Our kicking into the forward line was terrible. Our tackles didn't stick. There was little or no pressure on their ball carriers. All signs of a flat, tired team. I think the coaching group sensed it through the week. Maybe that's the reason they had a traing session at Albert Park.

Fair points.

I was hoping that the days of being embarrassed being at the football were over.

If he's injured to an extent where he is incapable of performing, don't play him. And if he insists, over ride him!!
A retirement lap at the last home game, a lap on Grand Final Day and we all leave with positive memories, not sitting there thinking WTF are we doing this for!?!!!
The whole team was down today - focusing on one player is not really where it's at. He was moving freely enough. As a few others have said, he really should've retired at the end of season 2015. Whether the club wanted / needed him to stay on, or whether like any AFL player, he thought he could go round again, I guess we'll never know.

Dumb decision!!!Because he's well loved and if he wanted a final Game he deserved it. Mate the amount of shit the other CFC players were dishing up today and you choose to focus on Walks. Suggest you go and watch his post game video, we scream on This site for culture to be better to the guys to givebitbtheir all and that man has done all that and more! Casboult missed a fucking sitter right in front 25 metres out, kerridge continually missed targets, graham dropped a mark that resulted in a saints goal, no player had a tackle stick other than one from Buckley, the backs continued to handball and were continuously intercepted... And you are screaming about Walks playing a final game on the G. Just bullshit. He's done the honourable thing and retired with a contract, don't imagine daisy will Do that - and oh yeah he did sweet fuck all today too :

I thought Townsend was talking about Daisy.

In a couple of the wins, it has hard to separate the best and the votes in Jim Park were wide and varied.
This week it is hard to separate the worst - there were so many.
Feel sorry that this was all we could dish up for AW today, and that his own game reflected it as well.

It ain't a spectator sport.... He was nowhere near physically ready to make any impact. The others you mentioned weren't going out to play a game that they'll remember for the rest of their life. The club will be smarter in future no doubt. (Not a fan, but Daisy had more possessions than 14 other players!!)
Would you give Jammo a game next week??? He would be just as well prepared as Walker.

He has some pace and skill but he needs to improve by 40 or 50%, whether he can is another matter.
From the little VFL I've seen Vojo looks OK to me as well but the club has a different opinion of him than I do it seems.
We go much better is a tight, hard slog, if teams can break the game open our lack of pace and foot skills get exposed.
You clearly know very little about the bloke. Hasn't had a pre season maybe ever.
Give him a free run at it and he'll be (considerably) better than most on our list, a potential star.
Too much emotion in the hours after a bad loss. i've learnt, no posting till next day.
