I don't get the feeling that Dimma is desperate to mortgage his list's future on a 29yo whose form dropped right off this year and he appears to be injury prone. Hence the report that suggests Walter has recently been offered a long-term contract extension. It sounds like we weren't even that keen on Curnow until it was publicly reported he'd be willing to take a pay cut, and even then it sounds like we're only semi-interested. I'm guessing we're focusing more on Jamie Elliott, who is a premiership forward in career best form and is an unrestricted free agent this off season.

Is Jed Walter a pre-season away from tearing the competition to shreds?

He seems like one of those players that was far more physically developed than the other kids, and takes a few years to adjust to playing on stronger opponents once in the AFL.
I haven't watched a lot of Walter, but I have watched a lot of Josh Treacy who shares the same traits you mentioned. I would say that smart, aggressive key forwards that can pressure and intimidate defensively are definitely built for the modern game.

GF sprint winner... worth Curnow and 3 first round picks!

The answer to this quetsion is no.
Jed Walter is not one pre-season away from anything.
Unless we are counting VFL.. then yeah sure he's going to have a huge year.
Will Hayward on the other hand... All Australian lock.

Is the Wayward_Missile username taken?
No, he is probably 2-3 pre seasons away.
The Grand Final sprint is a bit if hit and giggle normally, but did anyone watch it? He absolutely brained them, particularly in first 50. All of this from a big bloke.
I expect some improvement next year and then watch out after that.
I thought for a second Gold Coast were going to go all out for 2026 and trade Walter and/or Humphrey. Would have been the worst decision ever. They then got the academy picks and set for an amazing 5-6 years.
Honestly there is only a handful of players in the league I would trade Walter or Humphrey for.
Nick Daicos wants more of a suntan? Ok fair enough, otherwise, forget it.

Agree......
It will be interesting at the end of 2026 especially if JUH makes it. Somebody will drop out from talls.
Despite the naysayers JUH has put together a pretty good career early on. Gets plenty of shots but doesn't quite have the accuracy.
I'd expect more of the same at the Suns
I had to look this guy up .... 29 goals from 30 games. Another Tony Lockett
