Rd 3 | The Wanganeen legacy continues
Debutant Tex Wanganeen and his dad Gavin reflect on a special two weeks.
Son of Bombers legend Gavin Wanganeen who graduated from the club's James Hird Academy in 2021. After being overlooked in the draft, Tex was invited to train with Essendon's senior side in December last year, working hard to build his fitness after injury setbacks. He was rewarded with a rookie contract four months later, remarkably making his AFL debut as medical sub in round two this season and then earning a starting position the week later.
