Review Good vs West Coast, R13 2023

[Scorpus]

He ****ing kicked 10 in his 250th.

What a legend of the club, Tex

 

[Redleg Crow]

Got the percentage boost. Got the 10 goals. That’s it

 

[jamesclean]

Love the bloke

 

[Rotayjay]

Tex, the club man through and through, got what he deserved. Congratulations Taylor!

[I Lost My Keays]

Beautiful game by Tex
Great percentage booster
Huge respect from the Eagles to line up after the game to pay respect to Tex

 

[Rotayjay]

Next: get Tex a premiership somehow before he retires.

 

[Crow till I die]

Got the percentage boost. Got the 10 goals. That’s it

Just short of ports % by 0.5% now. Not bad for a side with 4 less wins

Tex. What a legend. A genuine human - strengths, weaknesses, successes, mistakes. Ultimately a wonderful footballer - a much deserved 10!

Last week I posted that despite frustration we shouldn't go too negative after the Darwin loss, and that it'd be important to not go over the top with praise if we won handsomely today.

And here we are. That was a glorified training drill. But fun to watch.

7W 6L 116% at the bye. Take that? Yep.

Whether we snag a finals spot or just miss, we've got half a season of really important footy for the squad in its trajectory - some good matchups at home, 3 important away games in Melbourne (finally) that are all building blocks.

Still a lot for our coaches to sort out too. Namely, midfield/ruck/CB in general.

You still wear purple though.

King's Birthday weekend and King Tex has a party.
Love it.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Our biggest run was 7 goals. Not even WC let us get 9 in a 20 goal rout

Great: Tex10

Ugly: Shit discipline many times

Rankine I'm not happy with.

Rankine I'm not happy with.

Agreed needs to calm down a bit.

 

[ep2018]

Too good. Congrats Tex on his ten goals, enjoy the win. The percentage you gained hopefully helps you keep freo out of the top 8.

Centre personnel

 

[Scorpus]

Have to feel a bit for West Coast, the side they put out there was embarrassingly bad and they had to switch their best player to defense after a few quarters.

Really not much they could do

 

[Slippery Pete]

Tex might not be the greatest Crow of all time, but he’s the most loveable Crow of all time. That includes his ability, his personality, his character and his loyalty.

Only the Adelaide board’s biggest knobs will disagree with this.

 

[crowholder]

An awesome win. Great 10 goals by Tex on his 250th. On a side note, not that WC are in the top 5, but we have won 3 against the top 5, as it sits...with one narrow loss against the Pies and a win to come, hopefully against the Dees.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Glad we didn't rest Tex for the Geelong match and gave Tex his 250th at home against the WCE.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Great result for the Texan.

Means nothing in terms of our season. West Coast are Sanfl quality.

Can't do anymore but play the team in front of you though.

Pies in 2 weeks the real test.

Imagine going back three years and saying "In mid 2023 Tex is going to kick 10 on Adelaide Oval".

Would've thought you were referring to a Slowdown Charity match.

What a remarkable and brilliant turnaround.
