Greg Denham announced on the KB show this morning along with Fisher and most probably Cloke that Walker will definately be up for trade. I believe he is good friends with Sylvia.

    He just signed a new 2 year deal with Carlton - but given the theme of trade week so far, that obviously means nothing.

    I wonder what he'd be worth on the open market.

    If Carlton took pick 18 Id do it in a heartbeat.

    Ive always had big wraps on walker, just a matter of if he could get his body right. Only 23 still I think and great size for a mid/utility.

    But seeing as he wasnt included in the mclean trade, I suspect that the FD isnt too interested..

    Pick 18 is too much for a guy that injures himself getting out of bed.

    One more major injury and that's his career done. Not worth the risk.

    Or Walker is not interested in coming to MFC. <_<

    He was pick 2 in 2003 draft.

    Enforcer is on the money. This bloke is one shoulder bump away from ending his career. has had multiple operations on his shoulder before last year where he did it again.

    Carlton may be trying to be clever with their trading like we seem to do with Travis and Brock. Walker will not gain interest.

    Ha wouldn't it be funny if we got Walker and they got McLean.

    Won't happen - Carlton tried to get us to take Walker in the McLean trade.

    You think their first offer was pick 11?

    We must not put injury prone players on our list. And we won't be trading picks for players as far as I can see.

    You read that in the Herald this morning?

    haha I did, but I still believe it and would've expected it without reading it.

    I thought it was a foregone conclusion that nothing I write on this forum should be accepted as cold hard fact.

  • Quote

    Much like anything else you read on this forum.

  • Quote

    yup, stay way, and dont mention cloke or fisher on this forum again.

  • Quote

    I'd um and ah over Walker for about five minutes, then say no. He'd be a really good player if his career could ever pick up any sort of momentum, but it hasn't and probably won't for reasons already mentioned.

    We might as well give up on footy now if we recruited Fisher and/or Cloke.

  • Quote

    No way we should be going anywhere near someone as injury prone and unproven as Walker.

    Thankfully, it looks like that decision has already been made, since it seems he was originally part of the McLean deal.

    I was told this on Thursday by a cousin.

    He swore it was legit but I didnt post it because I figured Id just get flamed if it turned out to be BS.

    Oh well then.

    As far as it goes, I am glad we refused the Walker offer. I wouldnt want him. I mean, I would, if he wasnt so injury prone. Terrible shame for Andrew.

  • Quote

    No interest in in Walker. We don't need him and he's really not worth the effort of making a trade. As has been mentioned, too injury prone. More like that is the last thing we need.

    I think you mean moot and I don't think it is.

    Reading the Hun this morning it was clear that Carlton tried to exchange Walker for McLean. The club chose pick 11 - good choice. We don't need to recruit another injury prone player who has not been able to establish himself in a position. He was obviously trade bait - but no one bought it - so he was re-signed. His manager was 'ecstatic' that he'd been offered a new two year deal... and according to Carlton he now has two years to become the player they'd hoped he'd be.... hmmm.

    yep agreed - just for others-the Herald Sun states-

    CARLTON has re-signed No. 1 draft pick Andrew Walker for two years, dousing speculation he might be lured elsewhere.

    Walker returned from another shoulder reconstruction this year after fears it might threaten his career.

    But the pacy runner's name had been thrown up in discussions with Melbourne over midfielder Brock McLean in the past week.

    The Demons instead accepted pick No. 11 in the national draft.

    as far as this initial post was concerned it stated "heard that he would be a "DEFINITE TRADE" FROM SEN.

    so facts make this statement,far from the truth..

    so going from "a name being thrown up in discussions with melb" to then being re-signed with carlton.for 2 yrs.

    makes the initial post and subsequent talk superfluous-

    I respect your viewpoint- however, it is fact that Greg Denham stated what was in the original topic. If you do not accept that -well go to SEN podcast - Kevin Bartlett show for verification. Then apologise.

    I think that was the best possible move for Carlton as far as Walker is concerned. He wouldnt get them much on the trade market. At this stage, he's prbably worth more to them to just stick with and hope his body holds up and he can make a contribution.

    I AGREE WITH YOUR THOUGHTS, WE DO NOT WANT HIM- ONE MORE BUMP ON THE SHOULDER COULD BE GOODBYE

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
