After a fantastic season for the Blues, Andrew Walker has been awarded the Outstanding Achievement in AFL prize at the 2011 Deadlys

First held in 1995, the Deadlys are an annual celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander achievement in music, sport, entertainment and community.

Great stuff for a great year!

Congrats Tex. Well deserved.

Beautiful seeing our boys being recognized outside of the AFL.

 

[Beloved]

Magnificent.

Well done, Tex.

 

[Big Sim]

After two obscene snubs with the AA squad and the MOTY, at last some well derved recognition.

A great year and more to come. With a bit of help from a big body down there he will be an abolute gun.

That article said he made the AA squad.... Wasn't it just Judd, Murphy, Scotland and Betts?

Just double checked - no Walker in the AA squad.

Well I guess KB wasn't on that selection panel then!

Top stuff Tex. Keep up the great work and keep those shoulders in good nick.

Just double checked - no Walker in the AA squad.

Pretty sure only the master and his apprentice made it.

Pretty sure only the master and his apprentice made it.

We're talking about the squad of 40 in which both Scotto and Betts made it as well.
Person who wrote the article must have felt pretty strongly about AW's non-selection

Ed: And as I go to re-check the article I see that it has been edited and the bit about AA selection has been removed, I'll just go ahead and take credit for that I guess

I guess Buddy Franklin and Daniel Wells aren't indigenous...

Why were Jurrah, Hill and Jetta nominated ahead of these two plus Betts, Ryder and Burgoyne?

Strange decisions.

Strange decisions.

They possibly could have been previous nominees?

 

[Blue Dawn]

Should have an AA and Mark of the Year to go with it! Brilliant to finally see your breakout year Tex.

I wasn't aware that Walker was Aboriginal.
