The way I see it we're pretty much cooked regardless.

I think it is based around him not having a heavy influence in games with regards to the result. When the game is there to be won where is he?
That being said, last Thursday night was probably the first time the Crows have played a game this year that was still in the balance in the last quarter.

Spot on. He's gone from being the most respected captains in the AFL to a bit of a joke. I think he was hugely overrated as a "leader" before so it's not a huge shock to me. Reminds me of Lucas Herbert. Built like Tarzan and plays like Jane. Flat track bullies unlike someone like Selwood who is the opposite and stands up even more so when games are on the line and Tex has plenty of kilos on Joel.

Tex a leader, he obviously has the attributes required, otherwise he wouldn't have been given the role by a bloke who was at the time deemed one of the best football thinkers in the game.

How do these stats stack up in their losses?

After the Walsh tragedy, someone I know in the peripheral of the group, said that Walker was strong at worst and resoundingly stoic at best. Clearly in the matches after Walsh and in '16 he was their natural leader. No question.
However, I wonder if his off field is matched by his on field leadership. Whilst your comment re apples / oranges is true, there's also moments in time when a captain must stamp himself of the game, go above and beyond. There was a moment late in the Hawthorn game where Walker was tight in the scoreboard pocket and he dished off too Lynch who is this year 50/50 from set shots. That moment, right there, was crying out for a captains goal. He might have figured he'd give to someone in a better spot, maybe he should have take ownership of it.
To be named the best captain in the AFL by the other AFL captains is a massive call. I think we all respect the type of person you would have to be to be made a captain in the modern era, for 17 of your peers to call you the pick of them, you must be doing something right.
Now I feel all dirty, I can't stand the wanker.
