Taylor Walker’s Journey to 300: Adelaide Icon’s Legacy Continues in 2025 Finals
Historic Milestone Approaches for Crows Legend
Adelaide Crows veteran Taylor Walker is set to achieve a remarkable milestone as he prepares for his 300th AFL game in the upcoming home qualifying final against Collingwood, marking the club’s return to September action after an eight-year absence.
The achievement will make Walker the 110th player in VFL/AFL history to reach 300 games and the fifth Crow to do so, joining the elite company of Ben Hart, Mark Ricciuto, Andrew McLeod and Tyson Edwards.
Record-Breaking Career
Walker stands as the Crows’ most prolific goal-scorer since the club’s 1991 AFL entry, with an impressive tally of 641 goals. His journey has been marked by consistent excellence, with his career-high 76 goals in 2023 earning him his first All-Australian team selection.
The Broken Hill native, who became Adelaide’s first AFL NSW Scholarship player in 2006, showed his potential early by leading North Broken Hill to a Premiership at just 17 years old, kicking seven goals and earning best-on-ground honours.
2025 Season and Future Prospects
At 35 years old, Walker remains undecided about his playing future beyond this season. “I haven’t made up my mind, mate, to be honest,” Walker recently told reporters. He has suggested that winning a flag could influence his decision, potentially providing the perfect sunset to his illustrious career.
The Crows, under Matthew Nicks’ leadership, have shown promising signs this season. According to analysts, the team has been revitalised and is considered capable of reaching a preliminary final, providing Walker with a genuine chance to add a premiership to his impressive list of achievements.
Legacy and Impact
Throughout his career, Walker has claimed Adelaide’s leading goal kicker award six times and served as captain between 2015 and 2018, twice being voted the AFLPA Best Captain in 2016 and 2017. Off the field, Walker has balanced his football career with family life, welcoming three children with his wife Ellie: Hugo James, Louis Jack, and Harriet (Hattie).
