Carltons Andrew Walker has declared Sundays AFL clash with St Kilda his last.The well-loved Blue will retire a one-club but multiple-position player after 13 seasons with Carlton.Flanked by his two sons, Walker said on Tuesday hed lost a battle with his body to play on until the end of his contract in 2017.Its been an incredible 13 years, he said.Ive had a few downs with a few injuries which is probably why Im sitting here today.Due to a few more injuries I just cant do my job any more and Im finding it really hard to get up every week to play AFL footy.Walker, who said hed been playing partly injured for three years, informed his teammates of his decision on Monday night.Earlier this year, Walker became the first indigenous Carlton player to reach 200 games.He will finish with 202 under five different coaches - Denis Pagan, Brett Ratten, Mick Malthouse, John Barker and Brendon Bolton.Walker, originally from the Victorian town of Echuca, produced the spectacular time and again throughout his career.Two moments against St Kilda - the team he will finish his career against - showed his winning edge and his capacity to produce something special.He kicked a goal with a minute left on the clock in 2011 to earn Carlton a three-point win over the Saints.Two years later, Walker kicked an all-time classic goal against the same team, gathering the ball on half-back, bouncing four times before firing home from outside 50.Nominations for goal of the year and mark of the year came naturally to Walker, who will hope to produce a similar slice of magic in his farewell on Sunday.The 30-year-old said he was leaving the club in a good place.Our game plan is really solid and the kids are learning really quickly, he said.Its made my job a lot easier, leaving knowing these kids are developing in the right way.Carlton football chief Andrew McKay said Walker set the bar high for the next generation of players.Andrew had a frustrating run of injuries across the course of his career but admirably, he always put the teams needs first, he said.He also drove high standards and had a very strong work ethic which set a great example to the clubs younger players during his time.

Tuesdays surgery at Atlantas Piedmont Hospital was performed by Dr. Xavier Duralde and Hawks team physician Dr. Michael Bernot. NEW YORK -- Ruth Riley was momentarily confused whether San Antonio actually won the WNBA draft lottery or not when the four picks were revealed at the same time.It took a second, but when the Stars general manager realized she had the top choice, she let out a scream of joy.I thought historically they went 4-3-2-1, Riley said in a phone interview. Then I heard him say the No. 1 pick, then our name. Im really incredibly excited for our team, organization and our fans. Im looking forward to the addition of a great player.The Stars, who have the top choice for the first time, had a 44 percent chance to secure the No. 1 selection based on having the worst combined record the past two seasons.A lot of fans supported us knowing that it wasnt about we were doing this season, but more the direction we were going, Riley said.The Washington Mystics will pick second. They had a 10-percent chance of securing the top pick.The second pick is really exciting for us, Washington coach Mike Thibault said. Where we are with our franchise, to get another good college player will help us a lot. Its a really exciting moment for our franchise.The Dallas Wings secured the third pick and the Los Angeles Sparks fourth. The Sparks acquired Connecticutts lottery pick through a draft-day trade last April that sent Jonquel Jones to the Sun.ddddddddddddConnecticut and Dallas each had a 23 percent chance of getting the No. 1 pick.You never know how the balls are going to bounce, Dallas coach Fred Williams said. Were getting a nice pick there at the three position.Unlike the previous few seasons, there is no clear-cut No. 1 pick coming out of college this year.Clearly going to do some research, Riley said. Evaluating our roster and needs. Its a normal process. Theres a lot of discussion around the top draft picks and different opinions who they should be. My job as GM is to evaluate the talent.Riley also has to find a new coach as Dan Hughes retired at the end of the season. She said that finding a new one is a high priority for the franchise.The rest of the first round in order will be Phoenix, Seattle, Atlanta, Indiana, Dallas (from New York), Dallas (from Los Angeles) and Minnesota.There are a lot of things available for us since we have three picks in the first round, Williams said.---Follow Doug on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinberg ' ' '
