Sloane yes.
Walker I think, might go one more. Hopefully, we manage him a bit more and find a semi competent forward coach.

Tex is doing more than enough to go on again - no question. He certainly has his loud detractors (or at least one prominent one) who constantly belittle the great man. But both his ongoing leadership/heart and soul status and game smarts like taps ons, positioning, “spikes” from marks etc make him so much more valuable than just his goals and goal assists.
IMO he is more important and reliable than Fog to our chances this year. You would imagine 2026 would be his last but who knows.
Not sure how anyone could not love Tex, one of the games most sublimely skilled talls we have ever seen. HE is our player I most hope gets a flag before retiring. It would be justice.

Watching Tex get a premiership medal would make a grown man cry of joy.

24th in the AFL for Goals. 6th in the AFL for Goal Assists.
Astounding that some have expressed he shouldn't be in our best 22.
Will be massive to have him in our side during the finals.

Another one of my posts that aged well......
I think you raised a more than reasonable question at the time. Tex and the team struggling with no realistic chances for finals.
It’s others views from this year despite all the evidence to the contrary - regularly rammed down our throat - that he is too old, selfish and shouldn’t even be playing this year that are much more inappropriate.
From memory there was even a joke opinion that Sam Draper could effectively offer up as much as Tex next year as a tall forward based on a grand total of 7 goals in 5 games! Absolutely bloody ridiculous comparing the great man who averages 2.3 goals per game over his brilliant career to reverse-checkside Draper kicking 7 goals in 2025 (and averaging 0.55 goals per game over his career). Thank God Draper ain’t coming here

Hey WetCrow1991 - how you feeling about walker?
Did a search - your last 30 posts containing Walker over the past 2 months have all been extremely negative bagging him. Just like you bagged him in 2024 and in 2020.
How you feeling about his season?

I reckon the burning desire to redeem himself for 2017 and win a premiership is at least part of the reason he has played so long. Never underestimate the power of the mind. Let's get him the flag he deserves.
Definitely deserves his spot. Playing great.
If we win the flag, should go out on top which would be incredible. If anyone deserves it, it’s Tex.
If we fall short, does he get 1 more year and only play home games? There’s probably 4-5 players needing to be delisted by years end as it stands.

Mate - there are about 15 blokes I would turf to give Tex another year.
Form has picked up a bit recently. Was struggling for a while there. Should be his last year imo.

You brought the best out of Tex.
Still believe we should be managing him for more games to extend his career.

Glad I didn't post on this, because I would've said yes to both
They have no idea and are absolute **** Witt's. They have been a bit quiet lately but if we don't win the flag you can be sure they'll be back out saying its because of Tex
There is a fair bit of context that needs to be included here. To be fair, Tex had a run of shit games. We were losing and questions had to be asked. Doesnt make us wrong it makes us critical of his form at that time. Just like living off the now doesnt make you right either.
He wasn't our only key forward to have a run of average games but he was the one copping it. Same goes for the people calling for Milera to be dropped hahaha no ****ing idea, are they glad we got games in to him now?
He was copping it because of his age. I agree with Milera though, that was our usual bigfooty bad call. Had a terrible run at that really. Im as guilty as most. But I always at least preface my posts with Im happy to be proved wrong. At the end of the day its all about success and we want the same thing.
