We all know how the AFL works.
Walsh will play one decent game R1 followed by 20 forgettables and still win the RS.
Hold until you see Sam Walsh play a few games that will give a better picture perhaps.
My gut feel is he'll be a ripper and an elite AFL midfielder nothing less and yes he'll give the RS a good shake.
Sam's maturity, mentality and physical preparedness for AFL completion is quite extraordinary for a youngster.
Numerous coaches and respected footballers seem to think the same, can they be all wrong too?.
