Walls' latest article how he, Tony Shaw and Rex Hunt went to the football to watch Eagles and Hawks is hilarious. My favourite lines -

"Starved by now, the 'big boys brekkie' served in the Launceston Mall was compulsory fare for all.'
You like big boys, don't you, Robert?

'As we strolled past Boags Brewery, built in 1881, we caught up with a father and son'
..and the relevance of that would be..?

'With the sun on our backs the mood was relaxed. The father was whispering into the son's ear. He was telling the boy the history of the old fellows he was walking with.'
I'll bet he was. '..absolute pompous ********... you'll never believe what he said about Michael Voss.....the other guy, he ********ed up the pies even worse than Mick Malthouse..son, if he tells you that if he was your coach he'd be happy with those big hard biceps, run!'

Quite unexpectedly, I was asked to speak at the official lunch... Guests at the lunch included AFL legend and proud Tasmanian Peter Hudson. 'Huddo' and I made our AFL debuts on the same day on the same ground and played the same position full-forward. It was 1967 Carlton versus Hawthorn but I told the audiences that was where the similarities ended.'
No.. really?

Sunday was the first time we'd seen the Eagles in the flesh.
Always with the flesh.. Wait, you mean 3/4 of the way through this article you're actually going to start talking about the football game you went and saw?'

They now have the best midfield in the AFL
It's a bird it's a plane, it's CAPPTTTTAIN OBVIOUS!

Watching Judd close up you realise that he is so much bigger than the average midfielder
Superb deductive reasoning. So in three years as a respected commentator you've never seen fit to look at a stats sheet and realise Judd is 189cm? Ah well, just chalk it down as homo-erotic reference to 'big' player number #325.

I like the way the eagles play direct, no frills footy. They are the mirror image of their coach.
Yes, I remember Woosh, that super skilled, hyper-attacking pace maniac midfielder.

They would be even better if they opened up their forward line to provide more space for their best four forwards.
........ See there's this thing called flooding, Robert, and there's been quite a bit of discussion about it in recent times. Without getting into the technobabble, suffice to say that if our forward line was crowded it may not have been entirely up to us?

Convincing lazy half forward Ashley Sampi that it's okay to chase and tackle with some ferocity wouldn't do any harm either.
******** you, you ********ing ******ed ********ing piece of ********ing **************** dripping off the ********ing excrement caked ********ing ********hole of ********ing melbourne bull******** ********ing commentary. If you had extracted your ********ing no good piece of ******** for brains from your ********ing **************** for even one second, you maybe would have realised lazy half forward Sampi was leading West Coast in tackles atm?

Just an utter utter ******** brain. I can't believe I read through that.

Wow, 16 blanks in one post, got to be a record.

he doesn't like to be told he's wrong - during the cats/saints game he went off at some cat (king it think) and called him "stupid, reckless" for apparently knocking down a saint after he kicked the ball and giving away a free upfield. the ump had made a blue as king was a couple of metres away and gerard healy pointed this out. they even showed the replay.
"well, he shouldn't have gone in so hard, there was no need.." spluttered walls...couldn't bring himself to say he was wrong. turkey.

Actually, there were 2 earlier, so it's 18.

Would have been more but if I spend too much time talking about Robert Walls, I'm worried I'll have a stroke.

No. Not that sort.
 
IIRC, Walls has one of the worst win/loss ratios for any Premiership winning coach. Possibly the worst. (Like to see his record against Jewell's.)
 
Mead, one bit you forgot - in that article when he talked about his first game in 1967 he said he paid a shilling to get the tram to the ground.

Decimal currency came into being in 1966 so I don't know how he managed that.
 
I would pay to hear Walls go head to head in the commentary booth with Malcolm Blight. No other comentators, just these two taking you through the match. it would be funny....for a while.

Not that Walls would know, but I remember seeing Woosha play his debut game for South in 86 and we had to check the Budget to check there weren't two Mark Bairstows out there.
It was only once he got to the Weagles that he became a tough half back.

I wish Walls would watch first, then think, then talk. And surely as a highly paid member of at least 3 (10, Fox and surely a radio station) football media teams, he should see at least 6 games each week? 3 in person and the others on replay? I've seen Cometti on the plane home from Melbourne watching the other game played that day on a portable DVD player... surely Ch10 can afford them, not just ChEddie.
 
I reckon Walls is just bitter that he helped pull Brisbane out of the mud and helped develop a lot of their young players and then they went and had all that success without him
 
Robert Walls is crap. If he had any other job than a media personality he would be sacked it's that simple. He just points out the bleeding obvious and says "gee thats super".
Replace Walls with some 10 year old out of the crowd who can read stats and watch replays. Just tell the kid to read out stats when they come on screen watch the replay ,and then just describe what happened in the replay even though everyone obviously knows what happens. This kid would be the next Robert Walls.
His articles are just pure crap. Someone has told him obviously he needs to sell papers so he bags players to no end with no constructive criticism.
Apart from his point of view which is either "this player/team is crap/good" he has nothing to offer.
You could tape a footy discussion in a bar between 2 random people at night and it would offer more football analysis than Robert Walls.

Just how much are you paying per unit for that law degree Mead?

$400 a unit or something like that. I'm struggling in about everything except Ethics of Swearing 353.

Have you considered an alternative career where you can really exercise your skills?

Like merchant banking or primary school teaching?

walls even said in the article that peter hudson made his debut that day as well and arrived in a helicopter, while he took the tram! that was 6 years later in 1973 wallsy, you ********!

I agree with almost all that except the bit about watching the replay. On average when they discuss the games on OTC he admits to not having watched on average 2-3 games for the round yet offers some analysis about them!!!

How can you hold a full time job analysing footy without having watched all the games? This guy is a joke.

G Healy is the star of the show however IMO. He actually analyses and comes up with things you have not previously thought of.
