Tommy Walsh gone
No pleasure in it but Tommy Walsh has decided to go back home to Ireland. Pity he just wasn't quite good enough.

Re: Tommy Walsh gone
Might have turned out differently if hed chosen to stay with us. Bad timing on his part when he went to Sydney as they were just entering their time. Oh well, you push on!!

But 95% don't. Sadly the guy just wasn't up to it.

he may have made it as a saint but competing against Tippett, Buddy and Goodes for a forward post he never stood a chance.

Well in his defence 2 of them weren't there when he went there and he was offered great money. Why not do it. Probably set up for life if he invested well.

2011 draft picks 35 (Daniel Markworth) and 58 (Beau Wilkes/Maister)longtimesaint wrote:What did we get for him?
It was a compromised draft so those picks were probably worth picks 48 and 81 in an uncompromised draft.
We have cut Maister so it up to you Daniel Markworth.

Re: Tommy Walsh gone
He also copped a fairly serious hamstring injury whilst at Sydney, some haven't come back from that type of injury, just ask Jason
The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Well we are already in front as Maister played 21 games for us, and Walsh had just the 5 for the Swans.
Any games that Markworth gets will just boost that margin.
