I think a lot of it is mental, as you've said, JC- his goal kicking had improved earlier this year but he suddenly lost a lot of confidence in that area, which is sad. Not sure what the problem is but, if a change of club helps him reach his potential, then I'm all for it. it'd be a real shame because he has a great love of the club but he needs to do what's best for his career.Yeah it is weird. Because they were so glowing then. What the hell has changed so much? It's like he overheard a conversation with someone saying "nice bloke, tries really hard, will be a good seat warmer til Vards is up and about and then we can dump him." Feel like he is always being envisaged as second string, as opposed to having a place and a role like Kersten (who, like Stevie, might be another "in trouble" in part because of the Menz Machine).
Walker had 5 contested possessions in 40% game time- Hawkins had 8 possessions (4 contested) in 97% game time.Could be because he had 5 possesions for the night....... Well that's the stats in the paper say.
Stats are deceiving terry. Walker
Has a complete inability to hurt the opposition with the ball. I have a good mate who's on the recruiting staff at freo - I joking asked
If he'd take walker off our hands a week ago. His response "every club knows bes available and no one wants him" now clearly freo need a
Forward - PAv is done. But walker isn't what anyone wants, and there's a reason for that.
Exactly. And the truth is until Clark and Stanley went down walker was never gonna play 1's - he's a backup forward on a minimum contract. And that's how he plays. I've realised that most of life's disappointments come from unrealistic expectations.The same could be said about Taberner, ask your mate about him, teams don't want Walker because every team has their own "Walker" on their list. There simply isn't 36 competent Key forwards in the AFL. At some point you just take what you can get.

So with walker - understand tht he's not a senior afl forward. He's a good vfl player. No crime in that! But don't have an unrealistic expectation. He's never gonna win you a game or kick 8 in a game. He'll kick 5 in a mauling of the substandard lions. Cos that's vfl intensity and opposition. As next year if es still on the list - if Clark, Hawkins, Vardy ad Stanley are fit, he'll play vfl all year.
he hurts them if he's used as a forward target in the way that Hawkins is being used. Maybe the Cats are foxing and are trying to keep him on their books?Stats are deceiving terry. Walker

... just kiddin'
I don't go to the Adelaide board.You've been spending too much time in the Dangerfield thread.
Hawkins stats are funny. 8 possesions, 6 clangers (indicating a crap night) then 2 goals.Walker had 5 contested possessions in 40% game time- Hawkins had 8 possessions (4 contested) in 97% game time.
here are their comparative stats:
Walker- 40% game time.
5 disposals at 80% DE. 5CP (4K, 1HP), 3 marks (1 contested), 1 Mark I50, 2 I50s, 1 clanger, 1 of the team's 4 goal assists
Hawkins- 97% game time.
8 disposals at 62.5% DE. 4CP (4K, 4HP), 1 mark (0 contested), 1 Mark I50, 0 I50s, 6 clangers, 1 tackle, 2 goals
Make of that what you will.
Your mates a dick head.If not at Geelong he will get a gig somewhere else.Stats are deceiving terry. Walker

You really are an angry little little man.Your mates a dick head.If not at Geelong he will get a gig somewhere else.
I love this quote, it's sig worthy, I'm going to steal it.

The supporters who thought Hawkins couldn't play were morons. No one thought Blicavs couldn't make it, just questioned his position as a ruckman and why he was never given more time in the vfl to learn the craft. Walker doesn't have the ability like brown, McCarthy and Baldwin before him. Playfair had more ability than Walker.I find all this negativity funny...I remember when alot of Geelong supporters bagged out hawkins, and then blicavs. Give the guy time to develop, he might come good.
How do you guys not see it? He wont make it.Your mates a dick head.If not at Geelong he will get a gig somewhere else.
22 years old 30 games over half played out of position good tank sound body and some up side,will he be A grade no B grade doubtfull,the question of make it is one that baffles me, what is make it? and when has some one actually seen as made it.How do you guys not see it? He wont make it.

"I've realised that most of life's disappointments come from unrealistic expectations."
The mods should include it as an official sub-header for every post-match review thread when we lose.
After those games it's nearly always the over-optimistic who then post the most fantastical flights of idiocy.
Ouch, I perceive myself as being quite the optimist, I don't believe it's a requirement for "fantastical flights of idiocy". Plenty of the pessimists see a poor performance as a confirmation of those prior complaints. They are just as guilty as any turned optimists.

Oh there were a HEAP of posters who said Blicavs wouldn't make it, Seeds- as well as refused to acknowledge that he was better learning on the job in the seniors, he was such a quick study.The supporters who thought Hawkins couldn't play were morons.

Forget Marcus he shouldn't be on that list 5 games and look at the rest.The supporters who thought Hawkins couldn't play were morons.
