2+1 year contract.. guessing someone was pulling your leg Nev.

Genuine chance of happening apparently.

Rumour is talks, and potentially offers, have happened.

Yeah 100%. Don't know how much of a chance, Walker may decide he wants to stay at the Crows, but just heard the Dees were keen.

I love this club and I have no reason to doubt our management, given it's been impeccable for a long time now.

But I would have had a very hard time reconciling getting Walker to the club, no matter how good a player he is or how badly we need another established key forward.

Thank goodness that is off the table now. The man is a cultural cancer. He can enjoy his empty trophy cabinet at Adelaide.

Thank christ. One less geriatric that gets bandied on these boards to put up with.

Haha of course. Would have been surprised if he didn't stay a 1 club player, but thought a slightly longer contract might have tempted him. For reference, the rumour came directly (not directly to me though) from the team bus after the Geelong game.

There was no team bus…

‘Nev’ I quoted your post in it’s entirety. The selective quoting was in relation to when you deleted parts of another posters larger post to suit your narrative. No need to get your knickers in a twist.

I also heard a rumour from a bus driver once - but when the bus went below 50 the bomb didn’t explode, so me, Keanu and Sandra just got off at our stop.

I thought I saw footage of Bowey getting into his car and driving himself there. Would make sense so as to minimise spread of covid, flu, fan gossip, etc

Sorry, who’s getting outraged by trivial stuff?

Wait, what?

 

YOU were outraged by the trivial matter of Tex having a crack at Lever for leaving, and considered it a "strike" for which he was given a chance to come back from.

 

Take a look at yourself mate. Laughable.

Was there a specific reason why he lost the captaincy? Or was it just a decision made to 'focus on footy'?

Sorry layzie, I don’t know and to be honest I don’t care. It is my hope that this thread closes so that his name is not a focus on DL anymore. Of course that is just my bias that the MFC and TW should never be spoken of in the same sentence (like I just did……spit!)

I realise you're only being serious*, but there are problems with this scenario.

1.  He can't play for us this year so won't be part of 2022's back to back.

2.  If he plays in our 2023 premiership team, we would have gone back to back to back.

3.  If we don't win it this year but go back to back in 2023 and 2024, Tex will be about 45 years old by then.

It's all too difficult to envisage and therefore unlikely for mine.

* This post is equally as serious.

Maybe stone was meaning the threepeat?

I said it was an “incident”. Do you know what “incident” actually means? It’s something “incidental”. Would you have liked me to call it a “happening”? An “occurrence”? A “whoopsy”?

It was a slightly-newsworthy incident (and remember, incident doesn’t have to mean “big deal”) of a captain publicly potting (twice, mind you) an ex-player for changing clubs. That’s all. I wasn’t “outraged” by it. Just another dumb-arss feather in his dumb-arss cap. But as is typical of you lot (people who think anyone who has a problem with Tex Walker is an “activist”), you’re far more eager to be outraged than anybody, but the hypocrisy is absolutely lost on you.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
