and how fitting it is that he's playing his best footy where he played it back in the U18's.....fair dinkum, this kid makes me hard....

i know that bigfooty is a shithole, but it just ticks me off when i see all these "walker is a hack thread". this kid is exciting and he is a bout to makem his mark on the competition...

Walker is a star on the rise and that is a credit to him.

Will he be remebered as Pagans only success story at Carlton...

He has proved me wrong this season, so has Hoops.

I love Walker and I know his Dad's here so we try not to be too critical. He has the potential to be an A-grader. BUT

He will never be an A-grader until he learns to foot pass - kick to a leading half-forward with constant precision.

At the moment, he's about 50% efficient on his right foot, and probably on his left only kicks a good drop punt well 10-20% of the time.

We need better. His foot skills must improve.

That said, he's winning the ball beautifully and I hope it continues.

Good on ya Walks - but it's time to start hitting targets consistently.

But Pagan would disagree with you
I know where you are coming from though!

Well I wonder wether Mick Malthouse will give Thomas a run with role to make him more accountable

His kicking might not be perfect but who should he kick it to? What loose men did we have for him to pass it to? Did you see any of our forwards get out on their own?

He had to pinpoint so many kicks that inevitably some would be turned over given the Richmond players were playing on their opponents, unlike us.

Probably not, but he'll probably never be an accountable footballer.

Walker was dynamic last night, not getting flashy marks or easy kicks alone on the wing, but because he attacked from the backlinem running the ball our, offering a target, beating his man, covering for other backmen. Fair dinkum argue (as people like BV do) about the tactics but enough of this shit that everything Denis does is wrong. Tex is fast becoming one of our most damaging players - that's development.

Walker has been our best player for the past two weeks!
He is providing run out of defence and it seems like his disposal and and decision making has improved.

Walker's a little gem.

Sylvia, McLean and Bradley are better.

Certainly proving a lot of people wrong. Hopefully my boy can start living up to his potential (would help today) instead of only showing up for a quarter.

Kepler Bradley is a hack! he cant even kick the ball properly....

And he can't play on the power forwards yet Sheedy always gives him first crack.

Andrew Walker is 19 years of age and is at the beginning of his third year in the AFL - he has been developed perfectly. Anyone expecting more has unrealistic expectations of young players.

I wonder where Kouta, McKay, Sexton, Ratten (the list goes on and on) were at the same stage in their careers?

Save for Ratten, not even on our senior list?

How anyone can be critical of Walker's progress has got me beat. He's a gun.
