I think its time to add a "Comedy" board to this site, if only to give threads like these a safe space.

Tex is another selfish pseudo leader. Always demanding the ball, loathe to share it when he has it and his first instinct no matter where he is in the forward line is to take a pot shot for goal.

There might be a safe space at Uncle's manor if you ask nicely ding

My personal opinion was that Rockliff was the worst captain in the AFL and when he moved to Port that mantle was handed to TEX. you just have to look at the way he handled the Lever situation to see he's a very immature leader. likes throwing his weight around but doesn't know when or how to do it, and that filters into his game

He kicked 43 goals this year including 5 in round 23. What did our leading goal kicker end up with this year?

Sad thing is he'd still be a better option than Weideman, T Smith, Petty, O Mac and whoever else has graced our atrocious forward line this year.

I love it how we're quick to bag blokes like Walker even though we have the worst forward line in the AFL.

 

Seriously, how would you think Tex would have gone with the same delivery forward that our guys got?  No better I suspect.

The slowest u-turn in footy since Mick Nolan.

Ben Holland? ?

It's almost time for a new recruit from Adelaide FC.

What say we look at Taylor Walker for a few years?

D3564 - are you thinking for his “leadership”, his diplomacy or his dummy spits? 

[P-man 13,366]

He’s been woeful this year. 43 goals sounds okay but his selfishness has gone up a notch, he’s slow as treacle, and while he’s never been a great contested player that part of his game is just embarrassing now. 

The only thing that hasn’t dropped off is his field kicking which is still elite.

He should just retire to be honest. His best days are well behind him.

It’s an emphatic no by the way.

Jonno vs Tex as some here, particulary Rangey are wetting their pants over the posibility of getting the general.

Just stood down from the Adelaide captaincy.

Best move they could make going forward I reckon.  Up there with the worst leaders in the comp.

Who will be the next Captain to step down. Hint. Not really a question.

2nd in the entire league for goal assists in 2016, 1st in 2017. 20th last year and in 2015 and 27th this year. There are plenty of things to pot Walker over in terms of his leadership style and inability to impact big games or for his current run of inconsistency, but you can't pot him for not sharing the ball and taking pot shots.

Indeed. He has had a bad year and comes across as a thick yob. But if you haven't seen Tex play well and can't see his strengths then I question how many non-demon games you watch.
