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.

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.

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

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
