Carlton’s Sam Walsh made a statement with his best-on-ground performance on Friday night against Melbourne ... and with his choice of mouthguard. Meanwhile, Beau McCreery has pledged to take a different path to this year’s preliminary final.
Carlton star Sam Walsh has discovered there is nowhere to hide in finals footy.
The truth is Walsh has been wearing the mouthguard for months, at least since he played against the Hawks on his 23rd birthday on July 2, and no one beyond his teammates noticed. “Then I found it lying around and I was, like, ‘I might wear that in a game’,” Walsh said. “In the past couple of months I have been wearing it. It is amazing; with finals everyone has just got their eyes on you. I was a bit naive probably, thinking only blokes in my team would be able to read it.
After all, Tom De Koning was the name on Robbie Williams’ lips after Friday night’s win, so perhaps Walsh can also make his mark in non-footy circles.McCreery, the good driver in heavy traffic McCreery was proud of his mum’s effort and surprised she had not had a couple of cheeky drinks at the Mother’s Day lunch to knock the edge off any nerves.Of course, we imagine Julie would have had a few nervous moments ahead of last year’s preliminary final in Sydney when her son and teammate Josh Carmichael were involved in a car accident on the Monash Freeway on their way to Tullamarine Airport.
