Does anyone know if Taylor Walker is out of contract at the end of the year?

Because if so I really think Melbourne should offer him a good contract for him to come to Melbourne. That would mean we have two key forwards for the next ten years!!!

    Disagree. A good young KPF who is only going to get better. Regardless, he will perhaps require us to give up too much to get him to the dees anyway

    Agree, but I think Jurrah will do what he can do better. I'd prefer a bit of a harder nut type forward.

    You got one thing right, he's young. But... is he really a KPF??? Apart from Tippett (and even he's a ruckman/forward), do Adelaide have a real key forward??? Porplyzia perhaps?? Certainly not Walker!!!

    Um... why would we need to give too much for the dud that is Walker??? Geez, we could easily trade a Clint Bartram for Taylor Walker I reckon. And that's not a blight on Clint, but he's certainly no "superstar" in the making nor a real absolute "required player" at Melbourne (just like Walker).

    Sorry... wholeheartedly have to disagree - Walker isn't much chop at all right now.

    Talented KPP don't grow on trees. And he is that. Remember that he is only 20 years old (a year older than Watts) and may have a lot of development left in him.

    There are stories out of Adelaide that he is a bit of a hero. Also that he is not happy with Neil Craig.

    I would hope that the club would try to speak to him and at least do due diligence. He has good hands, is a good size and contary to some beliefs has very good skills. If his head was right he would definitely be worth a long hard look.

    I need to go and headbutt something now for allowing myself to be drawn into this.

    Why would he leave Adelaide?

    I hear Ablett is out of contract at the end of the year, Melbourne would be stoooooooooopid not to make him an offer.

    Reckon we should go after Shaun McKernan.

    Is being played CHF to accommodate Tippett at Adelaide. Really he's a natural FF goal kicker and I think he'd kick 50 in a year at full forward for us. Also with his size he'd take the heat of Jurrah.

    If he's attitude is ok and he wants out of Adelaide I'd chase him hard.

    Agree .

    He ticks all the boxes - young , agile , good kick , strong , senior experience , not an on - baller ; what's not to like?

    1. The fact that he would cost us an arm and a leg and hasn't proven enough to warrant a large price tag

    2. Adelaide wont want to get rid of him, especially with all their retirements

    3. He hasn't indicated that he wants to leave Adelaide

    You can like him as much as you want, but he will be wearing an Adelaide jumper next year while you are doing so.

    I'd like a big forward who can play That Cam Mooney type role. Powerful & robust with a bit of mongrel about their game.

    Your Mushroom Records line on another thread was much better.

    I was about to suggest the same thing. I've always liked the look of the lad and I think there are worse options than trying to grab him on the cheap before he's had a chance to show himself at senior level. He hasn't played a game yet has he?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
