Cody Walker scouting report
Cody Walker is the crown jewel of Carlton’s future. An explosive 184cm midfielder, he possesses the same elite vertical leap as his father, Andrew, but with a more advanced ball-winning "hurt factor." Walker’s game is built on blinding speed away from stoppages and a hunger for the contest. He is a ready-made professional who already looks at home in senior environments
