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.

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.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
