Suns have 8, 11, 18, 29, 57, 65. Couple for Curnow. Couple for academy picks. Bonza.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Would be infinitely better than Walter, that lad is a prime example of a monster playing against kids in a non-footy state. Cannot kick.

He is only young, he will develop into a star. Has the attributes IMO

Big men take time to grow into themselves

People had reservations about Sam Darcy, one of the best in the comp now.

Darcy can kick left & right, Walter struggles on his right. A Hawthorn scout in the Clarkson days told me they weren't interested in kids that couldn't kick, and I think this rings true.
He's also extremely well developed from a physical standpoint, unlike the skinny kid Darcy was when he got picked up.

Watching Walter take a set shot against the Crows on the weekend, as he's walking in, takes his right hand off the ball, then puts it back in a different spot, and shanks the kick altogether. Horrible technique, if anything I'd be swapping him and Mac Andrew, they can both be more impactful if they swapped ends.

I think Read is a much better prospect for the Suns, especially as a forward.

And we are NOT a club that can develop players who can't kick.
