Agree. Thought he might have run around the mark with his last kick for goal.More impressed with him today than I was last week. Never stopped or complained against bigger bodies and worked his backside off. Still able to show his class late in the game when others were tiring.
balanced like bradley........I said it........
Better play as long toobalanced like bradley........I said it........
I'd like someone to point out an error that Walsh has made with ball in hand - just one over the course of 2 JLT games. Walsh is already a top5 player for Carlton in my books - scary good - extremely pleased the new Carlton didn't get sucked into soggy biscuit reach for Shiel and give up getting this future Captain of the Club. Fisher/SPS/Cuningham/Dow/LoB can all look to how he plays if they want a role model for their running game and knowing how to position for team mate's advantage.
He'd be around 10th imoI'd like someone to point out an error that Walsh has made with ball in hand - just one over the course of 2 JLT games.

That could also be regarded as an advantage, as it was in JLT 1 when he unexpectedly sidestepped and went inboard through centre corridor; in that it disrupts the opposition defenders reading of the upcoming play, and reduces the probability of an intercept. The key is for his team mates to learn his mode of play.Walsh is showing composure, work ethic beyond his years.
Only one very very minor observation, I love that he takes the game/opposition on, but when he decides to side step an opponent and rebalance, it disrupts the space our leading/outlet targets have further up the ground, which stifles ball transition
Either move the ball on with first option, or continue to gain ground, to disrupt the opposition press
As I said, just a minor observation
Looking forward to seeing him run all night on the G

While you never want to stifle players wanting to take the game on, the key is the gameplan, not an individual's mode of play
Fun, albeit meaningless, exercise. Assuming fit I'd very arbitrarily have top 10 rankings something like:I'd like someone to point out an error that Walsh has made with ball in hand - just one over the course of 2 JLT games.

Noticed the Collingwood players being quite physical with young Sam.
His opponents also ran extremely hard both ways.
He looked quite fatigued at the end of the match. But kept wiling himself on..
Will be all the better for it.
Walsh will be right behind Cripps as our 2nd best midfielder in blink of an eyelid. He’ll be a great Carlton player.

Why 2nd best? From what I’ve seen in his first professional games of AFL (seen all 3) if he improves in line with average AFL standards of improvement (with his work ethic you would assume that’s the bare minimum) he’ll be as good if not better than Crippa within 3 to 4 years, maybe even sooner. That’s saying something! Add Samo and Dow who show elite traits as well and by 2021 we’ll have four of the premiere midfielders in the game in their prime or entering their prime and Walsh is more than likely going to be the best of the lot. Plus Setters, Fish and Obrien who could be anything as well. Exciting times to be a blues supporter
