Past #33: Patrick Walker - delisted end '22 - 0 NM games/goals - thanks Patty

[Horizons_00]

Strange they didn’t specify what it was nor has he been on any injury list on the AFL or our own website/app. I did see him down at Arden st on Saturday watching the boys. Think of a few of the tassie lads who played, families were over, he was with them.

Do we want to hide how bad our injury list actually is?

To be honest, happy for everyone to see our full injury list, will allow people to be more accepting of where we are at + if there is any negative media about it, well that puts pressure on the club to improve the medical and injury management section of the club.

This makes me smile.

I'm pretty optimistic about Pat. Great size & user. Raw so will take some time, but a good user off half back is a bit of a gap in our young brigade. If we can somehow turn her and Perez into players, we are in a good place.

Pat looks a great get imo.
If he continues his form from the weekend I will be very happy.

First ever AFLW crossover player. North always the pioneers.

Out of curiosity for those that have seen him play, what's he like defensively?

 

[marklovesbeer]

Probably the player I forget about the most on the list. That’s not a dig at him. I just hardly think about him. Any idea what his long term prospects are like if he’s fit & firing? Half back?

serviceable, but that's all - he's certainly not a contested ball pig; in the games I've seen him play, he has been a bit anonymous, his most noticeable contribution being as the preferred kick-in, so it was a good positive step forward to see him have some influence on the weekend. Had an interrupted year, so entitled to have some slack cut

Hopefully he continues to get a good run at it and develop his game further. Can never have too many good ball users in the back half with the way AFL is played these days.

Just went and looked at that 2020 rookie draft….we took him at 2

Hindsight’s easy and all that…..

Freo took Treacy at 7. Looks a serious prospect Treacy.

 

[hellas_johnny]

I've liked what I've seen both games I've watched him in. Was very impressed vs Coburg.

Finally starting to build up a good crop of kids who have a bit of confidence, back themselves & can actually deliver & kick the footy

That's what I heard when 'The Draft Expert' was asked about Walker too.
Claimed he was a serviceable defender but no pizazz or x factor traits that would really make him stand out from the crowd.

Didnt we also take Zurhaar in the rookie draft?

We have Atley and Hall down back so I am not sure how high the bar is, and the pace of VFL is a long way off AFL standard. We should give him a crack, we will soon find out how well he can hold up defensively.

Tidy little highlights package!

[shinboner magic]

Got nice skills and good mark on him but from those highlights -the thing that stood out was that he found space to receive the ball.
That’s the thing our players have struggled to do over the last few years.
Hopefully backs it up

Swingman role ?

 

[giantroo]

Could we see a debut for Paddy soon?

 

[Liam Boy]

Might be a good choice to replace Atley. I haven't seen too much of him though, to be honest

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

It would be interesting if this is the week he comes in, being named on the extended bench.

 

[Hazey1977]

I've got one hyphenated word for you all...

Medi-sub.

Gets to experience a roadtrip with the boys in the 1's!

Reckon its an extended bench, debut videos galore and medi sub kinda situation.
