I think he had a pretty good game on Kangaroose but im still wondering his posision in the team. He will either be played forward, back or ruck. I would rather have him playing forward.
 
Backline in the long run. However it is hard to find a matchup for him. He needs to play forward ATM with Richards and Fraser out which pulls C.CLoke out of the forwardline and in to the ruck.
He had a lacklustre game against Kangas IMO. His oponent (Colbert) had a shocker and Tex didn't get many kicks directed to him but then again he played a bit further up ground (meeting the ball) and didn't lead that much deep in the forward line.
 
With Richard's and Rogan out it has given Tex a great oppurtunity to find what position he's gonna hold down. I think he has the versatility to play both ends.
 
without rocca....tarrant is the main focus....put walker down forward..deepp.....to take a bit of pressure off forward...and for his size..needs to throw his weight around more to help taz

Did you watch the game on Friday night? Walker was terrible. Did absolutely nothing when we needed him most when Rocca went down. He's not up to AFL standard and needs to be sent down to Willy quick smart.
 
i dont agree Peter, needs to stay in the one's....who will come in for him? besides Trav Cloke, who will replace Rocca, there is no-one

i'm assuming Richards and Josh wont play this week???

our backline is going ok at the moment, play him as a forward for few weeks, or just keep him for the versatile roles....would rather see him play that than Maxwell

We must have been at different games
 
Ineffective in the second half but he wasnt our worst player. Forced back into the goalsquare, a position that doesnt suit him. His job was mainly to keep the forward line open for Tarrant, and he did that. Needs to be the third tall forward to be effective until he gains more experience.

Bad game but no way would I drop him.
 
His only avenue tto success IMO, is to learn a defensive apprenticeship under Wakelin.

He has the physical attributes to become a good defender and who better to learn the craft off than the best defender in the comp at the minute?!

Ruck; cleearly no. Forward; you'd have to say not a natural, which I think effectively means no. Midfield; just thought I'd throw that one in for a giggle.

Reasonably good skills. A bit ******* at times. Quite athletic, tall and mobile. Low football intelligence, but improving. Has "KP Defender" stamped on his forehead!!
 
Medium term, Tex at FB and Cam at CHB with Maxwell on a flank.

Up forward, Trav at CHF, Tarrant at FF and Josh on a flank.
