The one I guess we didn't see coming in terms of performances, I mean, you had a number of your big gun players who probably would be disappointed with their games, but Josh Treacy's game, the fact that he was just a complete non-factor in the game, that was one we didn't see coming. How has Josh been this week?

Joe Brierty (1:19)

Yeah, he's a really proud person, really proud footballer, and I'm sure that from his perspective, he obviously set himself up to have a strong performance, and as you said, a number of players, and there's factors that play into that in terms of, I guess, his key forwards at times, and ball coming in, and that can have an impact. But like many players, and the way that Josh goes about it from a professionalism perspective, he reviews that in detail with Jamie Graham, and looked what went right and what went wrong, and sets himself up for a really strong performance this weekend. So again, as I said, it's not solely on one individual, but I'm sure that all the players have been really meticulous in looking at what aspects of their game they need to really focus in on this Friday night. And it's a body of work, like weeks along time. In Freo Dockers, and there's a body of work across the entire season. There's a real belief and confidence in our playing group and individual players that play our best brand of footy that stacks up.
