Salary cap issues and its a raid on our younger players, we still keep the unskilled workers on the big dollars. This is painful.

Don't know they'd have to give us anything he is rookie no contract

Agree with sentiment above

sainterinsydney · Fri 14 Oct 2011 12:42pm

I mean are we a bunch of amateurs? The guy is obviously going to be a good player, and we have put the time into him. If Swans get him just when we have got him cherry ripe, I will scream until my lungs explode. Also, Kennelly, %^&* OFF!!!

defacto ,,
No one would probably be interested in Blake, Polo and Gamble - yet they all got games ahead of Walsh - who did not even get a look in ?

sainterinsydney · Fri 14 Oct 2011 12:45pm

I'm not saying trade those guys--I'm saying dump em!!! If we need cash for Tommy, get it anyway you can. Its annoying enough being at Sydney games with their bandwagoner fans, but to see them cheering Tommy Walsh would make me physically sick.

If he goes it's fairly and squarely on Ross's head

Easy.

Hasn't gone yet.

Anyway, hasn't Kennelly retired?

He still wouldn't know anyone, and would have to move interstate, and still be behind Reid.

If he really wants an irish friend, we could get Sentanta.

All true K, but we shouldn't even be in this position where we're slightly concerned.

Let's hope that the Club gives him some sort of certainty about getting a set run of games this year. Without a Coach, I know that it's difficult to do and "promising" games is fraught with danger.

The question is, do we want Tommy, or not? The opposing view is that he is yet to prove anything, but after the Club has put years into him, his late games at Sandy were very good. The alternatives could be - use Pick 37 to get a big forward, or get Fevola

Neither are good alternatives.

yes a player whose main claim to fame is being suspended for belting a team mate in a practice match

Haven't we invested as much time and effort into a bloke like Heyne. Would you be that upset if he was up for grabs. He has actually played senior footy with the Saints.

I think we all want Tommy to be a gun, but I'm not so sure he ever will.

Doesn't mean I don't want him to be one!

THATS the truth. What is this amatuer hour? I mean FFS, you put time and effort into a guy..just to let him float so other clubs can cherry pick? are we a **** joke?

IF he walks this is seriously one of the poorest efforts by the previous coach, list management team and Board Ive seen ....and there's been some poor ones...

FFS offload Polo, Blake? (how old?) and think about the future. I mean surely Ray/Gram/Dawson can be worked through to help.

SainterK · Post: # 1162105Post **SainterK** » Fri 14 Oct 2011 1:00pm

Why is everyone so sure we haven't put an offer to him?

What am I missing here?

Everything I've (officially) read points to him staying, than not.

Have to say though, list management before Bains / Pelchen came along was interesting to say the least.

Old Mate · Post: # 1162106Post **Old Mate** » Fri 14 Oct 2011 1:04pm

Would we get compo if he went...being a rookie?

Eastern · Post: # 1162108Post **Eastern** » Fri 14 Oct 2011 1:05pm

I think we need to ask some serious questions re Tommy Walsh;

1. Is he over-rated on this board?

2. Is he under-rated by St Kilda FC?

3. Has he developed enough to play AFL at the highest level?

4. Can he develop into a super-star (at St Kilda or elsewhere)?

5. Are there issues we don't know about?

There are probably more questions that others might like answered. I know one thing for sure and that is that I don't know the answers to any of these questions !!

sainterinsydney · Fri 14 Oct 2011 1:06pm

Gusto, where did you hear about the Swans gunning for him?

sainterinsydney · Fri 14 Oct 2011 1:07pm

By the way, Ameet said on SEN the other day that Walsh was a required player next year.

1) Depends who you ask. Those that have watched his development rate him quite highly.
2) No
3) Yes
4) What has superstar status got to do with anything? Only a handful of players in the AFL are or can be superstars....
5) No
