Roast Tex

[Dennis]

Did he even get a touch last night?

No explosive carry and run, no high marks, no making space

He looked very slow....and this is meant to be the fittest and fastest guy on our list. Didn't chase, no handball receives.....

Worst comeback I've seen for a long long time.

My response is the OP's signature.

First game back...

Walker hasn't played footy for a year, so he's still getting his confidence and touch back.

There's a huge difference between the VFL and AFL.

I watched both games.

Massive difference.

Give him time.

 

[jackoisno1]

look scared going into some contest. Give him a few games!

 

[Dennis]

Jesus...the same excuses we give Yarran have appeared

...1st game back

...give him time


.....blah blah blah

If you are picked to wear that jumper in the 22, then you need to be ready.

I loved Walker giving Harvey a push after a free was paid against him.

Sent that little rat to the deck.

We need more of that attitude.

Probably a bit harsh, will take a few games to get back to the speed of things but he is by no means going to be the football god many on this forum paint him to be (or "potentially" be as many say). His kicking will always be his downfall.

you have got to be ****ing kidding me!!!!
first game back from a shoulder injury were he was out for a whole year, what do you expect, honestly **** off. Walker was fine and will be a star if his body allows him. Close this thread give him time, for someone who has gone through what he has gone through with his shoulders, he doesnt need ****ers like you bagging him. Its so obvious to tell you'r a bandwagoner so just **** off!

 

[mickelboy182]

Piss off, Tex was fine. Seriously, potting a (young) player returning from a serious injury?

Pathetic.

 

[BlueSnake]

WTF!?

I never expected a Roast on Tex.

Leave him alone, it's his first AFL game back in a long time. He's still getting confidence.

He almost took a pack mark near the goal square and wasn't far off kicking a goal either had it not smashed the post.

He was still running hard around the field and having a bit of a go.

He'll be fine and he's gonna make you look silly.

Is that how you talk to people that have a different opinion to you, when your not on the internet?

 

[BluesMan]

OMG your got to kidding!!! geeezzz

 

[Audrey_Horne]

He didn't want to lay any tackles, but I don't blame him. First game back..
Needs to get his confidence in his shoulder back.

 

[Tanks_Alot]

Is this for real? How could you expect him to dominate play when he's only played his first game for the year?

I'm glad that he was able to get through unscathed and he can keep building confidence and momentum by playing more games. He'll be good for us

 

[Team Mo']

Bad call. Horrible call. Wrong call. Piss off call!

 

[gbatman]

very underdone, probably back a little early, it's called match fitness and upper body fitness. He's lacking that for obvious reasons.

 

[CARN THE BLUES!]

When did we become so impatient?

 

[blues4flag]

STFU. Nobody wants to listen to your crap. Dissing a guy who hasn't played senior footy in a year...what'd you expect? 30 touches and 3 goals? He contributed but faded out as the game wore on as you'd expect.

 

[ESKIE]

Some fair dinkum ding bats around...

 

[Dennis]

I'm shitty because he shouldnt have played if he is not ready. Leave him in the VFL until he is ready and can have an impact.

Look at the tape. He didnt chase. He didnt tackle. He plodded instead of using his explosive speed...and the club has talked him up as the fittest and fastest there

I didnt see any of it last night which means he shouldnt be in the side yet

happy for people to disagree...but please keep the **** you's out of it. You wont hear it from me

He was having 30+ touches in the VFL. That shows he is ready to come back to AFL.

He's coming off a serious injury and needs time to adapt to AFL again. No use playing him in the 2s - he's already killing it there.

Tex will need 3+ games to really get back into it. We're going to have to pump games into him at some stage to get him back to full match fitness - the sooner the better.

 

[celtic_pride]

Tad harsh OP, however it's a mistake playing Walker in the centre IMHO, much better off playing him on the wings/half foward flank.

Great to see him back, and he'll be the better from having an game under his belt unscathed.

 

[thylacine60]

He walkered off the ground with the rest of the team at the end of the game - win.
