4 minutes into the game and some poor Sandringham kid has already done an ACL, footy sucks sometimes

Tex comes of the bench and bang wins a classy clearance and kicks long inside 50 to a leading player and leads to the first goal of the game

If Dodorro can nab Tex, then give him a statue.

QT and Tex finished with 5 disposals playing as first midfield rotation from the bench so didn’t have a massive amount of game time. Very slick mover with good speed and agility and his hands are very clean/one touch player.

Hopefully he gets more game time next quarter or can rotate forward.

Very little game time from Tex that quarter, managed to add another two touches and a clearance to go with a tackle and nice hip and shoulder. Was moved forward late so hopefully he can spend more time on the ground in the 2nd half.

Tex ended the game with about 10 disposals and would have played about 55% game time.

He left a good impression and played almost exclusively as a midfielder but see him becoming more of a flanker/wingman at the next level.

He got some freebies at the academy launch.

It’s funny because this looks nothing like Joe, but looks EVERYTHING like Josh

Is Nyawi Moore playing NAB league this season @THE_DON1?

Yep and for Bendigo, keen to see how he goes as he showed some good promise last year.

wow, we may need a hell of a lot of points in 2021

What Tie did he wear though??? That’s what matters …

2021 draft is looking very strong especially in the first round, I find both Tex and Moore promising but wouldn’t have them close to top 30 yet for that years draft.

me either, but im still thinking we are going to need to turn our 3rds into a lot of 4ths.

Dont sleep on Breyben Tipiloura, he’s really promising also.

Now I just had to double take when I got home, a kid for Oakleigh in the 16s raised my eyebrow and his name was Alwyn Davey. Thought it must have been a coincidence that he shared the same name because ‘jr’ wasn’t included so it’s another kid but having another look and they have the exact same birthdate.

Maybe you can help confirm it’s actually young Alwyn Davey jr, he is listed as playing for Xavier/Ashburton

Round 4 picks are worth ■■■■ all in terms magic fairy dust points

what did he look like?

dont ask me to tell them apart
