Some good news for the Maggies with former junior ruckman Tim Walsh signing up to play SANFL next year.

Walsh back at Alberton



FRESH FACED: Tim Walsh after being drafted back in 2007.

DELISTED Hawthorn ruckman Tim Walsh will return to Port Adelaide this season in a boost to the depleted Magpies’ hopes of challenging for a finals place.

Walsh, 19, was cut by the Hawks after breaking his foot in VFL affiliate Box Hill’s semi-final loss to Port Melbourne in September.

He signed with the Magpies on Monday and began light running at training this week.

``I’ll do about three weeks of running before I get in to the ball work,’’ Walsh said.

``Hopefully I get a trial (game) in and play Round One.’’

Walsh had returned for the Chrismas holidays to his family’s farm in Cowell on the Eyre Peninsula when Hawks football manager Mark Evans called to let him know he had been delisted.

``I was pretty shattered. I was playing really well at Box Hill so I think the broken foot had a lot to do with it,’’ Walsh, who spent two seasons on Hawthorn’s list, said.

``But I’m also looking forward to working and spending time with my friends in Adelaide and at the footy club. It’s good to be home.’’

Walsh was selected with the 27th pick in the 2007 AFL Rookie Draft after impressing in Port’s under-19s and the state under-18 team.

He spent most of the 2008 season recovering from a knee injury, missed three months of football last year with ``bone stress’’ in his foot and was never promoted to the senior list.

But Walsh, who had two pins inserted in to his broken foot following last season, said he was confident his injury battles were behind him and he could add leadership to the young Magpies outfit.

``I ran on Monday night and it feels really good.

``Hopefully I can help out the younger ruckmen and give a little bit of input in to the midfield.’’

Port coach Tony Bamford said he was pleased to secure the 197cm tall.

``Tim will give us a bit of height along with Cameron Cloke (the Power rookie taken by the Magpies in the SANFL mini-draft),’’ Bamford said.

This could help the Magpies .As the Eagles have picked up young West Whyalla lad Ben English .Not much of him .And he will take a couple of years .But watching him have ruck Practice with Rhett Biglands this young lad has a very good leap on him .

Eagles would have had to pay a significant fee (I believe about $8-10,000) for Chubb's clearance. Given his past history with injuries, he couldn't guarantee the Eagles at least 2 years of games so whilst Eags disappointed to lose him, he went with their blessing to the Bloods.

If the Tenace rumour proves true he would be a sensational recruit for the Bays IMHO.

[charlieslim]

i thought he was overseas until february ...hardly an ideal preparation for league footy, so i doubt it

Brad Sugars nearly stayed in the UK and was going to play with the Putney Magpies in London AFL league.

Has pace yes... is SUPER quick...but a player very similar in the mould of David Clarke in my opinion.

Clarke wasn't that quick from memory. Tenace (if true) would be a very good replacement for Fish, but going by Brewster's cryptic clues about tennis courts & bowling greens, only the Eagles have both of those.....

But are also waaaay over the celery cap (or at least don't have enough to pay an ex-AFL player)

Clarke was very quick in his day, I too rate them similar players but feel Tenace "may" be coming over a bit younger and with less injury problems than Clarkey had. Will be good to watch when he finds some space.

IIRC I dont think there would be too much between Tenace and Clarke pacewise when their cattery days ended?

Not sure he'll find too much of that on the Glenelg Oval...

Are you saying he is an outside/receiver type? Not what the Bays need I would of thought.

Instant replacement for McConnell?

Interesting that they didn't use the same criteria in relation to Scott Welsh.
