Should Walker play against the Dees?

Adelaide overcame a slow start and late scare to register a nine-point victory over the Bulldogs on Sunday.

Crows key forward Taylor Walker is declaring himself ready for AFL action this weekend rather than another hit out in the SANFL.

But 24-year-old Walker accepts the final decision on his second game after a 12-month recovery from major knee surgery rests with Crows coach Brenton Sanderson.

Should Taylor Walker make his comeback against Melbourne?

"And I will be happy with whatever decision is made," said Walker who resumed in the SANFL on Friday night at Glenelg Oval.

Walker says he is 100 per cent confident he can handle a full AFL game already despite Adelaide co-captain Patrick Dangerfield saying the Broken Hill cult figure should not be rushed back to AFL action.

"I played at the weekend so I am confident I am more than right," Walker said.

Adelaide's options are to play Walker against AFL rival Melbourne at Adelaide Oval on Saturday or two more SANFL games starting with the SANFL showdown with the Port Adelaide Magpies at Clare on Sunday.

If the SANFL option is taken Walker's next chance to play in the AFL is against Collingwood in a Thursday night blockbuster at the Oval after the bye on May 15.

Asked if he could handle the full two-hour demands of an AFL game already, Walker said: "I am more than confident I would."

And of his confidence in his rebuilt right knee Walker says: "as soon as I started running and doing weights I was 100 per cent in it."

Walker also revealed he had deliberately trimmed himself from 102kg to 98kg while on the recovery path that began after an awkward landing at the MCG against Carlton last season.
