‘Adelaide has granted Taylor Walker personal leave following the loss of he and his partner Ellie’s unborn baby,’ the statement said.
‘The thoughts of the entire Crows family are with Taylor and Ellie, as well as their extended family, at this difficult time.
‘The Club asks that their privacy is respected and there will be no further comment at this stage.’
