Walker an emg?

[mightymightyblues]

I thought he was either going to be named in the team or get another week in the VFL but I was not expecting him to be named as an emergency.
Whats the deal with that? Its bewildered me a little bit..
Does anyone think he will end up being a late inclusion?

 

[carltonrules1234]

i reckon there will be a late change he will come in for someone because otherwise he wouldnt be named emergency

why cant emergencies play in the ants?

More than one player is named as an emergency, and more than one player each week who is named in the emergencies plays in the Ants.

 

[Blueinblood]

I think Edwards will go out for Walker. Would love to see him out there but either way is fine

 

[koutamarto]

he had better play. I am gutted he is not named.

'Andrew Walker has been named as an emergency and will play with the Northern Bullants against Bendigo on Sunday in Bendigo.'

Why?
The club will bring him back next week. One more game with the Ants will hopefully iron out any minor issues he has with his disposal. This was something that Matty Lappin spoke of in his preview on the Carlton website earlier in the week.

^ Exactly, it's not such a big deal and from Lappin's comments it didn't sound like he was a certainty for this week.

Walker comes in and smashes the Saints or the Swans, no difference to me

He could make the potential dull games exciting....by dull i mean the style of play from the Swans and Swans Mark II

True but you could say in context to our season, it would be better if he could come out and smash the saints this week which would put us in good stead and go for 3 in a row rather 2 losses in a row next week.
Still pretty disappointed he won't be playing on Friday night.

In context, we have done pretty well without him so far, so one more week won't make a difference.

Plus it will make him more hungry for next week!!

we all miss him....id love to see him back but,i dont wanna see what i saw at that dogs practice match earlier in the year..it is the right move to play him for the bullants for the next wk or 2

 

[celtic_pride]

Meh, I suspect Walker won't be at the club next year (he's great trade bait IMHO)

he is good trade bait..but i hope your wrong,we have missed his drive from half back, carazzo playing his role for most of the year hasnt produced the goods that walker is capable of.

Well if Walks came in for Irish, who would Juddy slot in for?

I don't see why people are kicking up a fuss about Walkers injury. I mean, we all saw what happened when we brought him in pre-maturely against the Doggies pre-season this year, and yet a lot of posters on here are begging for him to come back into the line-up early, again? Makes no sense to me.

Yes, because playing in the Ants will safeguard him against re-injuring his shoulder.

Your logic makes no sense - if Walker is right to play Ants, then the club must be confident he's right to go. Obviously, for whatever reason, they don't think he's ready for AFL level just yet, but that reason isn't fear he'll injure his shoulder yet again.

 

[TorresIsGod]

Match hardness at AFL level is the main reason

I have a feeling Collingwood will make a big play for Walker. He has genuine class and will really add to their midfield. I'm pretty sure they will be willing to give up their first round pick this year too.
