Adelaide forward Taylor Walker has taken a swipe at the Match Review Officer's decision not to hand Richmond midfielder Trent Cotchin a suspension for a "deliberate" kick.

Cotchin received a $3000 fine for kicking, with the MRO assessing the situation as Intentional Conduct, Low Impact and Body Contact.

The Tigers veteran can accept a $2000 sanction with an early guilty plea, a punishment Walker believes isn't enough for his action.

Speaking on Triple M Adelaide, Walker said that if "the shoe was on the other foot" he may have been off for a holiday.

"Especially when itโ€™s deliberate," Walker said in response to a question from host Chris Dittmar.

"I tell you what, if the shoe was on the other foot I would have been missing the next month."

Walker recently returned from a suspension of his own, having been banned for six matches at the end of last season after making a racist comment toward a SANFL player during the year.

The 31-year-old served the final three games of his ban this year, returning to the Crows' lineup for their Round 4 encounter with Essendon.

Walker has booted nine goals in his two games so far this season, having led Adelaide to a shock 19-point win over Richmond at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night.

The Crows will look to add a third win to their season record this week when they travel to Ballarat to face the Bulldogs on Saturday.

  1. โ€ฆ. and heโ€™s right.

    If a Crow made a deliberate kicking-in-danger transgression, thereโ€™s be weeks coming his way.

    The MRO seems to be just as โ€œblindโ€ as some of the umpires when it comes to transgressions from the โ€œselected fewโ€โ€ฆโ€ฆ.
