    Andrew Walker.

    According to a family member he had a meeting and Medical at the Whitten Oval this morning. I would be very happy to have him at the Dogs, especially over Tambling.

    Re: Andrew Walker.

    Everitt for Walker or do we use the mercenary pick?

    He certainly has pace and looked good running off the half back line this year - his kicking remains an issue. With guys like Boyd, Cross and Ward doing the grunt work, he could fit in as an outside runner.

    It'll be an interesting trade week.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Walker looked alright as a forward in the EF v Sydney too.

    I'd take him over Everitt and probably Tambling too, if we were tossing up options.

    A straight swap for Everitt would be nice.

    Adelaide are still going hard for him, but we've joined the race and are in with a chance. Hopefully I'll have some more info on this tomorrow.

    From my understanding and putting 2 and 2 together (which can add up to 5 sometimes) Chef either works or comes from Bendigo perhaps we Walker is from.

    Hmmm. I'm not sure about Walker. I've always put him in my Cameron Mooney-faux-hardman-basket.

    However, he is a great athlete, and he can turn it on. Can he stay fit? Can he stay focussed?

    Faux hardman >>>> soft as butter.

    That said, Goddard is also in that faux hardman category, i'd take him in a flash, but with Walker, i believe he is a real late developing type, i think he is quality, but just needs a new enviroment, would much prefer him to tim tam Tambling.

    I put 'faux hardmen' into two categories.

    1- Players who do wanky/faux 'hard' acts on the field like bumping a player when he is doing his laces but is actually tough anyway

    2- Players who do that crap in place of doing actual tough stuff

    I would make Will Minson the captain of that category.
