Hall of Fame Legend – Robert Walls
Roberts Walls sat in the Chanel Seven commentary box at the MCG to watch the Brisbane Lions beat Essendon in the 2001 AFL Grand Final to claim their first premiership.
He was his normal unbiased, straight-shooting, insightful self, making viewers feel like they were part of the action.
Except internally he wasn’t. He was barracking hard for the Lions. For ‘his boys’.
The Lions were on a 15-game winning streak but were underdogs against the defending premiers. On a stinking hot day they went to halftime 14 points down before a 6-2 to 1-2 third quarter turned the game completely. They won by 26 points.
Robert Walls Medal to debut in Round 9 Brisbane-Carlton clash
robert walls will be honoured in Round 9 when the best player on the ground in Brisbane’s clash with Carlton receives the Robert Walls Medal. It will be the second time the medal has been awarded, and it comes approaching the one-year anniversary of Walls’ passing on 15 May 2025.
The medal was created to perpetuate his memory across the two clubs where he made a major mark as a player, coach and media personality. Carlton and Brisbane are the links in this tribute, and the award puts the performance in this match ahead of any wider ceremony.
Walls first arrived at Carlton in the summer of 1966 after accepting an invitation to train at Princes Park on his pushbike. He went on to play 218 matches for Carlton through 12 seasons to 1978, led the club as captain and twice won its goalkicking honours.
