Everywhere to be honest.
He can legit be an All Australian level half back/wing/half forward. Where ever we need him we could slot him in to that position and he would excel at it. I think having him as a high half forward would be ideal for us though and he can switch with Scully on to the wing when he needs a rest.

Let’s not get too excited .....would he be in our best 22 ?
Confirmed that Cogs and Patton are housemates.

If Coniglio gives word he's coming then yes. GWS won't trade him with Coniglio leaving.

On the wing IMO. He's the best wingman in the comp. Some may argue that Gaff is, but Whitfield is more damaging.
In Sydney at present.
Jonny bringing the whole band with him you think?
Whitfield would win a Brownlow under Clarkson. Pure class left and right side of his body and moves like Burgoyne in traffic.
If he is gettable now you do everything possible to get it done now.
12 months in footy is an eternity and everything can change in that time.
I hope theres a contingency plan for the Bigfooty servers because if that happens this place will go thermonuclear.
We’d be banned from any future trading for the next 5 drafts if we get Coniglio / Whitfield / Patton.
Anyways let’s see how Lachie fares this weekend without Coniglio, Kelly, Davis and De Boer. If we miss out on Coniglio and trade our future for Lachie then it very well might be something we’ll have to get used to. I’m still confident we’re get Coniglio so we’ll cross that bridge if it comes to it.

I'm getting excited, but think we need to temper expectations. BF servers could just as easily melt down if we don't land cogs or whitfield after this excitement.
Hard not to get carried away, but gee this board will implode if we only end up with bit-part player x from y club (even though they'll prob end up being as good as impey).

Spot on - he's probably the best 'both-sided' player in the competition.
Imagine a fit and firing Coniglio, Patton and Whitfield in the Hawthorn line-up! :O
And if that doesn't get you erect, we have a top-10 draft pick this year, Finn Maginness, and reportedly two very promising NGA prospects in next years draft. Rebuild over.
Add Tom Mitchell too.

So he would replace Burgs as our Mr Fixer
12 months is probably 500+ pages of BigFooty posts about whether Whitfield will or won't come. No thanks.

Hawthorn : The Hard Way.
Look I am the last person to rain on this parade, BUT it was reaffirmed to me today the strategy that we are spending really significant time on is to go to the Draft this year with a player like Kemp with 8, Finn with a discounted second round. They think Kemp can become an Anderson. Try and take Lachy as a 2020 FA.
The other reason for this, is we have a potential nice problem for 2020, we have two players from our Academy, Downie (top1-5) and Sanganelli (not sure of the spelling)(currently rated by us where we have Finn this year, ie 15-25)
So GW has to have a strategy to get these two, so trading out collateral for next year not smart.
Also we have to use our first of this year or next in the DRAFT.
It is really fluid
Cogs, Patton and two quality kids like Finn and someone like Kemp will be sensational this year. Lachy and Downie plus in 2020 cream.
Use our later picks and player trades on some structural KP’s and other List gaps, plus FA for a player like Day.
Aggressive re-positioning of the List complete !!
The interesting twist in all the above could still be BHill.
