Blockquoterom when he trained with us, he’s quite a bit smaller than his dad, right?
Yes he is, but i went to see him when he trained. Hes definitely light, but has some serious skills. At one stage he actually took on Smith and dodged the tackle. He is quick on his feet and very agile. Considering who he was playing with he looked quite at home. I was worried for his safety though as the main guys weren’t going easy on him, and if a tackle did land he quite possibly would have died haha. But he surprised me at every turn and managed to evade them all.
Fletch was also training on the same day. Was a bit special to watch.
From my understanding… Gav didn’t mind which club Tex went to, as he loves both. But he said, Tex would likely choose Port Adelaide as he has barracked for them his whole life.
Mate you’re testing me now. I’ve definitely read it though. He said he’d much rather him live in Melbourne and play footy for Essendon. I think living in Melbs was a big factor.
In his open Mike interview i think said his heart lies with Essendon didn’t want leave Essendon but the pull to go home was too strong he’s thankful that he got a flag at Port otherwise he would have regreted the deccison.
Saw him in a match simulation last year(?) He was very small both in height and weight, very quick as I recall and a real terrier. Boy amongst men, he was being brushed off the ball. Accurate but not long kick. Delighted to see him having a go with the more mature body.
