The talk for what it's worth among rival clubs for a little while now is that he will stay at Gold Coast.

And he's always loved it up there.

So does that decision dictate Jed Walter's future?

Third season in, already before he is in next year.

They want to play, and they want to play now, this generation of player, and there will be interest.

Not a lot of it yet, it must be said, which is somewhat surprising, but I reckon the longer he stays out of this side, it'll be like sharks and the blood in the water when it comes to other clubs.

West Coast have got an interest, of course, given that's where he was born and where he calls home.

Raised on the Gold Coast, is an academy guy as well from down the road in Palm Beach.

Pick three in 2023.

So Jamar has seemingly come in and gone past him, so really looking forward to seeing

where that goes with Jed Walter.

And at Carlton, feels like we've been talking about them all week, but Billy Wilson will play off a halfback for them tomorrow night against Brisbane.

We know George Hewitt will also play for the first time in a month.

Lockie Count in the concussion protocols as well.

But with George Hewitt coming in, it'll be really interesting to see again who makes way there if there is a big name, given the imbalance that Carlton had identified with having George, Patrick Cripps, Adam Chera, and Coe in that midfield as well.

Harry Dean trained during the week as well, so...

That's good news for the Blues.

All right.

Sam, thank you.

Thanks, Gerard.
