Another moment from the game.

We're up by about 78 points at the time- after he takes the mark that leads to his goal with 3 minutes left in the last quarter, as he's walking back he starts yelling out to Eddie who's standing nearby day dreaming and on my lip reading says something like 'what are you doing'.

Eddie then seems to wake up and starts directing players / gets towards the goal square himself in case it fell short.

That's some leadership right there. He could have been forgiven for focusing on his own set shot, and he could have easily just formed the view that it didnt matter at this point yet instead he stayed on his team mates back insisting that we do everything right right down to the final siren. Not a junior player either, a star in his own right.

Oh captain my captain.
Had great seats at etihad last night and could hear Walker at one stage absolutely screaming at others in the forward line to get into different positions. They moved pretty quickly. Had real authority, which I just never really imagined him to have. It's hard to tell in TV. He seems quite passive.

This would be why there were questions over his leadership earlier in the year. Because media are only watching vision and looking at stats. He's easily the best distributor forward of centre in the league. He should be AA CHF but I'd be surprised if he is.
 
That is one quality highlights package. Leading, crumbing, snapping, handballing, bombing it from 60. And leading by example.

The only disappointment from me is he has missed a few set shots lately. It is almost as if he doesn't want to dominate. Eddie is a bit the same. Too team orientated?

He wasn't even in the 8 or so players from us that were talked about as possibilities in the AA squad from the AFL website.

If Tex can have a game like that, it would be very freakin sweet! Even half those stats, 6 goals and 20 possessions would be a very nice game to see from Tex.
Didn’t he have 22 possessions and 10 marks, that’s a decent game.

It's puzzling as to where he's been for the last couple of years. That's the performance level we know he's capable of. Every week please Tex.

Every week?

Who has ever played at that level every week

He was immense though
 
Kris Massie certified weirdo. Why is he bestowing his opinion at every opportunity? Or are we just a little obsessed with him now.

Bean sprouts and crystals seem to be his main area of interest.
