He's an alias. Someone on the board is having some fun.

That passes as fun?

Absolute steal and I think many clubs would be kicking themselves over a missed opportunity if that was the price.

Absolutely. At that price, I'd love to have Walker playing as a FF/2nd ruck, and Hogan as CHF. Think he could be a legitimate goalkicker as opposed to Dawes and Pedersen.

Suggests to me that Geelong thought they were worthless.

Or they needed to get rid of depth players to pay other, more expensive recruits...

I would say it is both.

I don't think Walker offers more than what we can get out of Dawes/Pedersen/best FF in NEAFL/VFL/SANFL/WAFL.

I know a Josh walker thread is not a place for a deep football evolution discussion, but if Hawthorn are THE model then the resting FF/Ruck would be an actual Ruckman and the Dawes/Pederson sized player would be retired in favor of a Gunston style player. Hogan is still our Roughhead, an agile moving powerful forward but I think our forward line would need to find a more versatile athletic and accurate kicking CHF and focus on drafting great midfielders and composed skilfull defenders.

There's good reason it was that price.

They'll only get a year out of him, surely he's mid 30's.

Getting Walker would have excited me as much as Tom Gilles.

Hey? He's 22...

Awful player though.

Bingo. If they are happy to package 2 players together for a third round pick then it gives you a good idea of how they rate them.

[Demon_JB 1,385]

I'm amazed this guy is ONLY 22.. He looks like he is 40!!!

Walker needs to be the 2nd or 3rd tall. He will be terrible as the Lions #1 forward
