Adelaide forward Taylor Walker has revealed his seven-month-old son Hugo was forced to don a Port Adelaide scarf.

Walker received a photo of young Hugo with the Power merchandise shortly after a visit to his Uncle George.

“Ellie caught up with her family on the weekend and took little Hugo with her,” Walker told Triple M’s Roo & Ditts.

“His Uncle George thought he would take Hugo to look at the chickens.

“Much to my disgust, I get a photo about two hours later, after they were both home, with a Port scarf hanging around Hugo’s neck.

“If you open the dictionary, that is the definition of child abuse.”

 The 30-year-old baulked at the idea the scarf could lead Hugo to a life supporting Port Adelaide.

“Over my dead body will he be barracking for Port Adelaide,” Walker said.

“Don’t worry, I gave Uncle George a pair of Crows shorts a little while ago, and I get photos of him in the yard wearing them.

“I’m slowly starting to persuade him over to the Crowies.”

Football returns next week with Adelaide facing the Power at Adelaide Oval on Saturday, June 13.

Walker said fans may see a few new players lining up in the side.

“We’ll probably see a few changes, blood some new guys but also keep some experience,” he said.
