What a dud.

When is he gonna play a good game? And not a "good" game like "oh McLeod only had 16 possies agaisnt Walker!" and in turn Walker had like 5.

2 seasons and I think only one 20 possie game?

Walker you are a disgrace, even Bettsy is playing better than you.

PS: Learn to kick.

Give the kid a break, he's hardly surrounded by a mass of leadership talent and help on the field. He's a quality player and has already shown what he is capable of, now just a matter of some consistency and confidence. Not unusual for a player to suffer from second year blues due to fitness, growth issues and body changes from the training.

Do you watch him play?

He cannot kick to save his life.

They messed up on pick 2 that year.

He's not a dud, just lacking support on and off the field.

Shouldn't be used as a tagger but when he's not, he struggles because he doesn't yet have the body strength to win his own ball.

He'll be good but needs more time. A decent skills coach and an off-season in the gym and he'll start to have an impact.

One of the few Carlton players I'd trade for.

What a jerk.
He's only played too seasons and he's only 19. He'll get better as he gets older.
BTW None of North's young players have exactly set the world on fire have they ?

Gee, even Betts has done more than Walker in his career...

Wouldnt touch Walker, has been disappointing, even Blues fans should agree.

Funny thing is, they both do more at VFL level than Walker, but Walker still gets a game at AFL level.

:confused:

If Wells has been playing with a "fractured back" then North's training and coaching staff should be sacked immediately. The AFLPA should be contacted and he should ask to be released from his club for dereliction of their duty of care to him as a player.

There is no truth at all to your story is there? Didn't think so.

How was your finals campaign? Go well did it?

You clearly stated that Wells had a fractured back, this is clearly crap, so retract it. If it was true, the training and coaching staff should be sacked.

No player would be allowed to play with a fractured back. As for the softness aspect, I am more than happy that we kicked your soft arses twice this year.

I'm also more than happy with our younger players. Reilly is injured BTW, hamstring strain otherwise he'd be in the starting 22.

I reckon there should be a rule on BF about not crucifying kids in their 1st & 2nd years. Give the kid some time to develope before writing off his entire career. I agree that Carlton fans may be a little dissapointed given that he was the No.2 pick but I'll give him until at least this time next year before passing any judgement. How many said Hodge was a complete dud before this year? Personally I hope Walker doesn't become a star (at Carlton anyway) but with 40 odd blokes on every list I'm sure we can find so older guys to put the sword to. :mad:

Finals? Um yeah I mentioned finals..... :confused:

Reilly has been a disappointed ment too.

Yeah well done you beat us, you deserved it twice. But kicked? sorry too far.

This is about Walker not the trade that you got Carey and traded Wells :D :thumbsdown:

Hodge actually did some useful things and showed what he could do in later years. In fact, I didnt see the coach try and tag him when he had absolutely no clue what to do by himself....

Heard of these blokes?

Grima?
Shane Harvey :D ?
LeCras?
Urch?
Watson?
Schwarz?

All 2, 3 or 4 years older than Walker.

What about Piciaone? Thewlis, Shore or Perry.
Your team is ckockers with duds and you're having a go at a 19 year old kid.

Is this part of your therapy? Concentrate on Andrew Walker to forget the nightmares in your own backyard.
