Faith in Walker

[SeaEagleRock8]

He's found his spot in Dessie's side, he was very good tonite and I expect him only to get better and better.

Very good player to have coming off the bench. He's beefed up too, still quick enough, but capable of tough runs up the middle these days. His try a couple of weeks back was strength not pace.

Good for us.

My opinion
Dylan Walker is a bloody good footy player...
An Ace up the sleeves for games ahead and maybe not the worlds best defender, but in the modern game - but could well be a benefit in games ahead

Great attacking display.

Still a defensive liability.
Manly missed tackle count 16.
7 came from Dylan Walker.

Yeah I thought he played similar to the way he has for the past 6 weeks. Last week people say he was hopeless but this week he is a super sub 🙂

 

[Chip and Chase]

He still gets spotted in defence though, they seek him out for a reason. I wouldn't be putting too much stock in tonight's attacking performance against a pretty weak opposition. He needs to stiffen up the shoulder if he wants to play finals football in the middle of the park

Any chance he takes Parker's spot at centre this week ?? That's what the Dylan believers have been waiting for isn't it ?

From 9 posts above this one. I was just reposting it...as I said.

I was ok with Walker coming on early tonight because we had a big lead and he was ok... but I would prefer Lawton in big games. But what do I know.

I'm getting them from the match day game thread..!!!!!!!!! It states Manly 16 missed tackles .... I've got 9 exclaimation marks versus your 8 question marks.. so I am right.

Good game tonight Walk's.

 

[40 years an eagle]

By far the most polarising player we have...for many reasons. Des is a pro and is hopefully right with the latitude he has given him. When it all boils down to it we all want success,

Had a blinder in a match well suited to his skill set.

Well done Dylan.

Thought Walker played very well again this week, his attacking game is always good, today’s game his defence was very good in the middle.

Only Jake and Croker made more tackles than Walker.

 

[globaleagle]

I wish him all the very best as a utility, or a centre because 'he ain't no fullback'.

When he stood in for tom last night, he wasn't even in the picture when parra scored their second.

Seems much more effective coming in off the bench, good little dabbing kicks, broke a couple of tackles... you guys saw it.

Need as many cylinders firing come finals, so keep it up Dylan!

 

[jbay]

He’s beefed up,
But seems to have lost a yard of pace.

I really liked and like what Dylan offers at 14. I think the debate around him as a Centre is over. If Parker is out and he likely will be Moses will take his Centre spot. Dylan has the skills to either play the link role or with explosive bursts through the middle. He is now a Connor Watson type imo and there’s arguably more importance to a player in this mould than a starting Centre. Well done Dylan

He would’ve had a second try assist if Saab could catch… that kick was spot on

Or if he could have passed to DCE
