You're exactly right. Everytime I see the heading "Ralph rumour" I just think to myself, it's not worth worrying about. People come up with rumours like this all the time, most of them are a load of crap.

Look, it wouldn't be suprise me if Walker did have a word to Craig about why he was dropped but the "stick it where the sun don't shine" seems a bit farfetched to me. People are over-reacting as they usually do.

Doesn't to me, seems like a pretty stock standard response to being dropped. The response to it on this board is pretty hilarious though, just goes to show how little experience many have at footy clubs. Craigy, in fact every coach at AFL level, State league level, even Amateur league level would be told where to shove it on a pretty consistent basis, means jack shit in the grand scheme of things. Posters here need to untangle their knickers just a little.
 
WOW! Just wow...

Can you imagine how much advertising space could be sold around a story as juicy as this.

It's like one of those volatile relationship breakdowns and everyone gets in a corner.

Relly strange story and I'm very curious if there could possibly be any truth in it. It's not out of the question that it could have spread through the player group and then some...

If it is true then it's easily understandable from a Walker standpoint when pride and ego gets involved... and I think there's been enough of these in football for it to be handled. If he were to want a transfer on the back of such a breakdown then I'd be mighty disappointed in Tex... given he's nowhere near the player he yet needs to be and it's in everyone's interest for him to work through his problem areas...
 
Exactly how big is this hat?

I don't care how big his hat is, provided he carries that guitar around with him at all times...

I'll believe it when I see it. Sometimes even Rowey and Cornesy don't believe so why should believe any thing this gutless(disguises his voice, fake name) wonder says.
Even though some of the footy journalists aren't much better they at least have the courage to put their name to their rumors unlike this tosser.
If Craigy continues to play favorites and doesn't drop out of form players we will eventually have a player leave because of him. If Walker (who was statistically in better form than Tippett at the time of his dropping) was given the same chances as Tippett he probably would have returned to top form.
Craigy has a lot more negatives against his name than our frustrated youngsters.
I say give Craigy until round 15 to have improved on this years performance and he hasn't give him the flick.

My point is valid though hypothetically if Craig and the club know that Bock is off to the gold coast why did we drop Davis and stunt his development to bring Bock back into the team ?

agree it is just that a hypothetical question

however my point you used a hypothetical question with no basis of fact to take another swipe at Craigy

Craigy is our coach and he should be challenged however lets at least do this based on facts not bullshit
 
Walker is well within his rights to ask questions about his treatment. It goes as far back as 2008 before he even made his debut. He should have got a game in the side that year, but Craig refused to budge.

Craig's whole philosophy about not gifting games away is a sham and reeks of double standards.

So...Lets just let the players run the team eh:eek:
I know...tomorrow i think i will let the kids from up the street drive my D9:cool:
 
This whole Ralph thing is complete crap.

Somebody ring 5AA and tell Cornesy that this w***er Ralph gets all of his rumours from BigFooty, and considering how much he hates us, he shouldn't be putting him in the radio.

The bloke says nothing that hasn't been discussed on here at length.

I wasn't thrilled with how Craig had handled Walker, but I was comfortable that it'd work out in the long run - but dropping him this week was completely ****ed, and I wouldn't blame Walker if he told him to jam it.

If he quotes one of Carl's transcripts as facts it will be one of the best moments of BigFooty.

Carl, get to it, except title the transcript as 'leaked meeting'.
 
:thumbsu: At first I was angry and wanted to reply.... then I decided to do my blood pressure a favour and read on. Glad I did... came to your gem and put a smile on my face. :D
Yes, I've narrowly avoided wasting 10 minutes of my life composing a rant in response to the rubbish on this thread.

Honestly people - you'll tear Rucci a new one for writing even remotely critical speculation about the AFC, but when some anonymous, sad attention seeker calls up talkback radio and says "I heard a rumour that Taylor Walker was unhappy about being dropped" (I should bloody hope he was unhappy) you're all over it like it's some amazing insight into the inner workings of the club.

- Which you will readily do, of course, if said rumour supports your own prejudices, and you can then use the hypothetical as some sort of evidence to support those prejudices.

- Some are even prepared (still) to believe that DangerMouse is a flight risk (do I have to post the link to the article by his grandfather, again?!)

Old "Ralph" probably spends his lonely evenings (after turning off 5AA) scouring the internet for mentions of his latest "rumour". What he does when he reads BigFooty probably defies description on a family board :eek:

Whoops - that was 3 minutes of my life I'll never get back :D

Nah - 5AA love Ralphy, he and his rumours are central to their target demographic*.

* which places very low value on football knowledge, critical thinking and plain common sense.
