It would've better to see him come back so it isn't the last thing we remember of him.

Sadly he will drift off into the footy wilderness and we won't hear about him again, I think he had a wonderful media career ahead of him after football, that ship has now sailed.

I reckon it would have went either way pending his form. If he came back and played really well then yeah maybe people would remember him for better reasons.

If he came back and spudded it up people would just look at it is being a consequence of the racism saga.

2-3 years off then he’ll slip into the media like Wayne Carey did

[Ronnie]

Surely retiring.

Why at his age and where the Crows are at would he want to deal with the reintegration at the club, the inevitable boos, the constant reminders from the media.

Yeah he could come back kick a ton of goals and go out on a better note but nothing he does from now forward will make those forgot about the racial incident.

I'm sure the Crows aren't there with open arms either, for good reason they distanced themselves in the initial press conference and the club would have to be thinking do they need this added pressure to the playing group. Can you imagine next years first round draft pick in his first press conference being asked what the 'culture' 'relationships/friendships' are like at the crows with Walker now back. Its just a distraction a young playing group doesn't need.

Sometimes you need to stand by people, not abandon them, even if it is hard. I'm sure most of us have seen friends, basically good people, do the wrong thing, and people can melt away pretty quickly from their side. But it's part of the human condition, that people can stuff up.
That of course depends on whether or not Walker is remorseful and ready to go again and recognizes what has gone on here.
All of us may need to see a way back from a dark spot at some point in our lives. If you close that off then I can't see that helps anyone.

Well said Ronnie

We are all human in the end

[Lightning McQueen]

Where do we watch said presser?

[Brodlach]

Not a retirement speech

Channel 9

"when was the last time you made a racist remark before this incident?". There's the first f..kwit.

Why no Club attire?

Yeah, I turned it off after that, what did he expect, Tex to start rattling off some jokes or reciting Kevin Bloody Wilson?

Because.

[Brodlach]

As it should, you can see it’s taken a huge toll on him.

It was in the wash

[Dutchy]

Good on him for fronting up and you can see in that presser he is genuinely remorseful, much more powerful than the staged apology.

Lets hope some good comes out of this now.

“When I first was pushed on this I was in denial, I panicked and I was scared and I thought about myself," Tex said.

"I let time go and I said to myself this is not about me, this is about Robbie and the Adelaide official and the pain that I caused to them and that's when I said I'm coming forward to own this and I want to get better for it."



So Tex Did deny The accusation initially. Silvers claimed “Tex owned it immediately” .

More deception from AFC it seems.

How the hell do you come up with that immediate line of conclusion? You can own it by admitting you have said it, however he’s clearly outlined that he’s had time to think on the effect of others rather than just protecting himself initially with his stupid and irresponsible actions. He’s lost a lot of respect from me over this, but you’re just trying to flip these words post event to further suit your point of view.

What are peoples thoughts on the Crows not being clear as to whether he will be 'welcome' back next year.

Surely the Crows would know the answer to that by now...…...I mean internally they would be making decisions on the list next year.

Would it be fair to say the fact that they haven't come out and said that he will be welcomed back to the team for 2022 says his time there could very well be up. Or is it more of delaying tactic so that they cop 'less heat' when they welcome him back.

I don't think they'd know now, as he said judge him on his actions going forward, that's what,IMO, will decide if he's welcomed back or not.

That makes no sense...…

Off course his going to do the counselling sessions, off course his going to apologise to the team, off course his going to donate the money he was required to, off course his not going to make racist remarks again.

There not going to learn anything new in the next few months.....

I mean prior to the incident he was already involved in indigenous programs alongside Eddie Betts, so yeah he might get back involved in one of those projects but once again that's nothing new.

He was 'ticking all the right boxes' prior to the incident wasn't he.
