Nick Walsh

Nick Walsh (born 7 January 1965) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Walsh, a half-forward flanker, started out at St Peters in the Geelong Football League. He won the club's best and fairest award in 1985. The following year he did pre-season training with Geelong but didn't earn a place on their senior list. He instead played reserves football with Essendon in 1986 and after five games in the two’s was called up into the seniors for the final round of the 1986 fixture against St Kilda at Moorabbin Oval. In Essendon's Panasonic Cup semi-final win over the West Coast Eagles in 1987, Walsh kicked eight goals 6 points which is still a club record for a night series game. He subsequently got more opportunities in 1987, playing eight games. His other two league appearances for Essendon came in 1988.
