Last year i stated that for Tep to go to the next level he needed to find some attitude, some real purpose, with that would come leadership on the park, a player others wanted to follow, a leader on the park.
The latter half of this year i really think Teps found a new level, a new maturity, he's leading the way out there, playing tough footy with an aggressive attitude.
In past years im not sure Teps has really known what to do with his ability, hes struggled to inject himself and play a dominating role on the park, sometimes he'd float around the park without the hunger required to make his mark.
Hes changed that this year, hes gone from being a bit of a passenger no offence to him to being a leader out there, a bloke who can lift his team mates through high energy aggressive footy.
Hes understanding his role a lot better and hes gaining a lot of confidence in himself, i can see it.
His defence has been Beau Scott like, hes getting a bit of a ruthless streak about him, hes firing up and playing with plenty of desire and purpose ive not seen him play with before.
If Tep can build on this new found attitude and desire, i believe he can turn from a good footballer to a very good one, the type of bloke other players feel confident running out next too.
Tep is a very effective player when hes aggressive, he needs to continue to work hard on it, no doubt its also infectious in the team.
So a big congrats to Tep, keep up the great work, stay aggressive and keep the attitude up, youve really come of age back half of this year.

Yep he's been great the second half of the season. I reckon the addition of Moses has really helped with his attacking game. He was causing all sorts of problems on Saturday, shame he had to go off when he did.
Huge fan
