You may be the stereotypical one eyed crows supporter however you don't speak for all crows supporters.

Walker was terrible.

He was lazy, a sook and complained about Craig hating him.

lol that's like saying that I should go tell John Longmire now, "Hey Horse. Trade Sam Reid, he's useless. Jesse White will shine in 2013"

You never actually thought Walker would be half useful.
Not sure if that statement is even worthy of a response but meh.

Fact, Taylor player only 11 senior games for norwood in his first year and how many did he kick? That's right! 56

Like I said I have followed him since he was 18 and he was always going to be this good! Pitty I wasn't on ff then because now I could laugh all the way!!

Don't try to tell me about Taylor Walker, he's my man and I always knew what he would do!
No doubt Tex is a player of the future but its the brain fades that worry me. The real stupid stuff that he gets suspended for

My oppinion is thet Craig dropped him for his lack of pressure, then in 2012 he over stepped the mark with his pressure, now he has learnt the differance and it should not be a problem

Mailman the 2nd

His lack of pressure wasn't just bad. As quoted by Nathan Basset, "His defensive pressure was mediocre."

I know several mediocre players in the AFL. I'm going to pick one to be best player in 2013

tbagrocks

Well Taylor worked this part of his game out and he over compinsated big time, we all saw the ferociousness he displayed this year, poor lad!

He gets drilled for not tackling so he works hard on it, tackles to hard and gets drilled again!

Well the Great Man has now learnt from what I saw in the last 6 games he now knows what to do so...

                         Look out

Raph Clarke or Richard Tambling? Both priced at $5001 for the Brownlow   ;)

So I assume that the AFL are going to be looking at every club as Adelaide cannot be the only team breaking rules, alot like Lance  Armstrong! otherwise it's just a which hunt!

so, when carlton broke the salary cap, were other clubs doing it too?


this is a really, really specific side arrangement and deal. I'm sure the afl will look into other clubs, but I doubt they'll find anything.

it's not a witch hunt if you tell the AFL that you did it...

Grazz- I'm really struggling to see the difference here. The contract was signed 3 years ago- the crows wouldn't have done that with the intention of then telling the AFL about the side contract/side agreement/ money on top of the salary cap. So,the deal was ready to be done, and then your chief executive decides to 'come clean' after 3 years.... it's bizarre...

Yeh i get that a suspicious mind looking at it could come to the conclusion that its about shafting Tippett for a percieved reniging on a deal, but i think it was more about the Crows getting in first to attempt to soften any punishment coming their way, not to flower Kurt as pen was about to be put to paper. I also hope although i dont know  that they had a bit of concern for White as he is the innocent party in this and Sydney to a large degree. If a deal had been done id hate to think what affect that may of had on White. I think we are just going to have to agree we disagree and move on zip.

Tbags mate cmon theres no witches hunt going on, we flowered up and dobbed ourself in to save our own butt as much as possible. Its wonderful to be passionate and protective of our club but theres no shame in accepting they stuffed up, not you not me not any of the 50 thousand other supporters but the Crows management. Throw your passion behind Sando and the rest of the boys who would be hearing alot of this for the 1st time and direct your dissapointment at those that created the drama which isnt Tippett either by the way its at the feet of those that submit the contract and knew better but did it anyway.

tbagrocks has been defending Taylor Walker and the club, by saying that he's been following him since he was 18. He's putting 100% of the blame on Yippett, saying the club 'never' wanted him to begin with, and he should be the only one that get's in trouble.

^The last few pages in a nutshell.

A bit harsh but Tex is the savior.. also

What happens to Triggy? He did the deal and I didn't want it ti happen as I wanted a high draft pick for the potato! But someone will answer and that someone will be Trigg!

Also is Muppett, sorry Tippett was honest this debacle would have been delt with moons ago

Lets not forget he quit via text and left his team mates with a flowering text message, so the doubters go plant a flower pot.

Have you seen some of the comments coming out of Adelaide re: Tippett?

If I was him I wouldn't exactly be popping around for a cup of tea and a conversation about my future either...
