Toast Sam Walsh 50 Games

[thylacine60]

Someone do the W/L figures in the first 50 games played by this freak and Selwood. At once.

I said..........

 

[skadoosh]

Not too shabby at all

 

[Elmer_Judd]

I was trying to think of one myself, sg

In the modern draft era I honestly can’t think of anyone that can go with him, Rowell looked likely but he’s had 2 big injuries and hardly played...

Walsh, Weitering, Harry, Charlie and Cripps. If that 5 doesn’t all help lift 17 then something has gone terribly wrong IMO

Joel Selwood's first 50 were pretty damn impressive too

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

Yep, I’ll pay that, EJ

 

[Arr0w]

Selwood certainly had an impressive start to his career, unfortunately doesn't meet the criteria given he missed a couple of games in his first season

 

[thylacine60]

am I *en invisible? look at how many winning games selwood played in during his first 50 - including a flag I think............walsh has been on the end of losses his entire career.............

 

[katmanblue]

What's that buzzing?

 

[thylacine60]

[Gethelred]

No, you

Seriously though, I can't think of a player who has had the same impact, composure, skill and decision making as Walsh in their first 50 games

Couple people brought up Selwood and I can’t argue with that, Walsh is as good as anyone I can think of though

Selwood, first 50 games, 46 wins.

Sam Walsh 47 games, 17 wins.

 

[Blue1980]

Different players though.

Judd had that xfactor, could turn a game in minutes. Walsh has similar drive, he will wear an opponent down over the course of a game

Selwood is a better comparison to Walsh.

 

[Blue1980]

Selwood, first 50 games, 46 wins.

Sam Walsh 47 games, 17 wins.

That’s just depressing

 

[Arr0w]

Selwood is a better comparison to Walsh.

Wasn't comparing him to Judd as a player

Cotchin/Harvey, possible ceiling Bradley

 

[thylacine60]

Selwood, first 50 games, 46 wins.

Sam Walsh 47 games, 17 wins.

Thanks, gabber. Thought it might be even more extreme than that.

 

[Juddrockz]

You can tell Walsh is thriving on the challenge each week. Trying to better his craft and whatever he is doing,it's working. This young man IS and will be superstar of the game into the future.
Well done Sam Walsh,it's a credit to himself and his family!

 

[Madblue]

Don't think I've seen a better first 50 games from anyone at any club

 

[katmanblue]

Don't think I've seen a better first 50 games from anyone at any club

Especially with so little support

 

[DeepBlue]

Congratulations sammy

 

[DeepBlue]

[thylacine60]

Congratulations sammy

on your 48th!

 

[DeepBlue]

on your 48th!

He has elevated his game to elite status. A few times a game I turn to my brother and ask "how did he do that?!" Absolute freak at such a young age

 

[Jimmyonesix]

5th for effective disposals a game is an enormous stat for a young guy first year playing inside .. considering he 7th for disposals .. I will admit I was wrong I thought his disposal at times was ordinary last year especially early and thought his best position was wing so he had more time (maybe for team balance it still is) but he holds his own inside or outside .. amazing competitor ..
