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

[Themanbun]

Bit of a forgotten man is Will. Was close to our BOG in the half he got injured in last year. Who knows what 2 years out of the game will do and he's definitely slipped in the pecking order, but he could come out and surprise us immensely.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Hope he does find some consistent game time this year, was well on track to cementing a spot in our best 22 not too long ago.

Hard to get back to that spot when a whole new younger crop comes up faster.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Looks like he is a long way down the pecking order considering he hasn’t been named in either of the trial matches

 

[The Nostradamus]

Not surprising considering he only just got the last list spot

there would have been serious thought to delisting him and opening up another spot last year

the journey back starts today at Geelong; myself, I've never been convinced, but good judges on here have faith, so let's hope they're right. Any haircut like the current do has to be worth backing in

Go Will! Remember what I told you son, there's a way.

didn't see it that way myself, but I guess it's in the eye of the beholder; good luck to him

 

[Passmore]

He’s certainly filled out. And that mullet and mo combo is just pr0n star.

yeah, he'd be popular on Chapel street

Maybe they just mean North listed players?

I'm worried about him, if Merlin007's posts are anything to go by he's not accomplishing diddly squat at VFL level the past few weeks and his fitness sounds like its way off the mark.

Needs to really get back into the best 22 this year or he'll be cut. He's already on a knife's edge with being re-contracted as a rookie. Hopefully it is just a fitness issue and not his body already being so cooked from injuries because I'd like to see that flowing mullet out on the park this year.

I’ve been told that his knee is still an issue and probably always will be. Fingers crossed but he’s up against it at this point

It’s still quite heavily strapped at training

WW a player that so many of us would like to see up and about in the AFL team ASAP. He has that ‘something’ that potentially provides us with a ray of hope in these dark times yet he was pretty much the only player on the list not mentioned as a potential in this week. No word on him in our VFL loss.

Was there anyone at the VFL game on the week that can provide a report on WW?

Yes I can - Will Walker was quiet all day, at various times looked slow, failed to stick tackles. He's been played in the centre square at times to encourage his contested ball work.

In short, not worthy of promotion

Thanks for the feedback Merlin007.
Disappointing and he needs to start showing something quickly or he’ll be just another ‘what if?’.

I reckon he had about 2 months to turn his career around otherwise he’ll end up on the long list of failed 2nd and 3rd round draft picks.

 

[Hojuman]

He still running with the " look at me " haircut ?

Seriously son.

 

[speedy]

The kid was flying before he did that knee injury. Just another thing to throw in the tragic basket.

 

[ChoppyGun]

See I don't understand this.

He genuinely looked impressive early on and thought we'd done very well.

Is it simply injuries that have stopped him, not good enough, poorly managed or what?

I'm *en over talented young players that show plenty and then fade away.
