I’m still trying to work out how he was not rewarded for his tackle on Saad, that was holding the ball in any world.

Just a ‘good ordinary footballer’
Totally unprecedented

SOS is a pure genius. Sign up the kid long term whilst we can discount the amount we pay.......genius

Already was suffering from leather poisoning, umpire could see this so it was the right decision to call play on so as not to affect the start of the season..
Well done to the umpires...!

Rowey has a short say on Walshy's performance last night, and Blues in 2019.

eider gree with thatThe media comparing Sam Walsh to Joel Selwood....I reckons that's being a bit harsh on the kid
Still, in three years time the market value of some of our youth right now will be through the roof. Will not be easy paying all of them close to their worth. It is why I kind of feel we done most of the list building hard yakka already. Now it will be about managing the list to always have as much talent on list as it has now and at same time get right balance of youth and maturity for sustained premiership adding success.

Haven’t seen Walsh duck while looking for free kicks yet.The media comparing Sam Walsh to Joel Selwood....I reckons that's being a bit harsh on the kid
Nothing like him
Do not worry. Izak Rankine and Ben King I trust will be stars too. Might be one of these drafts you look back like Judd and Hodge where early picks, no club going to get a dud deal.
Personally. if Walsh reminds me of any players it is a cross between a Michael Voss and a Craig Bradley.
We struck draft gold.
Can you imagine the Club signing up a record membership and then not putting him in for round 1

disgrace - if the umpire was any closer he'd have been de-registered for a fully live menages-a-trios............

He's ok; just.
Selwood averaged 19 a game in his first year.The media comparing Sam Walsh to Joel Selwood....I reckons that's being a bit harsh on the kid
So will Walsh.
If we only count his first 3/4....
I really felt like I was watching an A grade player in the middle of their career. He oozes confidence.
All the rubbish that was written prior to the draft about him being not this or not that, I think he showed them last night.
Very excited by Walsh, I think he will go past many of our recent recruits and be the best we have brought into the club since Cripps.

Was Cotch as good at the same age though Arrow ? Tackling and beautiful long kicks and leadership ?.
I can't remember taking much notice of him at that stage of his career !!
Walsh is ahead of Cotchin at the same age, but things do balance out over time.
It is an exciting benchmark none the less

Alright, you've got me there. Clearly it should have read "....this time it was against adults & Stringer, Hurley & Daniher."
