Where is Texas exactly, sounds like a piss-weak joke of a place, got the feeling it’s near Mt Gambier, but maybe it’s that truck stop on the Bruce Hwy south of Rocky? Anyone?

I thought that much was obvious? Wasn't there a photo of him and Riewoldt floating around of a post fisting session?

Texas is basically the whole state of WA.
It's farken big, it's dry and hot, football-mad, full of yokels and cowboys, dominated by the resources industry and is always threatening to secede....

Only steers and queers come from Texas.
Mason doesn't look much like a steer, so that narrows it down.

Player #35 - Patrick Lipinski
Pictured: Gray Rohan, who like Lipinski didn't really play in the 2021 finals series either
Patrick Lipinski is a lifelong Bulldogs supporter who, weeks after attending the 2016 AFL Grand Final, was drafted by the Bulldogs and lived with Marcus Bontempelli.
Rated by Josh Bruce as the best kick inside 50 on the Bulldogs list, he has been unable to cement his place in the Bulldogs side and has decided to move to a team where it's much much easier to get a game.
Along with his elite footskills he has a large tank and regularly racks up 35+ disposals at VFL level as well as hitting the scoreboard.
So why isn't he getting more senior games at the Bulldogs you ask?
Pace. The guy is so slow his nickname at the club is 'vaccine rollout'. His full pace running is on par with the first half of trade period - drawn out, not much happens, and not quite getting where anyone wants. Since the start of 2020 all Bulldog running sessions have been schedule for mornings because if an afternoon session is scheduled than Lipinski runs the risk of breaking curfew by the time he's done.
His tackling needs a bit of work, in the same way the Adelaide Crows' pre-season camp 'could have been a little better'. This makes him a defensive liability in the middle so he gets shifted to being an outside player or a forward, where his opponents run off him at every opportunity. He can do most other things well, so in some ways he's kind of like Bontempelli if you ordered him from Wish - a vague resemblance to what you ordered, but just not quite right.
Only seen once after round 11, Lipinski managed to play 9 games this year, managing over 20 disposals three times. He was then rested and dropped a few times as well as being named the medical sub at least once.
He is expected to get to his preferred destination, Collingwood, by the end of trade week where he will become the second highest paid Bulldogs player on their books.
As an aside, given their report on institutional racism I applaud the 'new' Collingwood's commitment to diversity by paying for players at more than one club.
Patty, 'Monica', good luck next year. Welcome to the Bottom 50 for 2021.

Hey Mof, if I wanted to look at something bitter and Victorian I would head to the slab pallet at Dan Murphy’s for a carton of Victor Bravos, not read your post on Lipinski.

Monica for Lipinski is one of my favourite nicknames in the AFL.

He was definitely robbed of 'mark of the year' and now looks likely to sign with the Bulldogs
Good luck next year
He'll probably end up playing some useful footy for the Doggies after we spent an eternity waiting for him to show us something.

WA is almost four times the size of Texas. Just sayin.
So, when an American tells you they've got a big one, smirk.

Player #34 - Sam Petrevski-Seton
Pictured: SPS is clearly not a fan of deodorant
Sam Petrevski-Seton, SPS, is a Carlton first round draft pick who was actually taken directly by Carlton, not via GWS.
Nominally a midfielder, SPS has been tried in every conceivable position except in a hotel room with Ricky Nixon. He just hasn't worked out in any them.
Carlton took SPS with pick 6 in the draft year of 2016, the greatest year of football in the game's history. Much like a Richmond mature aged draftee he's been threatening to break out for years now but just hasn't done it.
This year SPS has been tried a little bit forward and mostly back with minimal success, despite Carlton's glut of overpriced traded in flankers. He managed a meh-inducing 15 odd disposals in his 13 games this year, only once managing over 20 touches and even that was against a Gold Coast Suns outfit that can only tenuously be called a 'team'. 11 of those games were in the 22 and a couple of games he was named as the medi-sub so after all the years of developing a pick 6 he's not in Carlton's long term plans.
He's currently on the trade table to a West Coast Eagles team that is treading water so pathetically that if they were on the Titanic when it sank that selfish bitch Rose would have shifted over slightly to let them on the piece of drifting door she managed to commandeer.
SPS at the very least has an interesting back-story. He didn't learn English until age 15 after growing up in remote WA, although he now speaks the language better than half of the AFL's accredited journalists. He lists among his hobbies 'competitive bull-riding' becoming only the second AFL player to pursue this hobby, after Brent Harvey.
SPS good luck next year back in WA and welcome to the Bottom 50 for 2021.

Late to the party, but that Jenkins write up might be in the top 5 over the last few years.

We should do a poll of everyone's favourite entry from over the years. God knows there will be at least a few more fortnight breaks between entries ...
Too much realism here.
This may be too subtle for the bay
