Tex Walker

[1990crow]

He's pretty good. Would like to see go close to a Coleman before calling him a gun though

If he hadn't missed 6 games he would have won by a country mile (with Franklin missing).

 

[loki04]

Better than Modra.

Not even close to mods in full flight.

When Walker kicks 140+ goals in a season then come talk to me.


Very good game and will be/is a very good player Walker and can only improve.

 

[loki04]

The Crows need more than Walker kicking 5 to win the game. Hawks have the firepower to seriously dish it up to them.

Exactly look at our last game Cloke kicked 6 and we still lost.

Hes only 0.4 of a goal per game behind Buddy this year, and 0.1 more than him when Franklin was 22 years old

Favourite player. Oh wait, P. Dangerfield plays for us. But so does Tex Walker. And yet P. Dangerfield is pretty awesome too?

 

[pablo668]

Very good player I think. I was puzzled as to why they kept Silvagni on him, not that I could think of who else to put on him.......maybe Johnson but even then......

 

[mysainters]

Ross on SEN said no error made in leaving Silvagni on him, said whoever was on him would of been torn apart as the pressure had eased further up the ground.

Still the guy had one more mark inside 50 than the whole Freo forward line as a collective.

Stubborn guy, which is his strength and his weakness.

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

never heard the mullet speak before....his aggots must hang near his knees.



Great game though

Damn that made me laugh, makes the hangover hurt

AFL's Simple Jack.

 

[topher_gtr]

I really liked that stupid 50m penalty he gave away The look on his face was gold

 

[MightyBlackDucks]

Wow...

Talk about making a name for yourself in finals. That piece of play where he took on five players and gave Tippett the easiest goal he's ever kicked should be on every Adelaide highlight reel.

Top player.

Good player just needs to chase more often and work a bit harder

 

[King Elvis]

What gifts would they be?

He does endurance training with the midfield group.

He's ~193cm, around 95kgs and very strong.

Aside from Franklin and Goodes, who are freaks, he's comparable to the other two.

AFL's Simple Jack.

Who's the Peter Griffin look-a-like?

Walker>Dangerfield, Paddys a bit overrated.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Good to see Tex getting some plaudits....

Is one of the most prodigious players running around in an AFL jumper.

Given he is only 22.... Could end up as good as Carey/Brown...

Walker=Dangerfield. You guys wouldn't have made a play for him if he was overrated. He's in the top ten players in the AFL now.

 

[mulz]

tex was great last night, the kid could be anything, its great to see some big young forwards like tex and darling coming thru in the AFL.

shoenmakers cops alot of unfair flak on here, the kid is much improved.

tex had a stinker against the hawks this year. got killed. i honestly think that game was the turning point for him, he has really worked hard on his game since then.

 

[AG]

Enough with the Schoenmakers shit guys. Thread is about Walker, so please keep the mullet and them ears on topic.

 

[rayven]

You think Modra was better than Dunstall, Lockett, Hudson, Coventry and Coleman? Besides, the Pele of this game would be Matthews, a mid/forward that kicked loads. I'd.

You obviously didn't pay attention to Pele, he's the Modra of that game. However circumstances worked out for him.

 

[Sub_Zero]

Good player but he sounds like a dumb bogan

Walker had a great last couple of minutes of the 2nd quarter & 2nd half.

If the Crows are to win next week he'd need to have a great game, ie the entire game, and kick the set shoots in the first half and not give away stupid 50m penalties (again).

Also need Tippett to do... something. Take a contested mark (or 5) inside 50 and kick a goal(s) that isn't a gift from Walker would be nice. If it's to be his last (or 2nd last) game for the club it would be nice to get some return for the hundreds of thousands of $ we have paid the guy.

Reading that Luke Thompson may stand Buddy Franklin next week is going to give me nightmares. Why did Talia have to get injured? We need Bock, Davis or even Sellar back. We are now down to our 5th choice CHB who has played 12 H&A games and 1 final.

 

[BACCS]

Great Player
Proves how good T Richards has been this year.

Richards got good assistance from our poor ball use and Tex's poor goal kicking last week. Only need to go back to round 6 where Tex kicked 5 straight on Teddy and was 2nd best on ground behind Danger.

Sellar over LT? WTF are you smoking? Bock and Davis would have been good to have, but Sellar?!

 

[blues4flag]

Can't help but think Fevola every time I see him play. Very similar types. Great on the lead, good above his head and extremely dangerous at ground level. He's something special and great to watch.

 

[SSSSSS]

Everyone knew he had talent but whether he had the desire and the workrate to succeed was the question. He has answered that this year. Absolute beast of a player and he has a touch of mullet magic (no where near big Ivan's of course).
