Can Sam Walsh be the GOAT?

[Roogene]

This belongs in the bay, surely its a p take? Can't kick over a jam tin.

 

[CrowToon]

Daicos went home with a premiership medalion.
Walsh got what and nobody will remember in another year!

To be fair Billy Frampton also got one. Maybe focus on the merits of the player rather than cheap seat team-based awards

 

[Thrawn]

Hey! Don't put the reverse mozz on Walshy!

The guy was banging on about Walsh getting the best player in the finals.
I think getting a premiership medal trumps it.
Nobody remembers who was bog in a final.
And wasn’t Buckley always behind Hird and Voss because they had premiership medals

 

[RonnieRaven]

The bigger issue is, we have so many future GOAT's running around in today's game, the term GOAT is now rubbish. Walsh is a seriously good player but premierships are very hard to win, and you have him winning multiple times. A lot of if's, but's and maybe's plus downplaying some stats with GAJ.

At the moment, I think Walsh will be a Carlton great and play over 300 games.

Like Marc murphy?

This is gonna go well.

Only 3rd best in just one game? Whoopdee doo.

Sam Walsh was the best player in the entire 2023 finals series. Including all your "premiership heroes".

You’re either 12 or 72. I’m thinking 72.

Finally a decent contribution to this thread.

Only took 3 days and thousands of views.

Bigfooty is slipping.

I'm over here contributing greatness 24x7.

Chief should put me on the payroll.

The rest of you need to seriously lift your game.

 

[kreuze_missile]

For those who can afford Kayo (obviously not Collingwood supporters) the GOAT was just on Fox Footy.

Some truly incredible stats

#1 most possessions per game in the AFL since 2022
#1 most uncontested touches in first 100 games
#1 some other stat I can’t remember

Did I mention the Gary Ayres medal?

If he retired tomorrow he’d already be in the Hall of Fame.

You're a bit like Dave Hughes. You think you're funny but nobody else does. It just so happens he's a Blues fan too. Is that you Dave?

Dave Hughes has made a pretty decent career out of his "comedy" so I'll take the compliment.

I can't say I have noticed any of your posts. Perhaps you're still getting the hang of things. Another 36,877 posts and you might work it out.

Good enough for me. This thread is legit.

They didn’t want to get 4 months ahead of themselves.

But it’s coming soon.

I think he will be lucky to be the best player from his draft.
He is a great player and a guaranteed A grader but I would pick Rozee, Butters, Blakey and Rankine over him as they all have more hurt factor with ball use. Then there are the King brothers who might jump a few levels

WOW, thanks for the tip I just watched the interview

Great to see the GOAT out there doing interviews and not hiding away like other wannabe GOATS who lead their team to 50 point losses.

Watching the same game on repeat doesn't count as watching quite a bit of footy.

WOW, it takes a special kind of supporter to troll his own players thread.

 

[cakewalk06]

Hall of fame player no doubt. Top 10 in the game ATM. But won’t be the goat. Just does not have the devastating kicking skills or goal scoring nous of some of the greats.

A bit premature with this.

Also top ten in the comp ATM.
