Player Watch #35: Matt "The Swingman" Whitlock! - Extends contract to 3 years.

[Kangaroos4eva]

Who was considered the better Whitlock at under 18 level, Matt or Jack?

Depends who you ask, but Jack as he was the key forward, while Matt was swung around a bit.

His shoulders are 1.4 off the ground, the top of his head 1.98

Gasping for air trying to handball. Delist.

Was very similar to the Ben v Max King discussion in the draft. Max was seen as slightly better as he was settled up forward, where Ben was mostly down back / a swing man when Max wasn't in. I guess we saw how that's played out overall... though that's probably an unfair statement given Max's retched run with injuries...

He's clearly attempting to swallow bugs for ambient protein gains.

Max is a gun. They’re both guns. They are both far superior to the whitlocks

What really shit me about Matt was his debut video call with the “lads” .. all little eshay campaigners. Thats what really turned me off him

Just been injured basically his entire career

So your guessing

 

[DuckYeah]

So your guessing

Absolutely not. Even on junior careers. Whitlocks arent fit enough, temu versions

 

[DuckYeah]

Objective and unbiased opinions. Its a rare trait when you love something as much as I do.

How much of their junior careers did you actually watch live.

 

[DuckYeah]

How much of their junior careers did you actually watch live.

how much football do you watch? Live? You’d be lucky to turn up to one north game a year. Ive been to more North AFLW games in the last 5 years than youve been to North games in the same time

 

[pupstar]

how much football do you watch? Live?

None as i live in Cairns only when there are games up here,

So you dont live in football territory and you want to question others? When was the last year you kicked a football?

Very true you would have seen many many more games in the last 5 years but I'm not the one saying they where not fit enough as juniors with out even seeing them play as juniors. But since i have been supporting the NMFC since 1975 and moved to Cairns in 2000 after watching both the 1996 and 1999 GF live and going to watch us live most weeks from the mid 80s until i moved to Cairns i reckon i would have seen many many more live games than you but who really cares. I am more concerned that you think they where unfit as juniors without even seeing them playas juniors Enjoy the rest of your night
