Lachie Whitfield

Top 20 for score involvements for mids, top 30 for metres gained, top 30 for effective possessions.

He's a pretty good player if you take the no1 pick out of it.
 
He's fine. Not a superstar but a good contributor who averages 24 touches. He didn't choose to be the number 1 pick and shouldn't be judged solely on that. Hardly deserves to be torched.

We had Grundy fall in our lap via some bizarre decisions by other clubs and the Bombers had Daniher via FS. That aside it just wasn't a great draft year.

His career up until last year's scandal was flying along, and top picks can get shaded within the youthful talent in the Giants at large, far too early to call. I can understand his role in the team as a No.1 pick coming under debate, but he is a decent player.
 
Too early to declare Whitfield a failure. He actually looks a good prospect. Trending upwards. Clean and classy.
 
So we can assume safely that Whitfield BFHAAK?
 
The 2012 national draft probably had the worst top 4 ever! Whitfield, O'Rourke, Plowman and Toumpas.
Who are these guys, haven't heard of them!

Whitfield does seem to lack heart when the going gets tough. Hawthorn would probably be into him except they don't have any useful draft picks this year to get a trade done!

Former pick ones seem to cop a fair bit of s**t unless they look like a jet from day one.

Gibbs, Watts, Boyd etc all have copped pastings from opposition fans for years.

Whitfield has done nothing but win uncontested footy his entire career and it's been nothing but silence.

Pick one on a soft wingman.

Why no discussion about him?
Don't come over to our board and say this or you will have to come to the dark side and join me
Apparently he's an outside runner so when he's s**t it's not his fault

Spot on.

Out of sight out of mind at GWS and it gets hard to remember who the number 1 picks are with so many top 10 talents up there. Scully rightfully draws praise for his elite running but gets very little criticism for rarely hitting a target and makes the AA squad. He'd be made a mockery if still at the Dees.
 
It's probably hard to stand out with so many early picks and he obviously had a disjointed pre season and early season. He's far from a dud but if you re did the draft he wouldn't go anywhere near number 1.
 
He is a good player, definately over rated though.

However he is far from poor and this is a very reactionary thread

How is he over rated when this whole thread thinks he is a dud?
 
It's hard to stand out in a midfield composed of Josh Kelly, Callan Ward, Dylan Shiel, Stephen Coniglio, Tom Scully and whoever else. He'd be one of the best players at most other clubs surely
