Adelaide captain Taylor Walker hopes his AFL club offers stalwart Scott Thompson a new contract.Adelaide hierarchy will likely decide this week whether to table a fresh deal to the 33-year-old Thompson, who may not be granted his wish of continuing at the Crows.But Walker hopes the 306-game veteran is retained by the Crows, who bowed out of the premiership hunt with a semi-final loss to Sydney on Saturday night.Himself, his management and the club will decide that ... but I have loved playing with Thommo, Walker told reporters in Adelaide on Sunday.Not only his on-field stuff but his off-field stuff, he teaches me a lot as a leader, as a person, his ability to teach all the young midfielders.So he has got a lot to give to the footy club. I would love to see him go around again.The heavy defeat to the Swans was the second consecutive season the Crows have been semi-final losers but Walker believed his clubs premiership window remained open.One-hundred per cent. I have got a lot of confidence and belief in the group we have got, he said.The Crows skipper admitted anger at again falling at the same stage of the season but was pleased at the clubs improvement over the course of the year.We have made some steps but we need to make more big steps to get what we want, he said.As a footy club we set some clear goals going into finals and we wanted to play in a premiership and we didnt.As a captain Im very proud of what we have achieved but Im not happy.Were a good footy club but we want to be a great footy club. And do to that we need to get better.The Crows are braced to lose football operations manager David Noble to a similar role at rivals Brisbane.Miles Sanders Eagles Jersey .

Mike Quick Eagles Jersey . 8 Kansas to a 64-63 win over Texas Tech on Tuesday night. The freshman from Vaughan, Ont.Fernando Alonso admits Suzuka has represented a step backwards for McLaren after he and Jenson Button were forced to settle for 15th and 17th on the grid.Honda came to its home race hoping for a competitive weekend but dropped off the pace on Saturday. Alonso switched to Hondas upgrade in Malaysia so he could run it this weekend without a penalty but still faces a start towards the back end of the grid.Alonso admits McLaren needs to hope for showers for Sundays grand prix.Definitely not the right performance in qualifying, Alonso said. All weekend long we have been struggling a little bit, trying to find the balance and speed of the car as well. Definitely difficult positions to start the race tomorrow, 15th and 17th are not the best places for the two McLarens, especially after some races we were used to being in Q3 and fighting for the points.So it seems to be a step backwards here, especially yesterday and Saturday, so we need to find some speed for tomorrow ... some weather change, some rain will help us recover some places. But we need to analyse why we underperformed.Alonso thinks McLaren is still struggling to find the ideal set-up on bboth cars.ddddddddddddSo far it has been disappointing, no doubt. Its not great for our home grand prix but we didnt find the speed all weekend long, were struggling with the high-speed performance and straight-line performance.Difficult to balance this in terms of downforce choices, etc, so not the ideal place to start the race but hopefully we can recover some places, maybe some rain around tomorrow because in a normal race, normal circumstances it will be difficult to gain places.Though admitting its been a step backwards, Alonso does not believe it is a sign McLaren and Hondas latest upgrades have gone in the wrong direction.I think everything is working. Five days ago we were performing really well in Malaysia. Its just circuit to circuit seems to change the performance of the car, or our competitors - here it seems Force India and Haas are running very quick, in Singapore Toro Rosso was running very quick. So depending circuit to circuit and this one is probably not in our sight, so we need to understand why. ' ' '
