Report Card: Mid-Season (Round 11) - by Dave68

Nothing much to report about really. Hasn’t shown anything at senior level. Has a great build and good kick, but fails to present around the ground and is definitely not a ruckman. Has struggled to demand the ball and does not know which position he is meant to play. Trade bait in my opinion. St.Kilda are looking for defenders, whilst Brisbane and Geelong need forwards. His advantage is we can market him as a ruckman, defender of forward with a good build. May still come in handy. Fought gallantly in the ruck when Fraser, Richards and Fanning were out but did not come close to beating his opponent. Will stay in the reserves for quite a while I think.

Fan Files: Player Profile: by Johnson#26
 
2005:
The big West Australian came back into the side in round ---. Upon return he started to mature as a player, and by the end of the year he looked as if he may have cemented a place in the senior side. His season high point included his four goals and towering mark over Matthew Boyd against the Western Bulldogs in round 17. He was also a brave servant in he final two rounds in the losses to the Power and Blues.

2004:
After spending 2002 at Williamstown, Walker burst on to the scene in round one 2003, playing on star Tiger forward Matthew Richardson. Walker held his own on the big Tiger and showed enough poise to suggest he was a future player.
As the season wore on, Walker continued to improve, with his best game coming against Sydney at Telstra Stadium in round 21. Walker was fantastic early as the Pies registered an upset victory. After losing his spot for the Preliminary Final, Walker was promoted for the Grand Final after only having played nine games prior to the big day. In the end, the
occasion was too much for Walker, who had a shocker as the Pies went down by
50 points.
2004 was a year where Walker was expected to kick on in AFL football, but instead turned into a horror year for the big man who only played three matches, and was not up to scratch in any of the matches. In round eight, Walker was played on Saints star Nick Riewoldt, who blew him out of the park in a best on ground display.
