Tex Walker Reveals Harry Taylor's Bizarre Post-Game Antics

Adelaide captain Tex Walker joined Triple M Adelaide this morning and relayed one of the weirder stories you’re likely to hear from the footy oval.

Following the Crows’ triumphant win over fellow top four opponent Geelong, Tex revealed the strange encounter Josh Jenkins had with veteran Cats swingman Harry Taylor during their post-game handshake.

“I wasn’t there when it actually happened,” Tex told Roo & Ditts.

“But JJ filled me in that when he shook Harry Taylor’s hand, there was a slice of ham in there.”

Yes, you read the correctly. 

Taylor tried pranking his opponents by slipping a piece of ham into his palm before partaking in the post-game handshakes.

Text revealed that it probably was a reference to Jenkins falling ill in Melbourne the following week due to a dodgy ham sandwich.

But it’s safe to say that Roo wasn’t a fan of Taylor’s deli-like escapades. 

“How could you prepare to do that on Friday night football?” Roo asked.

“Why would you bother? It’s not even funny, it’s very weird.

“He’s an experienced player. He kicked five goals; it didn’t affect his performance.

“What was he hoping to get out of it?

“Someone needs to asked Harry taylor about his warped sense of humour. That is very strange.

“That is up there with Andrew Jarman organising bandanas to be given out after the game.”

There’s no word on whether it was your ham off the bone type operation, or just straight out of the packet.

Either way, it’s strange.
