Josh Walker

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

 

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?


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.

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.

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.


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!

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

Some guys just don't get the genes. :ph34r:

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.

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
