Fremantle's Josh Treacy is beginning to ‘build confidence’ after another impressive showing against Gold Coast at Optus Stadium on Saturday.

The young forward backed up his three-goal performance against the Western Bulldogs in round 12 with two goals and three behinds against Gold Coast on Saturday.

Adding to his scoreboard impact, Treacy was important in Freo’s front half applying strong tackle pressure and providing a contest aerially, finishing with seven marks.

Speaking on the Final Siren Podcast with Duck and Oz after the game, Treacy said he felt the need to step up in the absence of tall target Matt Taberner.

“With 'Tabs' going out of the side, I felt like there was a need to step up,” Treacy told the Final Siren Podcast.

“The Port Adelaide game (in round 11) was where it probably changed for me, I got to more contests and clunked a few and tried to crash some packs.

“I just try to back myself against any opponent and hope the boys have trust in me to kick it (my way).”

Treacy credited the influence of Taberner, as well as fellow tall Rory Lobb and forward line coach David Hale for their guidance in his first few months at the Club.

“It’s been unbelievable, when I first got here the Victorian boys were stuck in quarantine, so we had to train separately at different hours of the day in our little groups,” Treacy said.

“That was what really helped me…'Tabs' took me under his wing, and we really bonded.

“Then I obviously got to work with ‘Lobby’ and learn the attributes he brings.

“David Hale has been unbelievable in just working with me every week on body position and things like that, it’s been really good.”

While Treacy experienced some inaccuracy against the Suns, he said that his goal kicking routine had been a focus area of improvement for him since arriving at Freo.

“It’s something that I worked a lot on when I first got (to Freo),” Treacy said.

“I had a few issues kicking across my body…so I thought I’d get back to basics and figure it out.

“The boys are always commentating on it, and I feel really comfortable in it.

“I missed a couple (against Gold Coast) but I’m still feeling really confident in my ability and my technique.”
