Nah he is not overrated because he is still the number one flog and deservedly so.

Has the AFL world overrated Taylor Walker?

I was sitting 20m away from the play today and the ball was coming in, in line with us, and Walker right in front of us. Made no effort to go for the ball, to crash through or anything. It was atrocious. He is not a captain's butthole. Sloane on the other hand busted his arse for 36 disposals. I've been a Walker fan, but I can't stand his laziness. Neil Craig saw it in him as a youngster and didn't play him because of it.

Wouldn’t want him in my side even if he was free.

Been damaged ever since that game
Was a good player, but not a great one. Completely cooked now though.

To be fair to Walker, he hasn’t been the same player since the knee v Carlton a few years ago. Issue is now he’s lost pace and can’t jump.

Thats my biggest pet hate about him. He's physically huge and he just refuses 99% of the time to actually use it to his advantage in play. Not sure if that's a club directive as you've never really had a list known for being rough, the virtually non existent suspension history backs that up. But he alone could change that perception.
It's embarrassing when he steps in afterwards pretending otherwise.
Sloane is and always should be the captain.
But he'll boot a 65m long goal soon and everyone will forget.
One of the most intelligent players on the field I've ever watches, but, it's worthless when he shoes himself to be incredibly soft and often lazy in the contest. I've tried to defend him on numerous occasions (and I have no doubt he is still carrying a groin injury that might be a permenant thing now), but he's lost all of his acceleration and ability to win the ball in a contested situation.
When things are going well and he has the ball in space, he's an absolute star but when the ball is there to be won, he's become a third-rate player.

That's good to know. I was tossing and turning in bed last night wondering if you ever rated him.

Thought Wayne played 351? With the most for North not Central didn’t he play 149 for Central?

Surely this is no longer in dispute - he's been massively overrated. Barely sighted tonight and got a lucky goal from a dodgey free kick right at the end. No longer in the top 15 KPFs in the competition
The entire Adelaide forward-line has fallen off a cliff.

He is one dimensional. Great lead up player and big kick. Not much else in the bag.

Yep, agree. He was a very good CHF until then, but lost his explosiveness. I don't think he was ever at the top echelon, but he was certainly a very good footballer before the knee.

Sloane on a bad day will still work hard
Walker will try to get the ball out of the back, I don't know if he has that ability to have a shit game and work his way in. Which you want from a leader
