Senior coach Justin Longmuir says it won't take much to see forward Michael Walters back to his best on the field.

He added that the coaching group takes some responsibility for Walters' lower impact on the scoreboard, averaging one goal a game in 2021 compared to his 1.8 goals per game in his All Australian season in 2019.

Walters had 13 disposals, four tackles and a goal against Essendon at Marvel Stadium on Sunday.

“He has definitely got more in him. He probably missed a couple of chances he would have liked in front of goal,” Longmuir told 7NEWS.

“We will keep looking to try and get him a little more involved in the game as coaches. We have got to help him out.

“I don’t think he is in that bad form. He is playing a really selfless role for the team and doing it really well.

“He is also leading our forward line really well at the moment. He is not tracking as badly as some people say.”
