But unfortunately it’s transparent that Walters didn’t pay attention to his employer in the last speech when he told them which direction they were kicking.
Instead of launching the Dockers into attack, Walters kicked the ball the wrong way to help launch St Kilda into attack and get on the board in the opening minute of their game.

Brain discoloration charges Dockers and puts the Saints in early carnage as they beat seven targets against one in the first quarter. Teams that have won the first quarter since the AFL return have won games more than 75% of the time.
As dominant as the Saints were, it was the discoloration of Walters’ brain in the first few seconds that stole the screen from those who were looking.
The old “kick from the opening game” move. #AFLFreoSaints
Michael Walters hits the ball along the way, then the Dockers prompt a 50-metre penalty that resulted in a St Kilda purpose in 30 seconds. It’s not the best start for Fremantle. #AFLFreoSaints
Didn’t Walters know what the @freodockers were about? #AFLFreoSaints
