    Although I don't like Walker I feel sorry for any player who is injured. Did anyone else hear Eddie Mcquiire's shot about Sydney' COLA? Surely as a commentator at a specific game it is not his job to critisize another club's situation like that. If someone else did that regarding Collingwood we would never hear the end of it.

      Sorry to see Walker go down, but interestingly enough there's a good chance Johnston might get a call up. I for one would be very interested to see how he's come on since he left the Swans.

          Apparently he said "if Sydney didn't have the COLA Adelaide would still have Tippett"

          What a twonk, the amount of drivel that comes out of he mouth is horrendous

            Yes I did hear that. It was typical intellectual dishonesty from McGuire, he knows it's rubbish but he says it anyway to curry favour with his bogan constituency and to continue his pernicious campaign against the CoLA. It is based on nothing more than the desire to ensure that measures to equalise the competition are abandoned, because then the colossal advantages enjoyed by Collingwood can be fully exploited.

              2 years ago, when Collingwood were constantly beating us, the COLA was fair in his eyes...All it took was one PF loss and he's done a 180.

              He also went on to say that Tippett should stay well clear of Adelaide, due to Walkers injury riling up the locals anger towards him even more....Like it's somehow Tippetts fault.

              Also suggesting Mark Richutto would be first in line to have go at him......Just disgraceful, mischievous , inaccurate, mud slinging.

              McGuire is one of the all time tools in football.

                Never heard Eddie say that it was fair.
                He's always been anti in my recollection.

                  Even if you buy into the idea that we only have Kurt because of the COLA, you can't say that Adelaide would still have him if it was taken away. It was pretty clear he was keen to go, he would have just been at one of the other clubs in the AFL (other than Adelaide) if he wasn't here.
                  I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                  We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                    Every time I see him speak to camera I can see why Adelaide was so annoyed- apart from the on field stuff he brings, either he's a natural or they've spent a hell of a lot of time and money pumping media training into him.

                      Yes he did. I heard him in an interview, when he was living in Sydney, talk about his shock at how expensive Sydney is compared to Melbourne.
                      He went on to say , he could now see why the Swans were afforded a cost of living allowance....That's a far cry from his present stance.

                        Not suggesting Walker and Jesse are like for like, but I can't help but think had things gone to plan last November, Jesse would be in Adelaide's 22 next weekend.

                          He had Colless on his EMG show late last season. Colless asked Eddie to confirm he considered the COLA was justified, and Eddie agreed he thought it was.

                            He's taken plenty of flak over the past 6 months. Some maybe fair enough, but most not.

                            No doubt that'll intensify as his return gets near.

                            Hopefully he doesn't go into his shell in those early games.

                            I want him to play with a chip on his shoulder, and stick it up his detractors.

                                Hope Sammy can hang in there and keep upping his contributions as KTT (Kurt Tippett Time) nears. As plenty have said previously, things will look so much better for Sam with a bigger body up forward with him and I think it'll be a win-win for both of them.
