Be interesting to see score involvements and score assists.

If Taylor Walker, Crows Forward, kicks 1 goal he will be on 499 goals, and then interestingly if he kicks another goal he will be on 500 goals and then he will have 500 goals because 1 goal + 1 goal = 2 goals.
Taylor Walker can achieve this by kicking the ball through the goal posts twice (1+1) in this coming round.
The ball drops from his hands and connects with his foot (his foot is contained within a boot) and the force from this contact is transferred to the ball propelling it forward through the goal posts! And Walker only has to do this once, and then again, to reach 500. Isn't that amazing!
Taylor Walker is a human too. Wow!
Thanks to me for coming here and providing this very complex analysis for everyone else.

Port should look at Tredrea to repalce Finlayson. I know he is 43, but Finlayson is worse than a potato.
God i hope so if his current form holds. I have a decade long bet with my brother that he would kick more goals than Tredrea over his career. So even though i love the man its largely for selfish reasons.

I'm not comfortable with the sort of extrapolation that led to this thread.

Ah yes, was Tex the only one from the NSW scholarship program? Either way, still a bargain pick!

I’d be keen to see those stats too. I reckon Tex has more score assists than Tredrea. From recollection, Tredrea was usually the top goal scorer each week for Port. With Tex, the goals were shared around when JJ and Betts were playing together.

Tredrea is probably the second best key forward of this century, behind only Buddy. This is asinine.

I dont think anyone is saying hes better than Tredders.
I reckon Tex just keeps playing while he’s able. If his form warrants, which it absolutely has over this season and last, he keeps playing AFL. When his time has come, he fits comfortably into the SANFL team providing a huge amount of experience and leadership. I am so glad he’s got over the niggles/form slumps of 2018-20 and is again one of the best forwards in the AFL.
Tex and Sloane have been the mainstays and culture builders of the club since the Ricciuto/Goodwin/McLeod/Edwards era. I guess, the 3rd generation of Crows players to come through - in their footsteps have been Smith and Laird. Hopefully the 4th generation is built on the likes of Thilthorpe and Rachele, but that remains to be seen.
Tex’s career has been full of ups and downs. It took a while for him to earn his spot, despite his obvious talent, but his early pairing with Tippett was as exciting as has been, especially considering Danger and Sloane were as impressive coming up through the midfield. So close in that Prelim against the Hawks! Then Tippett left and the list-impacting disaster that followed topped off with an ACL early next season.
Then the second coming of Tex. The making of him? Phil Walsh as coach nominates Tex as captain. Who could’ve led a club so well through the tragedy. His partner in crime, Eddie Betts. Football smarts out of this world between the pair of them. A wonderful era which could so easily have delivered a premiership. Then the Grand Final from hell for the club and personal tragedies through the off season. Poor performances personally and team wise. A premiership contender comes undone.
Then the 3rd coming of Tex. Becoming a father. Stepping down as captain. His 2021 year and beginning to 2022 back to his best form. The racial slur which threatened to end his career just another road bump in a series of road bumps he’s had to face in his career - the difference with this one being he brought it on himself. But, you knew he’d be back. 14 years in, 498 career goals and still going strong. For all the hardships, we’ll celebrate the milestones, and 500 goals is a significant achievement. Along with Josh Kennedy of West Coast, the only current day player to also be the leading goal kicker in the club’s history. Well done Tex.

Had he not done his knee, he'd have surpassed Tredrea.
From his first game to now, I've loved watching Tex and will be really gutted when he does call it a day.
If he continues up like this though, he's got another couple of years left for me.
Nick Riewoldt?

Not fussed if you want to rank him above, but Tredrea's 2001-2004 was as good a run that a key forward has had. He gets underrated because we tend to remember late career Tredrea with shot knees, who Rutten could handle.

There were a few
Craig Bird (Sydney/Essendon) the only other significant one.
But some others such as Aidan Riley (Adelaide/Melbourne) and Nathan Gordon (Sydney/Richmond) played a few games.
That NSW team (the year Walker got drafted/year after) was probably the strongest NSW has ever been. In 2008 they used div 2 (Tassie/qld/nt/nsw) as qualification to play div 1. NSW romped it in and managed to knock off Vic Country.

We had Adan Riley and Sam Martyn. And apparently Aaron Duncan, who I don't remember at all.

When he's in form and has good lateral movement he's always been, and always will be, a joy to watch.
Considering how big he's been post-ACL he shouldn't be able to do/move the way he does.

I haven't noticed any one handed marking attempts in the past couple of years as well, something has finally clicked and he is marking everything.
His goal kicking has also gone to another level as well.
Who else is running on Mars Stadium when he gets his 500th?

By the looks you appear on this account about twice a year, so maybe save your ever so interesting thoughts about what always happens
It’s not necessary.
It's quite funny that your response proved his statement.
You think people don't lurk and not post?
Everyone knows your style of posting. Unnecessarily adversarial all the time. Just chill.
Jack Reiwolt also says high, as does Josh Kennedy and even Hawkins

If you're about 10 years old this is an acceptable opinion.
