Smith's junior record speaks for itself.

Has way more hurt factor than Walsh

Disagree. Something I notice about Walsh is he isn’t content being just an accumulator. He tries to make things happen when he has the ball. Often ignores the first handball and loves going for a run. I think you are underrating Walsh’s potential. I think he has that same mentality as Cripps and will do whatever it takes to get better. Smith might have a have few freakish games here and there but Walsh will have more ‘hurt’ factor on a game than smith with everything he contributes throughout the course of 4 qtrs.

I will eat my hat if smith ends up being the more desirable player by the end of their careers.

please stop comparing walsh to cotchin, bloke has never impressed me...........

 

[HBF]

Let's not forget SOS picked Setters ahead of SPS back when....

That was a tactic by SOS knowing GWS would match our bid.

 

[Arr0w]

But what a year. And not sure what more he could have done in his debut season

Great year, but his efficiency/hurt factor could have been better

 

[The Bighouse]

Trade period needs to start soon,some of us are losing (or have lost) our mind.

Footy trade shows start Monday, 30th. Straight into it.

Illogical. If he knew with certainty they'd match the bid, he would have simply taken Samo.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Let me get this right, we have a player that has just completed the best ever 1st year produced by anyone in the history of the game and we assume others drafted in the same year will be better players. FMD there is no pleasing some people.

Ps just wait until tomorrow night when you look at his Brownlow votes.....

Walsh has amazing will, but at times not giving that first outlet does hurt team momentum, but he combats that by taking the game on as you mentioned

It's a fine line

Smith is also an accumulator, maybe not to the same level, but his efficiency is elite

 

[JuddgementDay]

Anyone got a rumour,so that can be discussed in here??

Yeah, cripps has written his brownlow thank you speech already
Oops - sorry for providing facts!

No great advantage to us if not legit as our next pick in the end was 27 with Fisher.
Think it was warm & fuzzies with the resultant trade the desired outcome.

Noting Smith very rarely played inside....

You stop

Seriously though, I actually gave Cotchin the nickname 'Sam Walsh lite'

Similar styles, our kid will be the superior player though, easily....

 

[therubbernub]

I'd rather walsh than life itself.........

Debateable

Would you rather put Lukosius in there??

Walsh is a quarterback.

Lukosius will be a freak

You know as well as I do that 18 year olds never come out of the junior system and don't have aspects of their game that needs to be worked on. Have a look at Cripps for example who is just about the best player in the game at the moment.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Lukosius will be a freak

Not in my eyes.

 

[HBF]

Its genius actually.
He know GWS would match the bid, but planted a seed with Setters that we were keen should he ever want to leave.

Keep comparing it short term

Bit hard to compare it long term!

But that goes for all player, development is never linear

for most, not all.

Go back and re read my posts, long term

Next breath the usual suspects will claim I am wearing blue tinted glasses
