Can Sam Walsh be the GOAT?

[kreuze_missile]

GOAT = the greatest of all time by the way.

Gary Ablett Jr who is often put in the GOAT discussions at 23 had:

• 0x Premierships (Walsh is about to get 1)
• 0 Brownlow medals (Walsh would probably already have 1 if it wasn't for Cripps)
• 0x Rising Star (Walsh has 1)
• 0x All Australians (Walsh has 1)
• 0x Mark of the Year (Walsh has 1)
• 0x B&F's (Walsh has 1)
• 0x AFLCA Best Young Player (Walsh has 1)
• 0x Gary Ayres Medals (Walsh has 1)
• 16 Brownlow votes (Walsh has 63)

So at the same age, Sam Walsh

is unquestionably miles ahead of Gary Ablett Jr. Arguably the fittest player in the comp. Elite on both feet. Can play inside. Outside. Kicks goals. Runs both ways. Tough as nails. Tackles hard. The complete player.

Has nearly a decade of his prime left. When it is all said and done will likely be a multiple premiership player. Stands up in finals so likely jags a Norm Smith or three. Proved his greatness in September last year having won the prestigious Gary Ayres Medal.

Should he continue at the same level I can see no reason as to why Walsh couldn't be the GOAT. And if not the best of all-time, certainly the best of his generation.

What do y'all think?

 

[Pancakes]

Wasn't this the guy that was made to look stupid and lazy by Nick Daicos recently, when Walsh showed his lack of football understanding and let Daicos run off him easily and kick the game winner?

[Chism]

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I think it's more likely than not.

 

[Spirit Level]

lol

 

[Cleansweep17]

Well it’s more legit than the Daicos one at least

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

It is one of those threads you hope and pray your own club hasn’t started and then …….

My reaction when I saw it

 

[Doc1763]

No. As Jack Dyer would say, a good ordinary footballer.

My thoughts exactly

We don’t claim him.

 

[SSSSSS]

 

[Chism]

What if i told you KM is a Chief alias drumming up traffic and reactions for his retirement fund??

More people that talk = More cash!!!

 

[Cleansweep17]

No. As Jack Dyer would say, a good ordinary footballer.

Please keep Pendlebury out of this quality thread

 

[CharacterFirst]

I though he already was.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Not even the best player on his team

And this my friend is why people shouldn’t drink and post.

 

[T2B_]

If he gets back to his Gary Ayres form then yep why not

If he gets back to his Gary Ayres form then yep why not

Just waiting for the business end of the season to arrive.

April to June is a bit boring for the GOAT.

You're not serious are you?

 

[kreuze_missile]

You're not serious are you?

I admit I just guessed how many Brownlow votes Gary Ablett Jr had at age 23.

Otherwise this thread is 100% rock solid.

Ablett was younger than Walsh is now all through 2007 when he won pretty much everything
