Walsh left St Kilda because of his frustration of not getting his opportunities over the years.

Cleary Sydney has offered Walsh something special to leave if this is the case. We expect him to be given an opportunity. Walsh is as a key position player. John Longmire asked everybody to lower expectations. Longmire is concerned the public expectations on Walsh is too high, considering he has not even played a single game at AFL level.
