Just wondering if anyone happens to have footage of the interview with Walker after his debut? I'd love to have a look just for comparisons and memories.

I was in a hotel room in Alpharetta, Georgia, USA when Walker mades his debut listening over the internet, has just finished watching the Lakers in the playoffs live. Ahhh the memories.

I had it on VCR somewhere i will try and find it - the one thing that ruined that game was Sam Kekovich's commentary - indiscriminate kicks and handballs and wrong names etc etc

And I was on a beach on an island in Thailand. Had to get a boat to another beach to check the internet, didn't log in till half way through the third quarter. I remember the feeling of joy as I listened to the birth of a new Carlton star...whilst sitting in tropical paradise!

I was at the game with Lil' Miss Wojee, the only game I got to for the year.
She was stoked because we taped the replay and you could see her perched on my shoulders in the crowd a couple of times.

Edit: Unfortunately I have no idea where the tape is now

Why just the interview TBM?
Did you hear a story regarding something he said to Tiff Cherry, in relation to Andy feeling the past tense of route after the game?

Agreed. It would have to rank as the worst commentary assembly ever. Keka and Manton and Jason Bennet (who I don't mind).

Haha, I remember that.

Thanks Keka.

I haven't got it, but someone who is with Bigpond (there are still 3 people I think) can get it free from the afl website with their login and WM Recorder.

After seeing the thread, I watched the game last night and interview.

What a debut!

He was playing for his grandfather who passed away that week I think, and the look of utter exhaustion on his face at the end when he scooped the spilled ball and passed to Scotland who goaled.

He was everywhere in that game.

I sent a private message to you BM, but haven't heard back.

I have the tape in my bag as I type.

Gaining Crescendo as Bobby Davis used to say.

You couldn't help but 'well up'.

Gave us all goose bumps.

Showed us a glimmer of hope after the crap of 'Black Friday'.






I did shed a tear.

Rob, I have the game but not the interview, I want to get my hands on it and doctor my version somehow to put the end bit on...just for 'completeness'.

.

Just a question...

IIRC, Walker's disposal in his first season was excellent. It seems to have deteriorated since then. Anyone else think the same?

And if so...why? Is this an indictment on the coaching staff, or is there some other reason?
