If we somehow manage to get Lorenz, Walsh and Evans as good AFL players from the 2023 trade/draft period and 2024 mid year period, I would be very pleasantly surprised and relieved.Walsh has definitely got something worth working on but he probably shouldn't play AFL before 2026, and if/when he does he may need to back off a bit on the physical stuff or the scumps could be handing out 50 metre penalties like confetti at a wedding.
That aside, he (along with Lorenz) is one of the few feel good stories from last season's drafting and trading, with the traded for players being described by Matthew Lloyd as B graders and even that could be too generous a rating for Ratugolea.
Good points re Lorenz, L. Evans and Walsh, but I'm prepared to cut Aliir some slack atm as his poor form has coincided with the arrival of Ratugolea, and I still have distinct memories of him remonstrating with the bloke in that trial game against the tingles at Alberton when he was continually left to do too much because of Esava's extremely poor positioning which hasn't improved in the real stuff either, and I'm expecting a better performance from the back 6 today without him in it.If we somehow manage to get Lorenz, Walsh and Evans as good AFL players from the 2023 trade/draft period and 2024 mid year period, I would be very pleasantly surprised and relieved.
The recent form of all of Sweet, Soldo, Ratugolea, Aliir, BZT, Kyle Marshall and McCallum suggest we have to go back to the drawing board for filling our ruck and KPD stocks.
Of course that could change with new coaching, development and footy management.
Has the goods to be a tough forwardBig call, hope you're right coz we need a decent defender. Did like his game though - a lot.
I’ve often envied at how other sides have drafted and then developed these athletic, aggressive, high ceiling KPPs with lowish picks. Lord and Walsh have a long way to go, but have the sort of qualities that the likes of Noah Balta has. Scully is the other one although he is struggling to develop as quickly as expected because of the trash around him.Bassett said of Ollie Lord a couple of years back something like big blokes with aggression are really valuable,
Walsh is another one of those and on early viewing looks to have more talent than Lord, his hands are especially clean in marking contests.
I wouldn't mind seeing him forward in our reserves with the lack of height we have in the attacking zone. He would be like a fox in a henhouse.

We must get those three and Visentini in the hands of better coaching and development.
And how about Tommy Alpha.If we somehow manage to get Lorenz, Walsh and Evans as good AFL players from the 2023 trade/draft period and 2024 mid year period, I would be very pleasantly surprised and relieved.

So hard to judge him and Scully by the way the SANFL team is playing because the ball doesn’t get there often or cleanly enough, and when it does they are isolated against multiple opponents.And how about Tommy Alpha.
