Especially the one of the persons responsible for getting lyon the job at stk.
As much as he is disliked, walls debuted as a schoolboy at carlton and made a better fist of it the Zacs early effort, he went on to be a premiership star, 200 gamer, captain, coach and commentator.....will zac ever achieve anything close to that.....and walls of the few playera to ever kick ten in a half of footy
Zac was delisted at hawthorn, had some nude photos, then went out in new zealand and got suspended.....he needs to focus more on not being towelled up by power fwds so often...
My lord you can be pompous.
A bloke has the temerity to have little more than a rather comical view about a bloke who commentates on footy like it's still 1972 and generally irritates footy listeners everywhere, a bloke, I might add, whose criticisms of said player have been unnecessarily personal over the journey, and you think it's time to get all hoity toity because commentator has a medallion and player doesn't.
Walls coaching credentials are in neat parallel with his relevance as a commentator.
He was good when he was proximate to the kind of game he played (Fitzroy and Carlton), but horrible when the game began to change (Bears and Richmond).
He's a dinosaur of the type we give way too much weight too in the current age. Blight's the same. And they're not alone.
Walls deserves a slap back. Sure enough, if he's man enough like the thugs of his his era, he'll be able to cop it sweet. Christ knows how many unwarranted, half-baked, poorly informed, and insulting opinions he's dished up in the past. And you whimper at the first one he cops publicly?
These newsmaking peckerheads get away with drivel on a daily basis.
Silly.
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'
