This is how retarded football has got these days...watching Tex kick an important goal in the 3rd term he double fist pumped and did a jumping high 5 to his teammate. My first thought was "I wonder how that celebration will be received around the media/fans/trolls" rather than think "what a brilliant goal!".
That is f..ked isn't it...

The discussion around his celebration in the Richmond game was when he should, or shouldn't for that matter, do it.

Does it really matter? Let the kid be himself.

I think it does matter and can be seen as reflection on his personal attitude or what he considers important.

Imo a bloke massively celebrating a goal whilst the team is comfortably losing screams an attitude of caring about his personal performance/attention over the teams performance. Whilst caring about personal importance is part of being a great team player I think there is a line where it crosses over and feels and looks like it’s more important than what the team are doing.

If it was soccer and my team were 3-0 down in the second half, we a score a goal and the bloke goes screaming down to the corner flag celebrating madly rather than picking the ball out the net and getting on with a game I would be spewing

Same is in a test match a team needs less than ten runs with 6 wickets in hand, takes a wicket and starts pulling out the aeroplane celebration past the keeper at the other end

I love a good celebration, there should be more of it in the AFL but absolutely there is a time and place.

I reckon I've heard 3 or 4 people say they don't like it, completely unsurprising that 2 or 3 of them are on here.

I like a goal celebration but he just looks stupid.
Needs to put it away and work on it first.

I love a good goal celebration especially when it makes them look like a goose

He'll be shattered to know it hasn't met your approval.

Of course he was going to celebrate and try and get some energy into the group.
Tell me the difference between his celebration and someone first pumping and yelling cmon after that?
How come no one has bagged Zak Butters for his goal and celebration against Brisbane when we were 5 goals down?
People wonder why mental health issues exist. The minority of people that didn’t like it the other week quickly got called out on social media & put in their place

This has been discussed a bit among a group of mates recently, particularly in relation to Taylor Walker. The bloke's had some hits and misses for sure as has the the club he leads, but the pounding he's copped across all forms of media (corporate and social) since the 2017 GF - At a time when the football world is trying to address the mental challenges their young men have to contend with - Sends such a poor mixed message.
