Can Walker deliver?

[TorresIsGod]

I know he's injured, but now he's got time to go away and think about his football, when he comes back, will he deliver?... the ball to a team-mate instead of the opposition!

Seriously, this guy has terrible skills, kicking efficiency would be pushing zero and his handball efficiency would be in the negatives. So many times he gets the ball, dashes off half back (which is good, if you have the skills to execute the play), then he runs to fast and doesn't slow down before he kicks and oops, it's a turnover, it costs Carlton time and time again, and I for one cannot say I'm too disappointed that he's going to have an extended absence from the team.

No one cares about your negative bullshit opinion.

I agree with you 100% on ol' Tex.
His disposal is questionable alot of the time.
I hope he recovers quickly, gets back in, and shows how good he can be.

The Grand Prix?

It's had it's day and Victoria has outgrown it.

Maybe he can deliver on the world cup

Anyway this thread will most likely end in argument and has been done to death so, hope the guy gets fit soon

Yes. Top-shelf talent, and future superstar. Has edged past Cooney as the best of the 2003 draft. Can't wait to see him in action in the midfield alongside Judd.

One might think you're walking a fine line here DC.......if that IS your real username.

gotta love your work parrot... do you just copy and paste your post's???

 

[nameless]

whos replacing him off the rookie list?

I remeber Walkers debut game, was against our boys and he was very classy. Hope for your teams sake he reaches his potential, should be a damaging player.

 

[BlueBelle]

Walker's disposal improved significantly throughout 2007 but don't let the facts get in the way of a bullshit story

 

[Bluebear]

Good point.
Might see Ellard get an elevation for a LTI.

 

[Brighton_Diggins]

not for another 3 months according to SEN

Well we could've nominated another rookie prior to Walker's injury anyway so two rookie's can now be elevated

The three most dubious words ever to be posted.

The three most dubious words ever to be posted.

how so?

 

[Bluebear]

"According to SEN" are the three most dubious words that could be posted on here because:

• SEN report rumour as fact too often
• SEN segements are run by people who strongly support AFL clubs and make no attempt to be objective when discussing opposition sides.......making them prone to errors in reporting "facts".
• SEN run with "it's true because the club hasn't denied it" and then "Where there is smoke there is fire" when the club does deny it. According to them Judd wouldn't have played on Friday and his immediate playing future is uncertain.

Good enough?

Kicking efficiency zero...handball efficiency in the negatives...exaggeration much

This one is obvious even for you. Do you hire a dancing bear when you cavort on people's graves?

fair enough...
Where do you gather your facts from then?
Herald sun?
Barb?
an 'inside source'?

I dont endorse SEN...
I listen here and there.
But they're generally ok..
they tend to 'hype' as you've pointed out...but if you see thru the
smoke and mirrors the BS eventually drains away.

When the Judd trade was the hot topic it seemed everybody
was on SEN waiting for the news etc etc.
Since then it seems like a few people on here don't care for 'em
either way.

I'd still have to say that from what i've read/heard otherwise
that tex is gone for 3 months.

bugger.

was going to write exactly the same thing, this guy is pushing it.

You know somewhere in a reply it'll be "oh it was tongue in cheek".

Some crap needs to be stopped before it gets going

That goes double for me.

This is nothing but trolling when Walker is out with a serious injury and he's posted trash.

Walker is a great handball and has great hands below his knees for a tall midfielder.

DC should be yellow carded for this.

 

[NWTYRX]

Nothing tongue in cheek about this post. He thinks Walker's disposal is shocking, what's wrong with that?

Are you saying he is not in our best 22?? Why would someone like Paul Roos would throw a major 3 year deal at the bloke not long ago. Pull your head in. What was Carltons total efficiency by foot last year, compared to his and while your at it, pull up the stats on blokes who run and carry the ball and play on guns week in and week out and beat them consistently.

There arent to many and thats what he was evolving into. Talk about kicking a bloke while he is down, his just wrecked his shoulder when he was primed to shut negative blokes like u up. Atleast bag the bloke out when he is out there running around, not when he is about to miss the first half of the season!

 

[Bluebear]

Nothing tongue in cheek about this post. He thinks Walker's disposal is shocking and keeps stating it at every opportunity, even in threads that don't relate to anything to do with Walker or disposal.....over and over again, what's wrong with that?

Edit.

Not sure now you mention it.

As his brother you should know more than most that pretty much everything he writes is a windup

Just because they are based on a grain of truth doesn't change what they are. As has been stated if Nutcase can be banned for what he does then I don't see what is different with DC. Very similar styles just different topics. I don't agree with subjective criteria for banning but it's out there now.

JK has gone so he needs someone else to pretend to be obsessed about

Banno for PM will get a run again soon
