Is Walker the worse pick 2?

[What_The?]

One game wonder, useless, can not kick and can not Mark.

Yes he is fast, but all it means is that he gets to where the ball is not 3 secs before he would have.

Has no football brain.

Used as a tagger because Carlton did not want to drop him.

Walker will be better than Stanton.

 

[nonchalance]

Worse than who?

 

[Tricky_Ricky2]

Walker will be better than Stanton.

[Silvagnis]

This is a really innovative thread I've never seen done before.

Yeah because we had to be hackls to get pick 2 to get Stanton didnt we?

Worse pick 2 in the last 5 years.

Usually I'd be quick to jump up and defend Walker like I've done on the past 1000 occasions but instead of entering a pointless argument with you, I can live in peace knowing that you are about to gain the services of another old Carlton player who you will play instead of your youngsters and thus drill yourself into a similar rut that Carlton did.

Campo one of our best players? Cmon...he stopped being one of our better players when he came up with the idea that he was greater than the team.
The team is greater than the player and if he thinks he can hold the club to ransom, he can get lost because that is not the type of players I want around our developing kids.

Way too early to call,look at Hodge took a couple of years to find his feet and now there's no stopping him.

i never said best. i said better. and at least he has got undoubted talent, most of our list is full of d-grade hacks.

 

[doggies]

no he won't be.

 

[Tricky_Ricky2]

now thats a really credible argument.......the bloke popped his hip out and ahd played 2 gmaes in 4 years before he made his debut in the big time, on a wet and pathetic day for football. give him a year.

Different situation here, Injuries was the number 1 factor stopping Hodge, He always had the skills and smarts, he just wasn't fit and couldn't get on the park to do a pre season.

First point -- the word you are looking for is worst. Not worse.

Example: Essendon was one of the worse-performing teams in the AFL this year, but not the worst.

Second point -- try to come up with something more original when you're thinking up your next thread topic.

Talent counts for nothing when your a selfish pig.

 

[Johnson#26]

Give the guy time! Do you remember his brilliant effort on debut, which had everyone raving? Young players, particuarly tall ones, take time. Give him time, and he should pull through. Using him as a tagger for much of the season was a solid move by Pagan.

 

[Statistician]

Thank you for bringing up this topic it hasn't been discussed thousands of time before.

 

[SurreyBlue]

How ironic, Essendon supporters talking about other teams youngsters not being good enough.

He is still only 19 for f****sake
Give him time & I have no doubt he will be a champion.
Walker>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>any youngster on Essendon's list!

Jarrad Waite, Andrew Walker, Brad Fisher, Kade Simpson, Eddie Betts, Brett Thornton, Adam Bentick, Andrew Carrazzo to name a few! Good luck

stanton finished 3rd in our best and fariest. and he is yet to turn 20. lovett finished 9th in his first season at the top level. and he is 22. dyson was superb in the latter stages on the year. laycock has a huge future ahead of him as a ruckman and foward. david hille is only 23. he is still a youngster and expect a huge 2006. adam mcphee is 23 For ********s sake. kepler bradley is playing CHB at the age of 19. he has domianted or had more of an impact on more games than Walker has.

Jarred Waite came 5th in ur B&F, Carazzo 9th. they were the youngest.
uve got waite and carazzo and no other good youngsters.
