Anyways, back on track a little. Think a Dreamtime sub would be best for Walla, and possibly Geelong if we want to rest a few players?

I love the bloke, like all of us, but watching him yesterday was like watching him last year. He wandered around a lot, didn’t demand the ball, and wasn’t involved much at all. When he did get it his skills were spot on, but i’d doubt he got much more than 10 touches. I do think the twos are a tough place for the highly skilled, and probably he’d play as well in the seniors and maybe better, but he did not make a case for selection yesterday. I really hope he can find the spark

We should have poster battle threads.

I went to Scotch for an event. You could play snooker on their playing field.

I think the club knew they had the Daveys and Munkarra coming in, along with Wanga already on the list and realised they needed a senior indigenous player to help mentor those players. And that is totally fine. Actually it’s great. I’d love to be watching Walla on the G, but he doesn’t have to be playing AFL to be extremely valuable to the club.

I hope he gets back. If his last act on an AFL field is the Hawthorn game then I hope he is content with that. I loved being there to experience it and share that moment.

None of our forwards did. We were pretty bad all around the ground. Let’s not single out Walla…he did run a fair bit without the ball. I’m not a half glass empty like some on this thread about his form.

Very nicely said :+1:

it’s mostly just 3 or 4 posters. Surprises me there aren’t more bans thrown around.

I had a fee early on and it helped me.

technically the glass is always full (unless it’s in a vacuum I guess)

The way he was interviewed afterwards, I was wondering if he’d retire on the spot. Not that I wanted a Jason McCartney moment, I’d love to see him back in 7’s big league.

Happy 30th for Walla yesterday (sorry I’m often late with this stuff). Thanks for 7 years of joy.

Any news on why he’s out of the reserves side?

Of course he is! He has a long way to go before he is at an acceptable level of fitness, he’s nowhere near it.

So dropped from the VFL? Is He being rested? Or is he just cooked? Would be a really bad look if he can’t make it into the side for Dreamtime

He’s been training with the main groups.

Wondering if he’s a shot for the Cats game honestly.

A bad look? For who?

Walla obviously. Being a senior player and dropped from VFL.
