Interesting that a bloke called Dermott Brereton, who played a bit, also comments that Walker is not your normal forward in that most of his goals come from snapshots or off the ground.
and half forward outside 50.
to me it's 70% delivery, 30% poor efforts in contests as to why he has bad games.
I've seen him take some great contested grabs before. He has it in him but more often than not either drops concentration or gets caught in two minds how to approach the contest.
From what I've seen when the ball is delivered even slightly to his advantage he nearly always makes the most of it, as good forwards do. it's those poor kicks that are either to the defenders advantage or to no ones that he is very inconsistent atm, in contrast to tippett.
This year there has been majority pathetic entries to f50.
Walker still has a lot to work on but forward delivery needs way more.
