Agree but has been the scrapegoat (IMO) for the side when others around him seem to get a reprieve. Now the lad has a bargaining chip so will see what transpires.

If you remember Tipps did not go.

@Ago as much as it is more about money people have turned the 2 new teams down, such as Roo.

Same thing has been going on for a looooooong time, just there was less money involved.

I'm confident we can keep him. He's in our best 22 now easily, and that's all he really wanted. Game time is something a player like Taylor demands, otherwise he might get a little frustrated.

The money factor could be an issue though.

Kurt Tippett will be the key to keeping Taylor ;)
The 'bromance' between the two will be vital in keeping Tex at West Lakes. :-*

*Just keep watching those GC Suns matches Taylor and see how much they FAIL and then you can gauge whether you want to be part of something similar next year at GWS :P

How will McKernan fit in with these two? Will that have an effect on Walker going if they're going to play 3 big forwards, limiting his chance to get the ball...??

agreed thinking McKernan will be the sub this week as Kurt will be on limited TOG, sounds silly but the Crows wouldve been better off losing Tippett to GC, always injured and McKernan and Walker r both very mobile for big blokes

Wasn't young walker set up to play more upfield this season? Heard he's got the tank to be able to play off half forward but Tippett goes and gets himself injured making him stick deep forward.

Adelaide would be severly hurt if they lose the kid.

McRooster · April 12, 2011, 01:41:46 AM

Add Brad Moran as a mobile big man and it does get a bit tall down at West lakes :-\

McKernan just needs one bad game and he'll be dumped allowing a more open forward space for Tippett/Walker to own.

after last weeks performance he could be in the firing line. im really surprised at how little he showed, i thought (maybe hoped) that his lazy days were behind him. :(

Dropped... gotta be the icing on the cake.

DG · May 13, 2011, 03:14:18 PM

dont know if they'd be too many crows supporters upset by that. Still dont want to lose him, but gee he has a bit to work on. Unfortunately for him, gone are the days of a dedicated full forward that does nothing else up the ground.

McRooster · May 22, 2011, 12:12:37 AM

Listed as emergency v Collingwood this week ::)

Probably just taste testing a few Toohey's to make sure he's made the right decision about next year ;)

CrowsFan · May 22, 2011, 12:58:10 AM

Saw that on before the game.
What's wrong with having a few beers at the footy? ;)

RiOtChEsS · May 22, 2011, 10:45:46 AM

ala Nathan Bock perhaps? club knows he is going :-\

if he isnt going then while they have said its fine to 'have a life'

there would be a behind closed doors punishment surely :-X
