Remember the outrage when Walsh left us.
His AFL career has been very short, and very underwhelming

I blame Ross Lyon. Shouldve played him in both GF's before Kosi.
Tommy Walsh has now been de-listed by the Swans after playing 5 AFL games with them during his 3 year contract after departing St Kilda in 2011. Is this the epitomie of a wasted talent?

No. Garlett is the epitome of wasted talent - had all the opportunity in the world and the tools to make it, but no desire.
Walsh didn't have the talent to 'waste' so to speak. I realise that comes off as harsh, but imo, he was probably just a good VFL player. He did well as an Irish convert though. Good luck to him.

Goes back to Ireland with half a mil in his sky rocket.
Would have liked to see him turn on his international rules form just once, but it wasn't to be (sure)

Don't you think he could have shown more of his talents if he'd stayed at St Kilda during the 2011 - 2014 seasons. Regardless of who we got with the trade with the Swans, in my opinion he made a crucial error of judgement by switching clubs when he did.
Would have got a stack of games I'm sure considering how many Maister got in the time he was gone.
Very sad TBH. I wished for him to stay so much but things have panned out the way they have.

Irish guys at footy said he'll never make it. After watch 1 international game knew he was never going to be KPP. Will wonder I'd he could of played midfield
Never rated him tbh, never understood the fuss from our own supporter base when he got traded either. Seems like Sydney's recruiting staff bought the hype though. Can't remember what we got in the trade for him but it was definitely a win!

Got Markworth and Maister for him.
hayes

I'm not sure if it's even possible for an international recruit to become a key forward? It's a hard position at the best of times let alone for someone who hasn't lived with the game.
Well we've already won that on Maister alone, as strange as that sentence sounds. If Markworth can get on the park we will be laughing.
Offer him a rookie contract?

please come good markworth
He gave it a crack but he wasnt good enough.
Good on him for having the guts to leave a sport where he was a gun to take a chance in our great game.
He made some handy cash on the way

Reckon you're spot on with this. Thinking of the main international successes they pretty much come down to defenders (Sean Wight, Tadgh Kenneally and now Hanley) and Jim Stynes who was just a freak of a runner. It is because it is just much easier from a play-reading perspective to see things unfolding in front of you from defence. Doubt we'll ever see an international forward: Walsh seemed physically to be about the perfect guy for it but was a long way off. I still reckon if he had have stayed with us his best chance of making it was as a KPD playing on the gorilla forwards but he moved and it wasn't to be.
Setanta. Not that he was good.
