Lachie Whitfield

[stringertheking]

Apprently Giants are facing an up hill battle to keep him. What would you hand over to get him?

 

[Xenthor]

Second rounder...that's about it tho
Should help them get academy points and gives Melbourne and alright winger/flanker

 

[cotter101]

Worth more than that.

Our first rounder for Whitfield

 

[Balony_pony16]

If he wasnt a #1 pick he wouldnt be worth much. He is getting over taken by other talent within GWS at a great rate. Aish was worth a 2nd round after 2 years and a year after featuring high in the rising star followed by an injury interrupted 2nd season.

The nature of trades unfortunately is that unless you are pushing elite you are worth not much on the table (boyd likes the exception). Doesnt mean it is right but it is just how it is.

Poaching players is a great way to get elite young talent on the cheap

Aish went for 2 2nd rounders.

Thats what id pay for Whitfield.

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

Young, high draftee with underdeveloped physique talented starting to blossom, putting off contract talks.

Welcome to Hawthorn Lachie.

 

[Scotland]

O'Rourke + pick 43 went for picks 19 and 40 after 9 games in two years.

Whitfield has played 51 in three so far so he's a bit more established.

I'd say he'd fetch a similar price to Aish. A late first rounder or two decent second rounders perhaps. Bare in mind that these sort of picks are more valuable to academy clubs with the points system.

 

[Xenthor]

Lol

What's wrong with a second rounder?? Maybe a third as well if GWS were going to bitch about it
What would you offer for him?

 

[Determinant]

Sorry to be the one to break it, but Lachie is going nowhere, spent a lot of time at Tom Wills and it would be hard to find a guy more committed to the Giants

So committed that he hasn't signed a new deal yet that no doubt would have been offered to him by now

 

[Young_Guns]

He played 21 games last season and averaged just under 22 possessions, so its not as if he is floating around looking for opportunity among the rest of the giants talent. Surely with a bidding war among the Melbourne clubs he would fetch a mid-first rounder at least. And its not like the Giants need the points from him.

 

[Super Hans]

Pick 10-15, reckon he's gonna be a gun.

We have 15 guys coming off contract this year, I doubt the pressure is on Lachie to sign in March tbh

 

[LynchysMob]

If Whitfield leaves for what will obviously be reduced value as they wont get what they paid then the GWS revolving door culture will really be starting to hurt them.

Top 10ish pick is about his value.

Maybe he's backing his own ability to improve this year, and play himself into a bigger contract offer from GWS? Just smart business IMO. Doesn't mean he's leaving.

He looks like he's got the makings of a very good wingman. If he continues to build his body and become more damaging with the ball in hand, he'll be a top quality player.

 

[Tulip]

Going to be an excellent player.

 

[iBeng]

Slight sniff of a kid wanting to go home and suddenly hes worth 2nd rounder at best

 

[adammania9]

He's worth at about a first and late second round draft picks. Very good player who has flown under the radar.

I'd pay an early- mid first round pick - around 7-13. Maybe throw in something extra as
He's going to be very, very good and has already played some high level footy.

 

[Mego Red]

Ridiculous thread.

1. Make up a thread about a playing leaving
2. Start offering ridiculous unders
3. Rinse and repeat

 

[HBFlanker]

this screams of private school mummys boy wanting to go home to the eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

If Ward and Whitfield leave, not to mention the uncertain future of Patton and mccarthy, GWS are back to square one.

Worrying time with their director having a blue with Matthews and leaving, and pulling out 1 million of funding

Actually it screams of a flog making up rumour.
