Was mentioned on the AFL website that we are one of the clubs interested in Josh Walker.

I would grab him for sure. A massive up grade on Dawes and could play full forward while Hogan goes to CHF or vice versa.

Thoughts

Lumbers a bit....

Better hands than Dawes.

Not convinced he runs hard...

Watched him closely this year. Can go missing, but he's super competative and a great mark. Has improved a lot over the last two years and is very handy in the ruck.

Should be able to get him reasonably cheap, so i'm all for recruiting Josh.

Has been mentioned here a few times now.

Only 22years old, so he would fit our age profile well.

I want him but don't want to give up our first or second round pick.

How much better than Pedersen would he be?

And what would the Cats demand for him?

Genuine spud

Yes, was a fan when he was playing Tac. Was surprised he fell through to the rookie draft. Can take a grab, kicking is an issue but would back him to improve this with some continuity.

Like the cut if his gib. I'm surprised Geelong would let him go.

A definite yes from me.

Is this a joke?

Josh Walker. The Josh Walker who averages 8 disposals, 3 marks and 1 goal a game and has the agility of the QE2?

I've now heard it all.

Has been offered up as part of Hendo deal with Carlton. Given Carlton's list I'm sure Walker would be given plenty of opportunities, more than he would get at the Dees.

No.

Next.

don't like his haircut

I've now heard it all.

This year he's averaged (approx) 10 touches, 4 marks, 4 hitouts, 1.5 tackles and better then a goal a game. As compared to Dawes 12 touches, 4 marks, 3 hitouts, 1.5 tackles and less then a goal a game.

Walker's younger, will cost less as far as salary goes and has much higher scope for improvement. Reckon he'd be the perfect foil for Hogan.

Yeah. But Dawes has had a terrible year. I don't really want to replace him with another player with the same level of output.

Especially if we have to give up something to get him.

No thanks.

What's wrong with a good old fashioned bald spot?

Only a slight step above John Butcher. That should tell you all you need to know.

Pass.

Actual question.....Who's Josh Walker?

who put out this rumour... the Cats?? I would grab Walker in exchange for McKenzie!!

Kicked 3 in the Semi Final last year and 5 in a match this year and he's young.

Not sure why so many aren't keen? Dawes can't ruck and Pedersen is nearly 30. We need someone else in this role.

22?

Thought he was in his 40s.

A bag of 3 and 5, let's get him!

(Blease kicked 5 once)

So did Jamar. And Sean Charles. And Brent Heaver!

No thanks. Slow bit player.

Gotta say, without sounding shallow and all, I always assumed he was a mature-age recruit.

Some guys just don't get the genes.

I reckon Machsy would be able to provide a bit of insight.

from my personal opinion I have always been impressed when I've seen him play, but Geelong's system/game style often can create a scenario where players look quite a lot better than they actually are.
