#13 - Taylor Walker

[-VC-]

Re: Taylor Walker

In my opinion he would get a run in the NAB Cup just to give him a rough idea of what is required to play against AFL players and then he'll likely spend most of the year in the SANFL. Can't see him jumping from the Broken Hill league to the AFL as a bottom ager, but that is all up to how he develops physically and how he adjusts to the higher level of the SANFL.

So far he has adapted well to playing higher levels when jumping from Broken Hill up to TAC Cup or Div 2 Championships, so that's a good sign. But the biggest jump is still to come and I won't be phased if he doesn't play in 2008 as this year will be an important development year for him.

Re: Taylor Walker

How important will the SANFL draft be with the allocation of the new recruits..... Westies a chance to learn under Collins hopefully South at his age waht will Jack be able to really teach and the club is very volatile these two clubs could make or break the enthusiasm and confidence of any juniors ??????

Dumb question but are any of these kids eligible to be apprentice listed once they move over here?

Dumber Question what do you mean by apprentice listed?

Re: Taylor Walker

Scholarship presumably, and the answer is no. I remember reading part of the rule that said you have to have lived in the Scholarship area for a certain amount of time prior to getting the Scholarship.

By moving to South Australia that would make them ineligible for one.

No I agree, wasn't implying anything there. Ben Hudson carried it well, so heres hoping all goes well for Taylor Would he be starting pre season training today? Or would the Club ease him slowly into it..?

 

[fightingdreamer88]

Re: Taylor Walker

Imo they should honour his arrival with the creation of a pre-season exercise known as the Walker Run.

lolz cwotididthere?

No reason he wouldn't start training today...

Re: Taylor Walker

Yer but obviously there not going to send him on a 42k marathon first day of training.

They'd probably all have a standard 3 or 5k run to see what times they are producing, what condition their in etc.

Re: Taylor Walker

Yeh but he would train. All I am saying.

Re: Taylor Walker

I posted this link on the main board, but its an article on the Club's website about Taylor and he does mention his first training session. Click Here
