Tex reminds me of a young Richo (but with talent) WTF is that? Tex is the biggest load of crap to pull on the Collingwood jumper. Richo is a gun, Walker will never, ever get near the levels of Richo, thats why Richo destroys him each time. Richo is a poor set shot, but he is a hell of lot better than Tex.

So, just to be clear, are you saying youre not a big Tex Walker fan???

Look, I've never said I thought Tex was a gun, but he certainly could be with a lot of hard work and some good management from the coaching staff. As for Richo, I'm sorry if youre a fan, but I cant think of a more overrated player wearing boots. He is a selfish sook, interested only in personal glory. You wanna talk funny? What about Richo's 100m penalty. I damn near wet myself! What a shame Presty couldnt make it hurt!

If Tex ever behaves like that I'll be among those calling for his head. Traded players like Cara & Mumbles Morrison are senior players and expected to already be capable of playing at the highest level. Tex is a 20 year old kid. As I've just said, he hasnt yet convinced me he's up to the elite level, but he has a couple of seasons to do so.

Richo is a very good mark, and can kick some good goals, but so can a hundred others. Cant see him grabbing a brownlow anytime soon, can you? Granted he did well in 96 (or 95) & '02, with 16 & 12 respectively, but his '02 votes were ALL 3's against weak sides. What good is that? Scotty Cummings has a Coleman, where's Richo's?

He's BOG 3 or 4 times a year, and unsighted the rest of the time. Not a team player. Granted, untalented is too harsh a call, but just too inconsistent.

Where were Williams, Davis, Holland and O'Bree? Did the heat get to them? Also we lack small crumbing forwards. Davis needs to be threatened with the VFL. Again. I think Lonie needs to be moved up to the half forward line. Sure we need midfielders but with Tarrant missing we were short on options up forward. Especially with Williams doing a disappearing act. And Lonie is our best kick. People may disagree with me but I said it all last year. He can kick from 50+ and he's rarely off-line. One of our most under-rated players.

On a positive note Maxwell continues to impress me as does Rowe. Cloke 3, Fanning and Heath Shaw need more experience but they'll get there. Looking forward to seeing Caracella and Davidson in action.

You are correct re this point. Tex will never be Richo, that is for sure. Richo has more natural talent.

Tex is a load of shit, ****. The shit that comes from Collingwood supporters is a joke. F/S, Trades, you expect the world from. They could win a brownlow yet you would still criticise. A great game from one of these, and its oh he could have been better, he should be dropped, he is a dud, no future, why did we pick him up?

That is very harsh. The guy has plenty of talent, and is currenlty being nurtured by the coaching staff. He could end up being the 3rd tall forward we're after.

Suddenly he kicks 2 goals within 10m of goal and he is a superstar? He did **** all for the game, yet people saw something special.

Many of us have seen something good for a while before that.

Last year, every Collingwood supporter in my section wanted him dropped, to never return, I agreed. But the fools on the net are blinded by something, I dont know what.

Fools. Just expressing our opinions.

Why do you have it in for Tex?

[Lazza]

EddieSmith, you are entitled to your opinion but that doesn't mean that you can get away insulting other Collingwood fans. I can tell you dude that I am definitely NOT a fool and have most probably seen more of Collingwood Footy Club and life than you. I think you vastly underrate Tex and hold a hidden agenda against his success for whatever demented reason. Tex will be a gun and then I guess we will have to put up with you wiping egg off your face and eating humble pie!. Then again you will most probably post here using another name to avoid getting totally embarrassed.

[35forever]

Yeah, bit harsh, I dont remember anyone calling him a superstar. My main point was how overrated Richo is. He may have some skills, but his poor kicking & utter lack of discipline negates that. I think he does Richmond more harm than good. He would probably do much better at a more succesful club. He'd have less effect on other players that way. Richmond are a team without a shred of confidence (even worse than us!) and nothing destroys the confidence of young kids quicker than being shitcanned on the field by a senior player. His prima donna antics & sheer selfishness have probably hurt the tiges more than any mistakes Frawley made. I'll bet a bucketload the tiges will do much better when he hangs 'em up or moves on. (so I hope he stays forever!).

Nothing against his personality or ability, he's supposed to be a helluva guy, but his carrying on is ultra destructive at a team like Richmond. Put him at Port or West Coast he'd be great. (although with his 30th coming up in a coupla weeks, that aint likely)

Tex has long way to go and calling him a dud or a superstar would be foolish. He is a potential star if used & trained correctly (and if he has the desire). He'll either fade away after another season or so, or grab a coupla Colemans (hey, a mans allowed to dream!).

I want 50 outta Tex this year. Couldnt have a better build for a stay-at-home FF. Let Travis & Cammy join Jason down back. We desperately need big backs to take over from Presty & Wakes.

Compared to how some players are unfairly and harshly treated by Collingwood fans, Im not harsh on Walker.

Dont like it? Maybe I dont like the shit I see here on other, better players. Deal with it cos as long as I read the total bullshit on here about some players, I will continue to attack the shittest player on the Collingwood list, Tex.

Still want to know, is it name or what? By why does Walker get treated so nicely yet the Trades and F/S selections get abused for doing more then Tex could dream of for this club?

Well, I'm too new here to be picking fights, but I'll just say that I dont make a habit of trashing Collingwood players, be they trades, F/S selections or 'serial duds', and I've never said that Tex was a superstar, so I imagine your comments are directed at someone else.

What is the 'name' thing? Is Tex related to someone at Collingwood?

[Johnson#26]

Because they are at different levels in their footballing careers. Tex is, was, and for the next year or so, will be a project player. Fair enough. He does lack, at this point in time, a football brain. C1 has been bagged in the past due to his obvious abillity back in 2002, and has since then not performed. I am one supporter who does like Clokey, and still believe he has what it takes to become an established 150+ game player. He has his obvious short comings (kicking, decision making, one dimentional etc) but the positives do outweigh the negatives. Keep him going.

I like the look of Fanning, (were gonna need a decent nickname for him) and think he could be the answer to our long term rucking woes

His nickname from the players? Pretty simple - Fanna.

I doubt he will be the answer to our rucking troubles, as Ricards, if he can stay out of the medical room, and on the field, will own that mantle.

LOL Eddiesmith!! If you think that you are not harsh on Walker by calling him the shittest player on the Collingwood list, you are in cuckooland dude. Also learn to deal with sensible responses to your posts if you want to put shit on Collingwood players here. You provoke, and you will be set right by posters like me. Get over it.

Walker is a long term prospect who has his best football yet to come. He is not an instant champion, the type you seem to crave for at Collingwood.

In Collingwood faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't. If you want to live among the shadows, go right ahead but dont harshly comment on those like me who choose to see the light.

You remind me of the eunuch in the harem - he knows how
its done - he sees it being done every night of the week, but he will never
do it for himself.

Nice of the players to choose Fanna over...say Fanny.

My point is, this same optimism and positive shit towards Walker is not the same towards others.

So im not allowed to attack Walker, but people are allowed to write off Cam after a handful of very handy performances? Makes sense. Also apparently Travis will be another dud, despite not even having a chance to shine yet except for the last half of the last qtr where he was good.

All tall players Im told are project players and take longer to develop, yet Cam (less than 10 games) and Trav (0 games) are no hope and will never amount to anything? That makes sense

I dont get it, its bullshit. Ive seen more positives from the Cloke boys than Tex yet everyone else as said Tex will be great and the Clokes should all be sacked.

Its a joke

Since when did anyone ever write off Cam? I can only recall positive notes written about him.
