Player Watch Pick #33 (2024) - Jack Whitlock

[Rigs]

Haven’t been tracking his brother, but would he be worth bringing over as a defender

Yeah definitley

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Unpopular opinion, but from what I know of Cochrane and Pilot, I think we should plan a longterm spine around Georgiades and Whitlock as our two main talls up forward and Ramm and Cochrane in defence (Cochrane essentially as CHB). Pilot as a third tall forward / midfielder.

Cochrane is wasted as a CHB. I would prefer he plays in the forward as the third tall as he develops with a pinch hit in the middle and Pilot becomes a goal kicking mid.

The idea of Georgiades, Whitlock and Cochrane as the third pronged attack sounds tantalising.

And then you can move Lukosius on the wing for his kicks inside 50.

 

[Scodges]

Great grab and goal in the last few minutes of the game, only I wished he could have got his skates on a little quicker. There was no real urgency, needed some leadership guidance there.

You want D. Cochrane to turn into Buddy 2.0 but playing him at CHB has merit but he is just too good up forward. You have to think about it when the time comes.

7 goals from 4 games. Tracking nicely. Keep working on his routine and add more muscle to his frame and he could really be something special and is forming a nice partnership with Georgiades.

I enjoy his ruck work

I love this guy

Watch when he kicks a goal and pumps his fists, he already has more muscle in his bicep than sobrave/afraid

Going to be very important moving forward

If he played for any of the victorian teams there would be an extreme wankfest for him and what hes done so far. Has already showed as much promise of any young key forward in the comp even shannahan

Continue quietly dominating humbly young buck

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Only positive so far out of the year. Showing real promise

 

[Revan11]

This guy is great. Like getting an extra first rounder in the draft. Would take him before all the talls Richmond took in 2024

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I think Whitlock has been awesome for a young KPF and secondary ruck.

 

[ElectricG]

Averaging 1.8 goals per game. We are already getting so much more out of him than Lord despite their size difference. We’ve got a good one, imo. Couple more years and he’ll be an absolute beast I would think.

 

[Lefti93]

Shining light.

 

[Cosmicwinduptoy24]

When's the last time a second year forward average 2 goals a game? Hogan?

Last year, Logan Morris

 

[rogerjames]

Heard a lot of talk about taking Berry over Reid, but what about getting this bloke in the second round? Could be steal of the draft.

Saved our drafting hand. We got very lucky Jack lasted that long.

Better to keep it low key as he will be chased

 

[PatientMental]

Should chase his brother in a few years

Looks like North is trying to make him a forward for some reason

Best start for a tall forward since John Butcher…

 

[wayb2912]

I have a feeling he will kick 4 or 5 and have a breakout game tonight

 

[Chewy316]

I'd be putting a 4+ year contract out there for him now. He's clearly got the talent, just going to take a bit of time to fill his body out. Wouldn't want to be doing 2 year deals from the Club's perspective whereby every 12 months the question will be asked as to whether he wants to go home.

We put a 4 year contract we'll still get the media asking the question every year anyway

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Time for Port to use their wit and lock in a four year deal.

And then jack off?
