AFL Rd 8 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Brisbane

[townsendcalling]

Walsh had a shocker with his disposal the other night.
It was 50%
He just didn't seem right.
Situations where he would normally get the ball away, he was caught.
Hopefully he just had a bad one.
But Walsh rarely has a bad one :-\

There is a difference between being match fit and on top of your game. Just because Walsh is 'match fit' (and should be playing) doesnt mean he is going to be at his dominant best immediately. He's had NO preseason and significant back surgery.

Last year he came back 'match fit' but took a number of weeks to hit 4th gear. I'm confident that 4th gear this year is not far away....but will it be too late, is the question.
