I made that comparison about 3 years ago.
Was told I was nuts.
Besides being nuts, I'm also feeling vindicated.

I don't reckon they could
Great players for other reasons but low penetrating field kicking on the run? Haven't seen it.
Kennedy is a lovely kick of the footy,
Cameron could be anything. Absolute freak.
Not taking away from Tex, was a great play.

Nah, he cut the mullet and is still a gun.
Yeah very few key forwards could have executed that entire play from start to finish, at the end of a hard running game and under the pressure of an elimination final with a national audience watching.
I don't think Kennedy or Cameron are noted for their field kicking.

His agility for a big guy is a bit like Carey but Carey's marking was at another level.
At another level to every player who's ever lived to be fair
They're very good kicks of the football, but pinpointing a moving target? I reckon Tex has them covered easily in that regard.
His kicking style is carey

I reckon could have probably done skill wise, but he wouldn't have passed and just gone all the way him self.
Really?
I think they are very different styles of kicking actually.
Don't think I've seen anyone with as elegant a kicking style as Walker. Its like the Stefan Edberg backhand, a thing of beauty.
Carey was more brute force.
Carey's marking was ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Walker's pack marking has never been a strong point, he's not a pack crashing forward.
Tex is PM now?
Quite prophetic given few considered Tex to be our club's leader when this clip was shot.

Nice! I'm trying to work out what Tex says as he dishes the high 5.
Is it simply '* yeah'?
On another note, how smoothly did the bloke in the crowd shuffle to his left to initiate the high 5!! Very nicely done!
Maybe "* yes"?

That poor bloke's hand Tex high fived. Sore?

Who cares about being sore ? I'd be wearing a glove on that hand eternally.
