Taylor Walker - Worst Captain in the AFL?

[Del183359]

Hopefully it helps to carry Rossy into a new contact extension!

I with you there

 

[Laphroaig]

Nobody leads the "power stance" like Tex does though.

On the contrary. This one is far superior..

 

[jezzajay]

Has been a joke since his career started...the joke just keeps getting funnier by the day!
Compare him to Cripps from the team that will/should end up below them...stark contrast in skill, leadership and respect.

As you were Adelaide...

I liked him that time he drank that beer.

[Gene Simmons]

This thread is inacurate.... He is only half captain now

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Shannon Hurn .. the most vanilla, one dimensional excuse for a Captain ever.
I expect most of West Coast think Sam Mitchell is/was...except they don’t want to talk about that now he’s decided to leave mid contract, isn’t that the case DanWA?

Two premiership captains right there.

Well done on not understanding the thread.

That was his peak

Well done on missing my point

Apart from his funny ears, it's what he is best known for.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Should be playing in the SANFL but the Camries will never have the guts to drop him

Would rather play Fog and Himmelberg over Galoot and Joe the goose.

 

[harry000]

Biggest bogan too.

Us bogans dont want to claim him, please asign him to another group.

Outback cowboys maybe?

Yeah Fogarty is the answer that’ll fix everything......not

His Mrs would have good use for them flappers....handlebars

 

[HairyO]

How much will Tarpers love watching Burton once again school him in football...

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Not captaincy material at all, but always feel Walker has incredible talent that we just rarely see...

 

[FurTheWin]

Ah, man
Of all the Walker Brothers we had to lose...

 

[Elite Finger Twirler]

Never have I seen a player mess up at crucial points as much as this idiot does. He is also the best player in the competition at going missing in big games.

How has he been Adelaide's captain for so long? How stupid is that football club?

Question mark on the fred title was not necessary friend.

Tex’s pregame interview with Nick Dal Santo raised eyebrows. Dal Santo, one of the more polished performers in the media, made a small faux pas in referring to how Port Adelaide will play today, rather than Tex’s Crows, prompting Tex to stop dead in his tracks and sarcastically mention that he didn’t realize he played for the Power. It wasn’t a good look mere minutes before a game (Walker was literally jogging to his position in the forward line as the interview was being conducted). As if a player can be that easily distracted from the task at hand to quibble over semantics with a journalist that close to a game time. It reaffirmed a harsh personal view of Walker as a classless bogan bully nowhere near concerned about his own performance over the past two seasons.

The ensuing three quarters were even worse, as Walker had no influence on the game, whilst his direct opponent was arguably it’s most influential over four quarters. To cap off a rough day for Walker, he managed to inadvertently contribute to an ankle injury to teammate Richard Douglas, giving him a minor shove out of the way of his leading path, resulting in Douglas rolling his ankle and taking no further part in the game, just as the Crows were starting to find an energy they hadn’t got near all game.

Popular opinion dictates that Rory Sloane was appointed co-captain rather than captain in his own right as a means of limiting the blow to Walker’s professional credentials and perhaps, ego too. It’s one I agree with, and yet wonder how the ramifications of that decision will play out throughout the year. It perhaps looms as an opportunity missed for Walker to focus on his own footy rather than power stances, taking jabs at departing players and belittling journalists.

How Tex ever gets more criticism than Jenkins I'll never know. Jenkins had many chances to crash a pack, or even touch a Hawk player but chose not to. An absolute bitch that bloke is, I doubt he'd win a physical contest in the AFLW.

Fog in: Jenkins out!

 

[ford71]

I thought Tex's comment pre-game to be weird one too.

Was thinking he needs to save any aggression for the game not the bloody commentator

 

[StueyDaDew]

Crows could trade him to Carlton for another first round pick.

Didn’t he say “am I playing full forward am I?” Either way it was pretty shit by the Texan.

no it's just so cringe worthy watching him trying to act tough on the field.

Id take JJ over Tex everytime. Round 1 was more of the same from Tex from last year. We wont have the balls to do it but would love to see him **** off to the SANFL.
