Tommy Walsh interview

[jono2707]

How many goals do we reckon Walsh needs to kick before we consider him a success next year? I reckon 40 would be huge.

I'm trying not to get too carried away but gee I am excited about this bloke...

Half that for his first year in the AFL - anything in excess of 20 will be good. 40 would be wonderful of course but lets not let expectations get the better of us here. I think he'll need the year to get used to the pace and physicality of the game, not to mention learning our gameplan etc.....

Drago is a big unit alright. Let's hope he's the answer to our KP forward issues.

We had "Staying Alive" for the Spang on a video clip. I can feel a rocky themed clip next year for this bloke.

Oh Prims, there's got to be something for us to get excited over in the off season and this year it's Tommy!

[Primmy]

I guess he is big enough to take on the three of us.......

Lady, I don't have to click play,
To tell you your plan,
That in just seven days,
We can make him a ma-a-a-a-an.

All Tommy has to do is give us some structure and make a contest. By doing that our forward line will have already improved from this year. If he manages to kick 20+ goals I'll be very pleased. 40+ and I might just cackle myself to death laughing at St Kilda.

What position do the RWO people think he will play? To me he seemed to play a more lead up half forward role (ala ROK of old) in the international series, and i know the games are completely different but he looked pretty special in that role for a first year player.

Tommy looks an athletic type so why not just let him run amok from a HFF, a bit like he did for the Irish.

I'm thinking we can give opposition teams problems with the size and pace of our tall forwards if we played Reid, Walsh and Pyke/White in the forward half. Plus we'll have Goodes wandering about the forward lines at times.

We just need to get the right mid/small forwards to go with them, McGlynn, TDL, Lamb, Morton, Rohan types. It's not the place to park the one paced midfield grunts. If you play three talls then you need the balance to be genuine quick and clever types.

Feeling a lot better about our forward line now, it has real potential.
