Crows captain Taylor Walker has maintained his standing among the AFL's top 50 players, as judged by the players themselves.

Recognised as the best captain in the League by the AFL Players' Association, it's no surprise his fellow players rate the Adelaide captain higher than what his pure numbers might suggest. The key forward's 47 goals for last season and 6.7 marks per game only tell half the story of what Walker brings to the table. His leadership to the Crows is invaluable, setting the tone for the side's younger players to follow while also pushing his more experienced teammates to go the extra mile.
