Chris Robinson hosts the The Hard Ball Gets - Good Chat, sitting down with a special guest every week as well as weighing up some over/unders and previewing the weekend. Pick 19 in the 1992 AFL Draft, Lee Walker's career had all the promise in the world as a 6'6 key position player but was plagued by injury from juniors throughout his time at West Coast and Collingwood.  After four knee reconstructions, two of those during his time on AFL lists and 16 games over five years, Walker could be forgiven for turning his back on footy.  But the resilient spirit of the Busselton product has seen him remain in the game, first in player development, then as a player manager and now as part of the WAFC. This is an honest and open conversation with one of footy's hard luck stories, who only counts himself as lucky.  Any requests, info or updates, contact producer josh.garlepp@wanews.com.au for more.
