Toast Andrew Walker re-signs for 3 years!

[Silvagnis]

Tex is on some good coin too. According to this article the deal is worth $1.6mil for 3 years.

We must be cheating the cap.

Media figures are bunk. They always print 700K for Thomas.

? Who is the Hat?

Andrew Walker's hat.

Hats off to Andrew Walker

IT'S almost summer and Melbourne turned on a sweltering day yesterday, prompting Andrew Walker to don a hat for Carlton's training session at Visy Park.

Hats off to Andrew Walker

Easily one of the funniest pieces of "journalism" you'll ever see.

Yet the HS were too gutless to put a name to the article. Bet you it was Jon Ralph.

Some of those comments on that article are quality

Exactly the same as today's article on Gibbsy's head band - staff writers!

$2.5mil over 4 years seemed to be the consistent figure quoted. Which of course they'd follow up with 700-750k per year. Whle brains were being handed out footy journalists were too busy digging through bins.

Think Walkers wears hat belongs to Sam Edmund who is a Blues fan.

More pics of Walker to mark this occasion please.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Well done, reckon he got a pretty good deal there, would assume part of it is taken on the Veteran's List.

Always reckon 2 with an option is the go.

Ratten call saved Walker’s career

Walker not only describes the negotiations on the three-year deal he signed this week as “really smooth sailing”, he says his out-of-contract teammates won’t be far behind him.
Skipper Marc Murphy, Bryce Gibbs, Michael Jamison, Jarrad Waite and Kade Simpson will all become free agents at the end of the season.
Murphy has declared his “love” for Carlton and said: “I can’t see myself playing anywhere else”.
“(I’m) nearly all signed. Hoping to get that done in the next few weeks. Hopefully a few of the other boys are close as well.”
Gibbs appears the most vulnerable to rival offers, but Walker and Murphy both firmly believe the No.2 draft pick will stay put.
“I’m really good mates with Gibbsy — I’d be very surprised if he went anywhere,” Murphy said.
Walker said he was “extremely confident” Gibbs would be wearing navy blue next season.
“He put himself up for the leadership group this year so that’s a fair indication of his commitment to the club,” Walker said.

At 27 and with 165 games under his belt, Walker is poised to become the first indigenous player in Carlton’s long history to play 200 games before his new deal expires.
“I guess the one positive of Eddie Betts going is that I’ll be the first indigenous player to reach 200,” Walker joked.
“It would be a massive honour if I get there. To be the first indigenous player would be great and something I would hold close to my heart and something my family would be pretty proud of.”

Great article but seriously, do people even bother to research or proof-read their work?!

*shakes head*

Lucky for us he stayed on though, otherwise it would be another reason to hate the Crows!
