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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
