Carlton could be set to add club legend Robert Walls to their football department, according to Channel Seven journalist Tom Browne.
โTwo club powerbrokers are pushing to have a surprise person involved in the club next season โ Robert Walls,โ Browne toldย Channel Seven's 'Talking Footy'.
โThe proposed role, observe all facets of the footy department and assist where necessary."
โI understand Walls has spoken with Brendon Bolton and new footy boss Brad Lloyd and Boltonโs considering the offer."
โWalls is prepared to do it, Bolton is on a break weighing it up."
โThis is being considered by all parties as a realistic option.โ
If Walls accepts a role at the Blues, it will be the first time he has held a position at a club since he was sacked as Richmond coach in 1997.
Former Melbourne captain Gary Lyon is uncertain by how the position will work.
โThose roles to me appear to be a thing of the past because part time and just wandering in every now and then walking away, those used to be very much in vogue because it was a part time industry," Lyon said on SEN Breakfast.ย
โIโd be interested to know how that would work in 2018.โ
