Unless you were one of the few people who actually got to see the one pre-season training session that was available to watch in full over this pre-season, Tex was the absolute standout in terms of leadership! The club has kept pretty much every other training session in full mostly behind closed doors! They have put the warm up ish bits out in view but game simulation etc has been on Football Park itself and away from prying eyes of the public and other clubs.
I got to see that session and Walker's voice on the track was a level above Dangers, and I never noticed Sloane at all really. Both Danger and Tex were taking time to assist their other teammates, but again Tex's presence and the way he was interacting with the others are a complete class above. At any other club Danger would be the standout I bet. Tex also has the form in influencing team mates in a game more than the others. Danger and Sloane have tried last year and didn't quite manage it, but Tex did it when he was younger and in an Elimination final.
People see the slow country boy who talks like a drongo and miss that he is incredibly quick witted, one of the best football brains going around.
Nikki, was that training session before or after the announcement?
Cos it's great if before, but should be the norm if after.
