Lachie Whitfield

[TazHawk15]

Welcome to the Hawks Lachie.

Am I doing it right?

 

[Rhys Cooyou]

The rumour comes from Damien Barrett who got one rumour right his entire career.

I'm not worried that he hasn't signed yet.

 

[HBFlanker]

Actually it screams of a flog making up rumour.

Do you know the OP personally?

 

[1990crow]

Do you know the OP personally?

It was Damien Barrett on the footy show last night

 

[Roughies Boys]

It was Damien Barrett on the footy show last night

So pretty much take no notice of it.

 

[coniglio_number1]

I wouldn't expect any re-signings until gubbys replacement has been announced as he is the chief negotiator

 

[1990crow]

So pretty much take no notice of it.

Given the talent that has already walked from GWS I wouldnt put a line through it just yet

 

[Roughies Boys]

Given the talent that has already walked from GWS I wouldnt put a line through it just yet

Yeah true, I understand he supporred Hawthorn... but I don't think he fits what we need.

 

[stringertheking]

Ridiculous thread.

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

What are you on about? I didn't make up anything it was said on the footy show last night..

 

[Colonial]

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

Back to square 1? Yeah cause Sheil, Jezza, Shaw, Cogs, David etc etc are all flogs who can barely play [emoji57]

 

[Colonial]

Given the talent that has already walked from GWS I wouldnt put a line through it just yet

Hmmm considering we have a shrinking cap and list size.
Oh and the Majority of who we wanted to re-sign have.
Im yet to see anything that suggests a mass exodus that the media hack barrett and some on here keep going on about.

 

[Super Hans]

Yeah, you didn't want to keep Trealor, Adams and Boyd.

 

[HBFlanker]

Back to square 1? Yeah cause Sheil, Jezza, Shaw, Cogs, David etc etc are all flogs who can barely play [emoji57]

Who are cogs and david?

You cant just say random names to try and get people to think you know what your on about.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

No player wants to sign right now, the salary cap is about to go up

 

[Colonial]

Yeah, you didn't want to keep Trealor, Adams and Boyd.

Having trouble reading? MAJORITY.

 

[Super Hans]

Just lost a couple of your most important players, no biggie.

 

[Colonial]

Who are cogs and david?

You cant just say random names to try and get people to think you know what your on about.

Meant to say Davis. Coniglio.
Hardly random..

 

[HBFlanker]

Meant to say Davis. Coniglio.
Hardly random..

Understood.

Both good players.

Need to make sure players stay though

 

[Colonial]

Just lost a couple of your most important players, no biggie.

Still struggling with seeing what i wrote. Majority re-signed.
And if you listen to freo fans Cam wasnt one of the important players.
Treloar will be missed and is a gun no doubt.
Its eased somewhat when we have Steele and Hopper coming in though.

 

[Taylor]

No player wants to sign right now, the salary cap is about to go up

This is the reason.

 

[Colonial]

Understood.

Both good players.

Need to make sure players stay though

Absolutely. Hense the re-signing.

Every man and his dog knew we would lose players. Especially with the picks we had, and an ever shrinking list and cap size.
Main thing is to hang on to as many as we can. Which is whats happening

 

[Mofra]

No player wants to sign right now, the salary cap is about to go up

Yep - GWS are waiting to fill a position and the cap is going to increase, yet we're starting rumours because kids haven't signed as yet?

The only thing sillier is suggesting a pick #1 who has played over 50 games in his first three eyars, averaging 22 touches in his third year, is somehow worth only a second rounder.

 

[nickrebellious]

Back to square 1? Yeah cause Sheil, Jezza, Shaw, Cogs, David etc etc are all flogs who can barely play [emoji57]

All of those were there at the start bar Shaw, so yeah pretty much square one.

 

[HBF]

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.

And i'm pretty sure GWS have a couple more good kids coming through their academy this year as well.

 

[Colonial]

All of those were there at the start bar Shaw, so yeah pretty much square one.

Yep as soon as those players left the stars who re-signed maturity and experience left and they went back to being year 1 rookies [emoji57]
