Taylor Walker, the youngest player on Adelaide’s list, booted nine goals for Norwood in the SANFL on Saturday.

 

The promising forward, who turned 18 in April, starred in Norwood’s 51-point win over the Eagles at Woodville Oval. He collected 19 possessions and 13 marks while kicking 9.0 in his sixth league game.

 

Walker, signed as Adelaide’s first New South Wales scholarship player in 2006, made the All-Australian under 18 team last season and then kicked seven goals for North Broken Hill in its senior premiership win before he was upgraded to the Crows’ primary list late last year.

Rookie James Moss won plenty of the ball for Central District reserves with 12 kicks, nine handballs and seven marks.

In a bad day for the Roosters at Unley Nick Gill gathered eight possessions and one goal for the away side as they went down by 106 points.

Rookie Brodie Martin was the standout on Monday, named best on ground for Sturt reserves gathering 29 possessions, 10 marks and three goals in their 36 point win.

In the same game Tony Armstrong was a good contributer for North with 14 possessions and two goals and Greg Gallman picked up 11 possessions and two marks.
