply because he wanted the pestering to stop or not is irreverent! The fact is he’s on and we couldn’t be happier.

We talk early footy and family life and his way to the draft and then consequent rookie draft. His feeling about getting an opportunity and having to leave the family and travel across the Nullabor.

He takes us through his time at Fremantle, his early suspensions clocking poor Brady Grey and dropping Jed Bews who he’ll meet again Saturday. We cover last week’s career best game and his future vision. Is he a Docker for life? Is he a WA boy now? 

While this episode is largely focused on the cyclonic conditions, we also take a bit of a look at Saturday’s Walyalup game against Geelong in the Sir Doug Nichols round. 

Like we did Sydney, are we getting the Cats at the right time? The Cats aren’t travelling all that flash and their form has at times been a little deceiving. 

The midfield looks an area where we could assert some superiority. With the Cats losing Mitch Duncan and without Dangerfield, it could leave them a little light on and our inclusion of Nat Fyfe may only widen the gap. 

Cameron and Hawkins are obviously the key but they also welcome back the super talented 2022 All Australian, Tyson Stengle, who kicked 3 on us down in Geelong last year. And let’s not forget Tom Stewart down the other end who intercepted galore on his way to forty touches in that game.

We’re in form, its indigenous round, we’ve got a good challenge against the Cats and we’ve got Birdman Treacy chatting away. 

So, if you’re having a lazy Friday arvo, kick back further for an hour and listen to Josh Treacy cover up our nonsense.
