I think with these big guys, they take time. So no issue, it's why they hardly ever demand a top 5 pick. I think it was a smart move taking him with Richmonds second.

Very clever move, oh what did we give then back.

We had him rated at 11 even if no one else did.

And recent history suggests that it's the rest of the league that is wrong.

It’s a long season for a first year player. But with the shite VFL schedule and this concussion and other injury back in April, 12-14 games and some finals action might be a good tick for season 1. It was not a good move to elevate him to the one’s so early. Let him hit the weights and learn more of his craft in the VFL.

MW simply must put on some serious weight over the next 2 seasons. If he doesn't, there's just no way he'll survive at AFL level, no matter how talented he is.
Get him to hang around Half Tonne Mom. Problem Solved. :stern look
 
16 disp and 10 marks. Compares favourably with Tauru who had 16 and 12 and warranted a write up in the HS.

I guess we were initially aiming for Tauru straight up for our F1. Ended up with Whitlock and Richmond F2.

I’m that confident that Whitlock will end up a better player than Tauru

I know he got caught out at the higher level, but the boy has time with the ball in hand, a quality you can't buy.
