Career
Walsh, a half-forward flanker, started out at Street Peters in the Geelong Football League. The following year he did pre-season training with Geelong but didn"t earn a place on their senior list. He instead played reserves football with Essendon in 1986 and after three games was called up into the seniors for the round 20 fixture against Street Kilda at Moorabbin Oval.
He was only on the field for 15 minutes and didn"t appear at league level again that year.
He subsequently got more opportunities in 1987, playing eight games. His other two league appearances for Essendon came in 1988.
