Should be available
Walsh suffered an ankle knock during Round 21 against Gold Coast but is expected to be available in Round 22 against Port Adelaide, according to Director of High Performance Andrew Russell.
ANALYSIS
Walsh has been one of the stars of the season and with over 100 fantasy points scored in six of his last seven games, he's quite productive as well. Should he be cleared, he'll remain a top option on a team full of injuries elsewhere.

Three goals on 26 touches
Walsh gathered 26 disposals, four tackles, three marks, goals and clearances each and a single goal assist Friday as Carlton defeated St. Kilda 112 to 81 at Marvel Stadium.
ANALYSIS
Walsh matched Patrick Cripps as Carlton's leader in disposals and joined Harry McKay, Tom Williamson and Josh Honey as one of four Blues having recorded multiple majors in Friday's contest. The 21 year-old midfielder closes out July having produced 100+ fantasy points in all but one showing for the month and still in the hunt for the 2021 Brownlow Medal alongside the likes of Western's Marcus Bontempelli, Port Adelaide's Ollie Wines, Melbourne's Clayton Oliver, Gold Coast's Touk Miller and St. Kilda's Jack Steele.

Stars in win
Walsh scored one goal and one behind to go with 39 disposals (23 kicks, 16 handballs) in addition to making nine marks and five tackles during Sunday's 91-62 win over Collingwood in Round 18.
ANALYSIS
Walsh hasn't spent that much time in the league but is earning high marks after an impressive display in this game. As the Blues keep their Finals hopes alive, Walsh should be one of the key fixtures to their efforts thanks to his whopping 30.6 disposal average.

36 disposals a game-high
Walsh rounded up 36 disposals, eight marks, four clearances, two goals and tackles each and a single behind Saturday as Carlton fell to Geelong 70-44 at MCG.
ANALYSIS
With teammate Patrick Cripps drawing the attention of Geelong's Mark O'Connor, Walsh was allowed to roam free on Saturday, securing a game-high 36 touches on 14 kicks and a personal-best tying 22 handballs and matching Harry McKay as the Blues' leader in majors. The 21 year-old, who also closed out the match having produced his best fantasy numbers of 2021 (132 points), has now eclipsed 120 points in each of his last three appearances and four of Carlton's last five outings. As such, Walsh currently finds himself ranked 17th in the AFL for fantasy score per game (108.69) coming out of Round 17.

Consistent in win
Walsh scored one goal to go with 25 disposals (15 kicks, 10 handballs) in addition to making eight marks and eight tackles during Saturday's 80-64 win over Fremantle in Round 16.
ANALYSIS
Walsh has performed exceptionally well in all but basically one game over the last two months. He's even managed to score over 120 points in two straight games despite recording 13 less disposals in Round 16 than 15, so he's doing well elsewhere to balance out his value. If Carlton keep winning, Walsh's efforts in recent weeks are a positive prognosis for what could come next.
