Walker’s Gather Round plea
Taylor Walker has weighed in on Gather Round as it returns to SA for a fourth year.
Adelaide forward Taylor Walker has made a plea to the AFL to continue hosting Gather Round in South Australia.
This season’s Gather Round was officially launched on Wednesday, marking the final year of the current hosting agreement of all nine games being played in SA.
Speaking at the launch at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital alongside Carlton’s Harry McKay, Walker said Gather Round had been a huge success and South Australia should retain it.
“We are pretty chuffed that we’ve been able to have it for four years, and hopefully we can get a deal done for a long period of time,” Walker said.
