For a small bloke Walters is a little sluggish, might have been one of the reasons he slipped a bit in the draft iirc.
The draft is becoming an athletes paradise.
It's probably why Barlow, Ballantyne, Spurr and many others get over looked. They don't see the players they see the numbers.
I went to school with Paul Haselby and he was obviously a freak AFL player. He also played basketball and just had a knowledge of where to be that you couldn't teach. Some things can't be measured. Walters ability to see through traffic, spin and hammer goals and sell hand candy and doge tackles matrix style can't be measured.
I'd be certain many true players don't ever get a game and then we're surprised when 5 years later they're the ones picking up 25+ touches in the WAFL and have missed their window.
Priddis prob anther example and although you may consider him bad, he can play AFL no question.
