The role for Walsh in the midfield for Carlton is likely to remain strong despite the additions of George Hewett & Adam Cerra over the trade period, his usage will be clearly set by new senior coach Michael Voss.
Walsh is a consideration for season long fantasy at Round 1, ownership will likely be well underweight compared to Round 1 in 2021.
He’s also a very strong consideration to be selected early in draft leagues, a check on his exact usage will still be required prior to drafting.
