Bentick: Slow, good hands, average kick and average fitness. Also doesnt kick enough goals to be damaging.

Walker: Athlete? yes football smart? no. Fast, poor kicking skills, too often goes on his left for no reason and kicks to the opposition, good leap and fit. But his footy smarts prevents him to get the ball often enough.



IMO Kade Simpson and Andrew Carazzo are much more better prospects than these two footballers.




Thoughts? :)

Andrew Walker is a pure dud. What a let down.

Andrew Wilter doesn't like it when the heat is turned up.

Adam Bustik shouldn't even be on an AFL list.

Carazzo is a VFL player.

Simpson is a skinny squib.

It's not what you said, it's where the thread is likely to head. I suspect you know that.

Why would a Kangaroos supporter want to go on the main board and discuss the merits of two Carlton players vs another two Carlton players? The inevitable response will be that they are all overrated duds.

Repost it on the Blues board and discuss it with people who watch all four players far more often.

Yeah true, but I did pay respects to AC and KS.



IMO far better players and prospects.

There you go. You set the gag up, let others deliver the punchlines, then you can laugh along with them, all the while claiming innocence.
Once again, I was serious. Why when you are struggling pick a player who is a project player and might not make it as an AFL player when you could have picked up a McLean and he would be playing better footy and help carlton immediately?

Do you think supporting West Coast makes you a good judge of talent? Didn't see you sitting at the draft table for the selection of any Eagles player.

Opportunist.

Oh yeah, I think you or Thrawn banned me on the Blues board when I mentioned I didnt rate Walker.....so why should I even attempt to try and come back there and post stuff when all I will get is a banning?

Both Young, both have heaps of potential.

Will be better assessing them in a couple of years.
You have been blinded by the Carlton fans, watch their games more often.

So if others have a different opinion they are a troll?



Is that what it is?

Found nothing on Walker by you on the Blues board. I did see some continual bagging of Teague, a suggestion that Houlihan is a pot smoker and questioning whether the Tigers are a 24 goal better side than 'Carlscum'.

You're right, you have been unfairly treated.

Walker was not a project player. You don't pick up project players early in the draft.

And that deserves a banning?

Not what many Carlton fans think....treating him like a project player for sure.
