I reckon if we can get a top 5 drat pick for him this year, we should consider it.

His disposal really hasn't improved at all, and his kicking for goal has cost us dearly at times, so I wouldn't be adverse to trading Walker if we coudl get a fairly good deal for him.

I'm sorry but my pateience is wearing thing with Walker, we may has well strike whilst we can get value for him.

You have got to be kidding me, right?

Why the hell would we spend so much time and effort developing a kid, and just when he is about to become an excellent player, trade him off? That makes no sense whatsoever.

Yeah, let's draft players, develop them for a few years, and then trade them off when they are ready to be very good or excellent players. That way we can stay down the bottom of the ladder and continue to get early draft picks, develpp those players, and trade them of too!

What would we benefit from trading Walker? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. He is an important player, and because he has an average fortnight it's time to trade him? Yeah, right :rolleyes:

You obviously haven't seen much of Walker this year, as your comment about his kicking not improving is incredibly ignorant, or just plain silly. Walker's disposal has improved immensely over the last year, and is pretty good now. Murph's disposal hasn't been great this year, should we trade him, too?

Now, either you are taking the piss, a troll, or just didn't think that out at all. We don't need statements like that-they make you look incredibly silly.

Have you seen him play for the entire year or just the past fortnight?

In his first three games he kicked brilliant running goals and drilled a set shot from the boundary line against the Lions. :confused:

He was more effective than Gibbs and Murphy in one game this year yet everyone bags Walker and his talents if he has an average game. Collingwood supporters are the missing link in human evolution and overrate their young players, but at least they're not flaming them and writing them off like "Carltmond's" fans. :thumbsdown: :mad:

Oh for Pete's sake

Tell me you wouldn't trade Walker for Judd or Buddy Franklin.

FWIW I have no probs with Murphy's disposal this year, in fact I do believe he is more effective then Walker (and don't forget Walker is 3 years older then Murph as well)

Fair dinkum, Walker has to improve his kicking, esp at goal, but I still think I'd listen to good offers IE Trade bait.

You didn't say trade him for Judd or Franklin ..you wanted a top 5 draft pick for him ..which is completely ludicrous ..like others have said he is only 20 and has been a very good player for us this year. why would you even consider trading him away for an unknown kid ??? :confused:

I dont undertsand why supporters are so impatient with our kids. Walker is turning 21 this weekend. ONLY 21. Kennedy is just 19, same as Murphy.

Patience..... have patience...

Really gives his all everyweek this bloke.. In the not-too-distant future will be an elite human highlights reel, his mark and the snap goal were 1 positive from an otherwise dirty Friday night.
 
Re: 1. Andrew Walker - bluegal1983

Practice Match v Bulldogs @ PP

Shoulder injury,
Collision with Robert Murphy, late in 1st quarter,
Looked very sore and distressed when leaving the ground. :(
 
Re: 1. Andrew Walker - bluegal1983

He looked okay coming from the ground actually. He actually put both his arms and held the back of his head as if he was exhausted...doubt he's be doing that if he was in a lot of pain with his shoulder. I reckon he just got a bad knock...touchwood he hasn't redone his shoulder.

A very good sign.
Unlikely to be a dislocation. Hopefully just stirred up the op site.

Depending on what he had done ti may not take much to aggravate it and cause a lot of pain without causing further damage.
Fingers crossed.:(
 
Re: 1. Andrew Walker - bluegal1983

Looking forward to his return this Sunday against the Swans,though i dont expect much as he will be a little rusty,3 weeks in the ants has been a good starting point!

Will be interesting to see how Ratts uses him,iam guessing as a half forward and rotate into the midfiled as he has been in the ants.

Go Tex:thumbsu:
 
Re: 1. Andrew Walker - bluegal1983

With all this talk of him perhaps leaving at the end of the season, all I've got to say is I hope it doesn't actually happen.
 
Re: 1. Andrew Walker - bluegal1983

Saw him yesterday at Chadstone with hoops, spoke to him for a a fwe secs he said his body is feeling good and cant wait to get back into it onto the pitch... he has lost alot of definition in the arms
