Past #27: Will Walker - delisted end '21 - 6 NM games/4 NM goals - go well Walks

[arden station]

A real natural sportsman - moves really well and has good hand eye coordination. Great agility and speed. Clearly is very balanced and strong through the core/legs which is way more important than having beach weight guns etc. So don't go weighing him down with ten extra kilos. We need players who are agile and can run, especially considering we have so few of them.

 

[King Corey]

Hope we don't north him.

 

[Roosurgence]

Walker’s last part of the season has given me hope we have a good player on our hands here.

Another preaseason and some time in the gym will hopefully see him become a regular best 22 player.

 

[Heaps of fun]

He had eight touches in the first quarter.

 

[Pykie]

Any news on the extent of his knee?

 

[King Corey]

This knee injury has at least guaranteed he'll get picked in the last round.

 

[Arthur Cloke]

Hope it’s not serious. Our young guys have a great knack of copping SERIOUS injuries.

Any news on the extent of his knee?

Commentators said after the game that the docs thought it was just a bad hyperextension but no structural/ligament damage.

They'll grab a scan once they get back to Melbourne I'd assume

Bloody lucky if so. A decent rest followed by a good uninterrupted preseason and we'll have ourselves a very good player in this kid.

 

[brettman135]

Plenty to like about what he's done. Be good to get a full pre season into him building into an AFL body.

To me, Will looks like a player in the mould of Gaff. Smart, knows where the pill is going, little bit of unsuspecting pace and creative skills. Similar body shape aswell... Both run funny.

That turn back at exactly the right time to take that mark 40 out. Reads the game, has all the attributes. Very exciting.

I actually see a bit of Collingwood-era Dale Thomas (minus a bit of the razzle dazzle and s**t peroxide hair) in him.

Quick enough, rangy, good skills and x-factor around the ball and when he has it, gets to good spots.

 

[Benj7]

Bone bruising I would most likely miss. I’d be filthy if he did more damage this week just get him right for round one 2019.

 

[muttley45]

We've got (another) good'un here, upside is enormous, get well soon WW

 

[Shermanator]

Whoever likened him to Blake Caracella is spot on I reckon..

 

[Kanga1996]

Starting playing to his excellent VFL form prior to getting injured. Will be a good player.

The kids has everything we are looking for...
Not bad for half a game.
1st for speed in defence
2nd for speed in attack
1st for average moving speed

Those who don't have Willy W in their best 22 for Round 1 next year are sadly mistaken.

Provides a good point of difference in our forward 6.

What’s the update on his injury?

I need to hear he’s ok

 

[Billy Not Really]

Pretty sure it was only a hyperextension and nothing serious.

He's ok.
