Out of interest, what was the media's obsession with potting Walker. What did he actually do wrong to get them offside??
He had been hinting he would step down for several weeks now, I believe.Wonder if this was the opinion of the playing group and he was pushed via feedback from the review.
I think he was the point man for the 'pre-game power stance' furore which the media went with. Unfortunately
Was the Captain in our shocking Grand Final. Being Captain unfairly dropped most of the blame on his head.Out of interest, what was the media's obsession with potting Walker. What did he actually do wrong to get them offside??
So nothing really.
It became a game to just bash him.
Such a pointless thing to get wound up about.
Is it also because he didn't get on stage after the grand final and blow smoke up Reiwoldt and Martin's ass???

Says a lot about the media....Says a lot about the club that Walker is burnt out on captaincy by recent events, when compared with the totality of his captaincy.
Anyway, the forthcoming Smith/Talia(VC) reign is an opportunity for a new beginning.
Richmond supporters are a vindictive bunch.
Yeah the speech was fine and was like most others. Thanked what he needed, was understandably a bit grumpy, that's it. It fit in with them being able to jump on him. Rowdy Roddy Peeper: but listen to the music Marge, he's evil.Yeah, it was very weird - suddenly everybody hated Tex for some reason.... Almost happened overnight.
Couldn't give two fu**s about the speech, I'd have been happy if he got on stage and said 'fu** Richmond, fu** Martin and most of all fu** Richo'. In fact, I'd have preferred it.
Shame he didn't deck Lever where he stood...Probably. I remember his post-GF speech and short and sweet but I don't remember it being disrespectful. Someone on here a while back mentioned that they heard a rumour that Tex and Lever had a push and shove in the rooms in half-time
Bloke copped an absolute unfair shellacking from the media and opposition fans. Hope he kicks a bag next year! Love the man!

God damn that bottom photo is delicious.
It's like James Dean had a baby with Christopher Reeevs who then grew up and
Mated with Robocop.
deaneus, I know what you're trying to say --- the "O Captain, my Captain" thing.
Most said he wasn't "articulate" with the media.Out of interest, what was the media's obsession with potting Walker. What did he actually do wrong to get them offside??
Nailed it . Authentic.the Texan was a natural leader and authentic
And let his natural aggression out!Free from the shackles of AFC captaincy, Tex can now re-enter the wild, regrow a glorious mullet, and kick a bag of goals.
