Fremantle senior coach Justin Longmuir said key forward Josh Treacy’s relentless work ethic and drive to improve are what make him stand out.

Treacy was prolific in the win over the Tigers, taking an equal career-high 12 marks, with half of these taken in the forward 50.

The 23-year-old finished the day with four goals, and only once before had more score involvements in a game than the 11 he had today.

“He's a competitor. There's not many players in our Club that work harder on their game then JT,” Longmuir said.

"He’s evolved in all areas. He looks for improvement in all areas of his game. Hence, he's fitter and stronger and his crafts, better than last year.

"He gets a lot of balls kicked into his hands, and then when everyone's finding it slippery, he's marking like a dry weather day.

“You put the hard work in and you get those results.”

Speaking about the preparation the young talent puts in, Longmuir said he wouldn’t give away any of Treacy’s specific tricks of the trade, but that the key forward is simply the epitome of consistency.

“He just does reps (repetitions),” Longmuir said.

“That’s what we talk to our players about, you’ve got to do the reps with those sorts of things, whether it's ball handling, ground ball, or all your marking, there's no quick fix with those sorts of things.

“It just takes rep after rep... So he just does the work.

“He comes in the morning, gets the ball kicked into his hands as a lot of other players do, mind you.

“it's just a consistent application to a process, and you become better at your craft.”

Fremantle will now travel to Adelaide to face the Crows in a Good Friday clash in Round 4, before returning to South Australia in Round 5 to take on the Pies during Gather Round.
