Quality of the man
They’ll certainly be ramming it home next year
There’s actually some merit to suggest Tex is the best forward in 2023.
Tex has 76.34 in 22 games, with Curnow having 78.41 in 23 games. Tex having the better goal average and better kicking accuracy.
Then if you delve deeper with the analysis, a look at the major goal scorers for Crows vs Blues (I’ve only included forwards with at least 1 goal average per game):
Crows
Tex 76.34
Rankine 36.17
Fog 34.23
Pedlar 25.15
Rachele 23.25
Keays 22.19
RT 18.9
McAdam 12.4
Blues
Curnow 78.41
McKay 27.25
Owies 25.12
Silvagni 14.12
Durdin 11.7
This roughly translates to Tex having ~ 28% focus of the forward targets, while Curnow gets ~ 47%.
Curnow being the benefactor of being his team’s main focus, while with the Crows, the goal scoring is shared much more evenly among the forwards.

Let's get him a premiership to go with it.
It was on the Fox Footy coverage, so should be available on catchup, happened just after the team was announced

Tex should absolutely have been in the team in 2015 considering what happened that season and how he got the team through it.

When a lot of players around his age are retiring, Tex at CHF in the 2023 All-Australian side is a great achievement. Tex's inclusion ends a 5-year drought for Crows' players since Laird in 2018.
It's a helluvan achievement for Tex to have his best Season @ age 33 after 16 Seasons no less, 76 goals and all-time goalkicker for the Club, with multiple goal assists and invaluable leadership on and off field.
All hail, Tex Rex. Long may he reign!!

Should be one thread for the both of them!

Looking back, I might be wrong, but it looks like he's added 5-10m to his L-hand kick in the last few years.
Some of our forwards can't kick that far on their natural foot and not with Tex's kind of accuracy.
That candy-selling goal around Aliir was a pearler.

McLeod; also the best player I've seen to never win a Brownlow.
