Walters kicked 46 goals in 2013, the year we made the grand final as a forward pocket/Half forward flanker. But he was consistent that year. he wold kick 3 1 week, 4 another week, have a bad game and kick 1 the week after then kick another 3 or 4. He had 1 bad game every month. He never kicked 5 goals in a game until this year, he kicked no more than 4 on his best game, not that it was a bad thing.Think he was a restricted free agent this year - meaning he's one of the top paid at the club. With the increased TPP, Fyfe not really chewing that up, no monster signings on the cards (that we know of), I'm guessing ballas won't be seeing much of a salary decrease - I mean, we gotta pay someone.
If I put my optimistic hat on, I look at how bad Walters was as a small forward this year. He only improved after heavily rotating through the midfield. I'm hoping that's a sign that any small forward would struggle in our team atm, and somehow, maybe, hopefully we improve next year and ballas can snag 30+.
When I remove that hat, I think shit, what a waste of a list spot. Couldn't we just sign Liam Ryan as a rookie instead?
Yeah Walters kicked 22 goals from 18 games this year. So it wasn't his best year by any stretch. Still, that 6 goal and 30 odd possession game vs the cats in Geelong was a beautiful sight to see. Imagine if Walters did that every home game?!!
