Walsh is a grinder not a match winner
The "grinder" was a Gary Ayres medallist a couple of years ago. The best player within the AFL in a finals series.
The funny part is, if we let him walk for nothing, you'd be whinging about that as well. 7 years if the dollars are not too much is fine. The bloke will be our captain next year and probably should be this year. Numerous top 3 finishes in our B&F, All Australian, Gary Ayres medallist, John Nicholls medallist. Give me grinders of that calibre any day of the week..
He is an excellent player but he best qualities our his running capacity competitiveness and reading the play
His kicking ain’t elite
I wouldn’t whinge if he walked out the door
He has hardly been on the park in recent times
If you look at his whole career he handballs more than he kicks
He is average for entries into the forward 50
His kicking efficiency throughout his whole career is average
Clearances are not great for a mid
His goalscoring and goal kicking accuracy is average statistically
If you look at the stats closely I believe that to offer him a 7 year contract based on his career stats and injury history is ludicrous
I’m sure you and I would agree that the main problem the team had last year was not getting the pull but moving it effectively
The recruiting offseason hopefully has addressed some of the issues
But Walsh is who he is
I love how he tries his guts out running capacity competitiveness and desire
I just reckon he lacks a touch of class
Watching the Grand Final last year I remember Zorko’s field kicking which in my opinion turned the game
So hard to defend
He has become an even bigger impact player off HB
