Cooney ran rings around Walker,and Ray the same.Big worry that.BUT, Walker to his credit,fought on and showed a bit in the second half.
I'm watching a different game to some of you.
Walker played on Cooney until just before half time and restricted him to 6 possessions.
Cooney had 27 possessions and kicked 3 goals against Port the week before.
Murphy was cutting us up and Walker was placed onto him.
Murphy didnt get near it after that.
A 19 year old kid played ruck rover then centre half back and shut down 2 of their form players.
I'd say he was one of our best.
Agree Blue Vain people see a bit off a flash here and there and think thats a game but
What was Walker going to learn by playing on Cooney? I don't mind him playing on McLeod Aker etc But?
As soon as Eade realised that Walker was tagging he sent Cooney forward. Wouldn't it have been a perfect opportunity for Walker to play his own game and get 20 disposals as a ruck-rover?
