There’s a real chance we could lose him to Tigers.

I do wonder what would happen if we make it to 10th, win a “Final”, end up 8th or 7th.

Do we make it public the AFL have screwed us over with Walker?

We could say … you’d think by trading star player Curnow to give us 2 first round draft picks for Walker would have been enough to secure Walker but such was the harshness of the ill thought new Draft rules, to please Saints President, Bassett, we miss out on the traditional father son, with 2 first round picks.

We can argue …. we can’t force more stars to trade table against their will, for more picks. We already traded Curnow and let go TDK and SOS to ensure we got Dean last year and Walker this year.

We can argue that the Tassie concessions make our 2027 first round pick unattractive to bundle with this years 2 first rounders to help us get our Father Son who has committed to us, and have developed over last 2 years. No teams can give us the picks we need.

I wonder if any team below us would dare and risk picking Walker?

Easy to say yes they would, but they risk his future demand for a trade to Carlton after his 2 year contract. The team that takes him look like pricks in the footy world, let alone the criticism they would face from their members for wasting a high pick on someone who would not to resist the pull from his fathers club….bla bla bla

I want egg on the face of Swann and the AFL and get Walker too. Hopeful?

What chance of teams allowing Walker to get to us if we make 10th or 8th?
