Tex back this week

[The Sloane Ranger]

Tex looks in magnificent nick, Im not expecting his absolute best until season 2015 hwever he will have a say in games

 

[Wright Away]

Haha... wasn't really serious - wheregroomgone has got Walker in the goal kicking game this week.

Who was the player we had who played SANFL Saturday then had to back up for us on the Sunday?

Ivan Maric, he was buggered by oh 20 minutes into the 1st quarter.

When ever Tex returns to the AFL it absolutely has to be a home game.

You can't buy that kind of excitement, hype and noise.

Spot on.

They should fly that guy out that does the UFC announcements - now that would go off !

 

[PKnox]

That's exactly what I thought. I remember Rehn saying he changed the way he would land with bent knees.

What is worrying is that a lot of his marks were exactly the same way he did his knee.

I was watching Pav the other day and noticed that just about every time he took a high mark he'd land really softly and transition into a commando roll to minimize the stress on his lower body and transfer it to his torso and shoulders. Looked pretty easy and comfortable to me.

i'd start him as the sub - imagine the noise when he came on!

Nah, **** that

Just start him on the bench against Collingwood and listen to 54,000 people go nuts within the first minute or so

that works too!

If he was sub you're right there would be a huge roar when he came on, but the crowd would be frustrated and would want to see him straight away.

 

[brucetiki]

Regardless of whether you start him on the bench or as a sub, the moment he steps onto the ground there will be a massive cheer - well as massive as an Adelaide home crowd will cheer.

You do realise there's 9 other clubs equally deserving of TV coverage.

Why do people think the Crows SANFL side should have exclusive TV coverage at the expense of the other SANFL clubs?

Ironically this week's TV game is Centrals v South - the two clubs that voted against the Crows entry into the SANFL.

LOL, you can't be serious. Should be same as AFL - larger clubs with more support get more games on FTA than small clubs.

Are you suggesting more people would watch Centrals v South than would watch Crows v Glenelg. I would suggest that Crows v Glenelg with Tex playing would out rate the AFL game here in SA.

Ch 7 should only televise Port and Crows games, take it in turn each week, the other SANFL clubs get a few games a year on FTA - thats all they seserve.

Pssh, that roar is going to be nothing compared to when he kicks his first goal.

 

[Smoooothy]

yep

i remember the roar mods got when he kicked his first goal after his comeback. was as load as i've ever heard footy park

 

[The Karma Bus]

I know we have spent time getting fitter as a team, but I'm so glad to see Tex has trimmed down..
Nowhere near as big as he was, they went too far with getting him bigger..
He needed to anyway I thought, but being lighter will also assist with his knee..

 

[Scrotes2000]

Who's care has he been under and who did the operation? Any stats from recent years that show % risk of reinjury?

Can't wait for Tex to come back. But equally nervous. Feels like an eternity he's been gone. Will be holding my breath every time he goes for the ball for a while.

Im sorry, I dont care but I need to post this video again. This man is playing for us in a few weeks time. He is worth an additional 3 goals whether it be of his own boot or goal assists.

Doesn't that just get you pumped!

But gee whiz look at that crowd. 44,700 against GWS on Easter sunday, only 31,000 on a friday night for a place in a preliminary final.

I get the feeling that the move to AO will pay huge dividends for our club. Far more people are likely to go on a fortnightly basis whatever the position on the ladder than would go to the wastelands of West Lakes.

I get your sentiment and agree in principle, however the finals pricing will always mean lower crowds - even at AO I suspect

Given the abysmal attendances of Crows fans at SANFL matches, by your argument the Crows would get 0 TV games then.

So tell me why the true SANFL clubs don't deserve to have their matches televised.

too much information

 

[betterthanu]

I went to the Carlton game when he did the injury. Glenelg oval is walking distance for me but im almost scared to go watch him play again.

 

[Smoooothy]

too much information

not enough info IMO..
