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

[chubbspeterson]

If anything, Trembath, and even more so Curtis, Xerri and Larkey, are showing that pick numbers are overrated.

Outside of the top 4 or 5, it'd be pretty even most years. Dear, Morris and Freijah recent draft steals.
You may have more of a shot at an elite talent in the top 5, but I reckon with the pretty even talent pool and the drafts becoming more compromised, it'll be more about which players you get than the numbers.
And with long rebuilds likely not being all that popular going forward, I think teams will have to split picks and/or trade in futures into a draft they really like and draft quite deep.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Barring a miraculous win of NM vs Crows or Tigers vs Cats, then it's...

Pick 3 (2178 pts) less pick 20 (757) = 1421 pts (~ Pick 8 in this years draft = 1443 pts)

But most people will just remember only pick 3.

Was at the Port v Blues game with my Carlton mate. Had a nice view of Jack's first ever goal.

Fantastic to see Matt get his the day after.

Agree. Going to be interesting.

The Whitlock twins are approx. 5 cm shorter than the King twins 197cm to 202cm but the Kings have the same frame when they started playing so l believe that theMatlock will get bigger in the future as the Kings have done.

 

[Masked Avenger]

Each game he plays is a step closer to being snapped in half like Bergman was

Granted he looks on the skinny side given his height, but he is listed as 94 kegs: He's currently got>

• 24 kegs on Bergman (probably more when Bergman debuted)
• 7 kegs on Calshier Dear
• 13 kegs on Jordan Croft

He only trails Sam Darcy by 6 kegs.

A couple of lazy Sundays at Bonehead Brewery in Kensington over summer might fix all that.

 

[RHLK]

Noticeable bigger than on debut; look forward to seeing him in another 6-7 months.

Go see Mr Peptide Steven Dank and he should be fine

 

[dus]

He’s been underwhelming, for the price we paid, IMO, so far.

Plenty of time to turn it around. I’ll back him in. Play him again this week. Put him back, he’s not gonna get a sniff up forward if he couldn’t against a flogging of the Tigs.

 

[Jimmy's Hot Dogs]

2021 v 2025.

A few pre seasons and hopefully he can bulk up like this beast.

How long have accurate player weight's been available ?

Whitlock, see you in 2028, man your call but I disagree with your view. Which is ok.

Lachie Hansen another one that taught me patience to let guys develop.

 

[kanga kanga kanga]

jack whitlock will be a seriously good player, already looks ready.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Jack is more solid because of all the metal in the water in Adelaide.

 

[bigosacr]

hit a PR of 80-90kg on the bench press in clubs new promo vid

He’s been drinking a Coopers stout. Matt has been on the CBCO Pale ale.

Haha it looked like Powell lifted more than twice what MattLock was

 

[Woolly Mammoth]

jack whitlock will be a seriously good player, already looks ready.

Would be fitting, we've had Paul Wynd, Damian Houlihan, Michael Ablett, Brent Lecras, Sam Power, Cruize Garlett, Joel Tippett, Mitchell Hibberd, Sam Durdin, Ben McKay and of course Brad Scott.

Mackay brothers developed pretty similar.

More people will remember it was securing Daniels that prompted the trade

A bit of a worry, I hope it was 10 reps.

 

[TruRoo]

Mackay brothers developed pretty similar.

Yeah, they are both shit more often than not. Harry kicks cheapies and Ben gets cheapies kicked on him.

 

[pupstar]

So in other words they play on each other a lot your saying.
