    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    • 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.

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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?
