Fremantle superstar Josh Treacy has produced a touching tribute to Jai Arrow amid the former NRL star’s battle with motor neurone disease.
Treacy marked his first of three goals in the Dockers’ comeback 28-point win over Port Adelaide on Saturday with the bow-and-arrow move which has been seen widely across both of the country’s major football codes in recent weeks.
On social media, the Dockers promptly posted a video of the key forward promising he would perform the celebration at a children’s community clinic last week.
And later in the game, another Dockers forward in Pat Voss also opted for the move.

Arrow made the heartbreaking announcement of his diagnosis with the terminal and neurodegenerative disease in May, forcing an immediate end to his NRL career.
The father-of-one, who turned 31 on Sunday, played 178 top-grade games for Brisbane, Gold Coast and South Sydney and had been with the Rabbitohs since 2021.
The NRL have christened this month as ‘Jai July’, with players encouraged to celebrate with an arrow gesture after running in tries.
And while just about every rugby league player has got in on the act, some of their AFL counterparts — including Treacy, Sydney’s Tom Papley and St Kilda’s Jack Higgins — have also given Arrow some cross-code support.
Earlier this year, Arrow tossed the coin at The Big Freeze between Melbourne and Collingwood, which was started by the late Neale Daniher after the legendary AFL player, coach and administrator was diagnosed with the disease in 2014.
