Tex Walker Says He Missed The Crows First Preseason Game To Go To A Wedding

Tex Walker revealed on Roo & Ditts For Breakfast this morning that he missed Adelaide’s first preseason game to go to a wedding.

“Nicksy (Crows coach Matthew Nicks) was good enough to let me, myself and one of the other boys to go to a wedding on the weekend,” Tex said.

“I spoke to him early in preseason and I said ‘look, if I complete most of preseason would you allow me to go to a wedding?’

“And he said ‘well, I know what you can do’.”

Ditts couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“You take a week off — a week off — you’ve just had, what, eight weeks off…” he said.

“I didn’t take a week off, I took two days off,” Tex protested.

“…to go to a wedding, when your club is engaged in a preseason, and important preseason game?” Ditts continued.

“I thought I’d create an opportunity for a young guy to play,” Tex said.

“I had to go and do a best man speech!”

Tex’s comments prompted Roo to talk about times he missed games, and Tex also gave an update on Adelaide’s injuries and young players.
