Well that depends. Is he made of rubber and does he go where angels fear to tread?If we’re serious about winning another premiership and having another Brownlow Medallist we need to play this bloke in the back pocket for the seniors. Brad just needs the balls of Sheeds to throw him in the deep end.
Tex Wanganeen
10 disposals, six marks, one goal
A good showing from Tex, especially on review. He was a bit stiff, because he got himself to the right spot so many times, but we were just unable to get it in his hands. As a forward pressure player, he’s always looking to improve and stay active, so definitely some good signs there.
Has gone backwards to the point that the only thing saving him would be the contract he has.
Unless he is carrying something and playing sore/injured then explains a fair bit.
Having watched the last couple of Tex's games, he is skating thin ice with his performances of late.
Will echo ant555 thoughts that he simply does not tackle enough or get involved with the match enough.
I would hazard a guess that he is carrying something because there is no zing in his step.
He was close to best on his last VFL game. Hasn't played a game for 3 weeks (played North, held over emergency, bye). Some perspective would be nice.The contract is the only thing saving him at the moment. Would not be surprised if he is paid out as there just is no improvement in key areas. Shows a moment here and there but no constant threat for me to get excited about.
He has been good the last two games. Not sure how you expect the small forwards to work in the current VFL system and he was the one today who did not give up the chase all day. Davey was much worse than him today. He also was a bit behind during pre season. I doubt they are paying him out. He was in the better players today.The contract is the only thing saving him at the moment. Would not be surprised if he is paid out as there just is no improvement in key areas. Shows a moment here and there but no constant threat for me to get excited about.
His stints in the middle have helped him get more involved. If Shiel isn't fit I'd bring him in for Weideman
Played 5 games last yearWanganeen to debut against Port and kick the winner.
Yes please. Set Power tilts to maximum.
