Absolute freak and he has another level or two in him. Go Walshy Go.

I’m sure oppo fans will hate this, but fact is he was the most consistent player. Well deserved. He’ll win a few of these you would think

Unbelievable result from Walsh given the GF is worth 50% extra votes.

Equally unbelievable is Stamos beating Aph to the punch here...

 

[Blue4Life]

Give me Walshy over drop the knees daicos anyday

 

[BigFrizz36]

Didn't someone recently tell us that Sam had been found out?

Came up on my phone notifications from the Club

 

[ferrisb]

Walsh's first three AFL finals

2nd best on ground
BOG
3rd best on ground

This kid is built for finals.

And H&A. And pre-season. And training. And everything in between...

 

[Stamos]

It's just further confirmation that I chose the right profile pic.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Surely Acres' fingernails deserve a higher finish than 9th ffs

Bloody mega ultra congratulations to Walshy - what a *en ripper

 

[Arr0w]

Top dozen vote getters all played 3 games, some would say we didn't have an even number of contributors, but for someone still so young, it's an amazing achievement

Well done Sam Walsh

[lukep_86]

Positive thing for us and scary for the opposition is that he'll keep improving and reaching new heights. What a star!
