Walls is way out of touch with the game, you only need to listen to 5 minutes of his commentary to realise that.
I like Walls, Matthews and Blight as commentators as they are the only ones that give game analysis...can't stand the cliche style commentators that just report the match in cliches... "they gave it their all, they are hurting now etc"
Everything he said was spot on on One Week At A Time about the match, Ratten's comments and the fade-out.
Demoralising to see in the replay how disinterested Walker was in the contest. Not sure where his head is. Might not be in the best 22 in 2010 unless they can find a good spot for him - perhaps backline or forward pocket?
He didn't show enough endeavour in the midfield in this finals match. Maybe others (eg Yarran) can be groomed as midfielders in front of Walker or maybe Walker will recover his poise... a lot of variables to the equation.
Wouldn't write off Walks just yet - he missed most of the season and it was awesome that he got up for the amount of games he did. Has also lost muscle up top, no doubt from the operation and inability to train for a period thereafter. Becuase of the injury he probably didn't have the fitness that others had and got found out a bit in the final.
But having watched Walks most of his career he's always given 100%, even when we were getting pumped
If he has an uninterrupted pre-season and relatively injury free season I wouldn't be surprised if he's one of our best next year
