I've loved what I've seen of Walker this year, he's going to be great wherever he plays, but I hope we develop him into a wingman

Just watched his highlights... good size, good speed, confident, good skills. nice
This guy has the potential to be a real solid AFL footballer, my only asterisk I have is why he didnt progress up to ressies and league? Great pick at 50 though. Hope he goes well
He was a reserve player for the league side a couple of times; just didn't quite make the team.
He had some injuries preventing him from playing senior footy, otherwise he would have. Same with Western.This guy has the potential to be a real solid AFL footballer, my only asterisk I have is why he didnt progress up to ressies and league? Great pick at 50 though. Hope he goes well
He'll learn at AFL level. Also I agree with Bastyy about turning him into a winger.

I don't think we need him as a defender ... attacking or otherwise.
He is probably the only bloke we have to replace Wilson long term. He can play wing for now though.
Christ he's got some acceleration on him... and he moves like his knees were designed and assembled in a German precision ball-bearings factory.
Good get all round, glad to have him on board. I can see now why Freo's priority at this draft was landing the NGA boys, just as much as it was going best available.

His legs barely looks to be moving yet they can’t lay a finger on him.
I think I'm most excited as to what he can do...and would love Chris as a Cat b

Holy moley. Do not know if I was watching a young Troy Cooke or a Michael Johnson.
Impressive.

Looks like he only has 2 speeds, running fast or engaging the warp drive and leaving everyone else behind in a blur. I see the Cooke and Johnson that Mighty Mouse mentioned, but crossed with Brad Hills run.
Does he have the endurance to run opponents into the ground? Skills make a zippy wingman valuable.
Edit. rewatched a few bits of video. What strikes me, is that after putting on the afterburners he still delivers the ball well, where plenty of people win the running race but are then too knackered to dispose effectively.

He could be anything if can overcome his lack of confidence.
