Originally from Cohuna, a dairy farming area in the north of Victoria, Treacy played for the Cohuna Kangas in the Central Murray Football and Netball League and the Bendigo Pioneers in the NAB League Boys Under 18s competition. In 2020, Treacy was named to co-captain the Pioneers, but the season was cancelled due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]

He was recruited by Fremantle with their first selection, 7th overall, in the 2021 rookie draft.[2] He has been named to make his AFL debut in the fourth round of the 2021 AFL season. He played for Fremantle's reserves team, Peel Thunder, in the West Australian Football League (WAFL) during the pre-season, and was suspended for two games for striking former Fremantle player Brady Grey during one of the games. Due to a misalignment of the WAFL and AFL season, the two week suspension was initially thought to be effectively four weeks, until the AFL made a ruling that the suspension to play for Fremantle for shall be considered as two weeks of the AFL season, not the WAFL season.[3]
