Guy Walker is a Category B rookie.  Not sure of background or any special reason to select. All I know is that he was a grade cricketer.  

Anyone seen him on the track? First impressions??

    According to Satyr on the thread for Saturday’s training session -

    “Walker has unfortunately gone under the knife for a shoulder issue, should be back next week”.

    He is already starting well behind the 8 ball so with shoulder surgery, it’s going to be hard for him.

    The entire point of the Cat B rookie is to take a couple of years to work with them and teach them how to play.  A slow start right now isn't really an issue.  We'll see in time.  About all we'll get this pre-season is how much of an athlete he is.

    If he makes it can we call him “Luke”? :)

    Left footer who has been groomed to play across half back.

    No rush at all to see if he has what it takes. If and Marty Hore develops well then it will put enormous pressure on Jordan Lewis.

    I suggest he change his name to Mike so he can have a fresh start in the AFL footballing industry.

    No.

    We can call him Sky.

    Or 'Max'.

    He had some nerve issues in his shoulder, fixed now

    Just waiting for OK to resume training

    Neat and tidy skills from what I have seen, B class rookie so no stress

    If he does that, he can rule out a career in television and media.

    sonof norm: to answer your question, certainly some in the club recruiting / list management hierarchy feel he has some hope, which is why they chose him.

    Yes. I think he’s a project like all Cat Bs.  I wasn’t sure if he had actually played as he grew up in the UK. 

    i wouldn't call 5 years from birth in the uk as "growing up in the uk"

    he then had a year in singapore then rest in oz. made choice for cricket over footy at 17

    his father is australian

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
