Interesting.
If McKay goes down (concussion) and if one of Corr/Logue gets injured, who have we got?

Bonar?

Anyway thanks for your services Josh - gave it all.

Played 3 more seasons of AFL footy after being delisted at Brisbane and was recruited as Scott Thompsons replacement and well, the years 2020 to 2022 were our darkest in the AFL era.
Jus not good enough

Gee I don't know, what about the guy who already took his spot and kept him out of the side, Kallan Dawson?

 

[teethmeetsflesh]

When it is all said and done, Walker was a great pick-up for us. incredibly admirable.

However, we need to get to a position as a club where someone in the same position he was in when he came to us would never be considered again. A relic from a bygone era. Sick of this sh*t.

[chubbspeterson]

Right call, he's been serviceable but rather we take a punt on a couple of key position rookies.

Dawson before Bonar.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Thanks for everything Josh. Did some good jobs and always battled manfully. A true shinboner.

 

[The Nostradamus]

i reckon he gets one of the extra rookie spots

but sounds like he will try to see if another club wants him first

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Right call, he's been serviceable but rather we take a punt on a couple of key position rookies.

I think we will finish last next year and will not be in a finals campaign for a couple of years so going young is the only sensible option.

I don't rate Corr, and he is too old as well, but has a long contract so he has to be retained.

Lack of big backs is a real worry.

I don't think we'll be last unless the uncertainty of coaching position derails the year, but I think we'll be bottom 4.
Definitely need some key forward and defender types who are in that 20-24 age bracket as depth.
Could even look at a ruckman if they're not convinced with Edwards as fourth ruck on the list. Plenty of options.
We'll have an ok best 22 that hopefully that allows us to develop Archer and Bergman young kids at VFL level whilst they build their bodies up.

 

[amaz199]

He was a sound recruitment when we got him after the 2019 season. Had limitations but his upside was still good enough to warrant a spot in the 22. I think the frantic pace and stand rule has exposed him a little bit (as it did to other KPDs). Not to mention the absolute blistering pace the ball was coming into our defensive half languishing Noble's not so good game structures.

 

[Engimal v3]

Would make sense - he's handy depth. I like him personally.

 

[Forever North]

Has been a decent pick up for us. Knows his limitations, gets the most out of himself, tries hard and has a great attitude. I actually don’t mind him. Our defence has been swamped the past few years, reckon he’s been ok. If only some of our higher ranked youngsters could be as professional as Josh.

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

If we rookie Walker then wrap the club up.

 

[King Corey]

If we rookie Walker then wrap the club up.

Why? He's a serviceable player who gives 100% every time. The bloke got his teeth knocked out in the line of duty for our club.

 

[justroyal]

I like Josh - kept Hawkins good before we eventually broke. But if just stays as a lock down and doesn’t do any cute shit would be great

We’ve been saying that for 3 years.

 

[Passmore]

He’s been serviceable. Time to move on.

I've previously posted i respect his efforts.

But it's time ino and we beed all the vacant spots we can get.

 

[viccles]

Rookie Jed over Walker

 

[franjon]

So do I, but it would be a fourth club. They can't all be wrong.

 

[tazaa]

Psst. Brothers. Please.

Lets move on yeah. Come on.
Aim higher. Just a little. Its okay to be ruthless

 

[SMaturin]

Utmost respect for Josh.

I don’t think even he would have imagined the shifts he was forced to put in over the last 3 years.

It’s not his fault that the building collapsed around him.

Give him a life membership.

 

[Heaps of fun]

You're probably right. We'll need another warm body in the VFL but hopefully we can just add them as a VFL player like it should be. It'll be a bit easier to attract a good tall to the club with Clarkson in the seniors.
