Whiley's own comparison wasn't too far off. After watching his highlights he does remind you of Mundy... and not just his beautiful hair...
Bit of a Barlow and Mundy the way he works in stoppages.

Finally had a chance to have a look at the highlights of KJ and Whiley
KJ - Can play either end, great kick and a great pair of hands - tick
Whiley - Hard at it, good at the clearances, and can tackle - tick
Great effort from our footy club to get these boys in the door.

We'll need outside class but we've really got ourselves some young beasts right now.
Doesn't seem as though Whiley takes any short steps as neither do Cripps and Holman. Great for the kids to be showing the older boys how to do it.

Really liking both of these guys from their highlights!
Stoked to have them on board
Whiley seems very fyfe-esque, attacks the footy, tackles with the intent to hurt.
Jaksch another good swing man option with great hands, that'll be an asset in defence.
Bring on 2015!

Still loving this trade.
Whiley is quite the looker too.
He looks like a blonde midnight mark

Amazing how so many Whiley haters are joining the bandwagon after seeing a short video clip. The kid will give it his all and anything he lacks in skill (which is pretty decent I might add) he will make up through workrate. Love his tackling. He looks like he enjoys tackling and this is something we really have lacked in recent years. Excited by the prospect of him and Cripps physically dominating opponents.

How could anyone 'hate' someone they'd never heard of a week ago?
Plus, the hair.
Yes, the hair! Instantly has superstar potential haha.

Love his attack on the footy.
Judd, Murph and Gibbs are going to love having him in the team next year, and my boy Cripps as well.

They don't come much slower!
Nothing moves faster than the ball though, so we'll be ok!

Jaksch is definitely "Ciccone's" material. That eyebrow needs some serious work!

I think the great thing about where our list is heading is that we have versatility which will allow us to push Buckley, Docherty, Tuohy, Yarran types onto the wing to add some outside run and carry and polish. Not all doom and gloom for speed but we have been found out in the last because of injuries and lack of depth meaning we've had to play those guys in other positions.
Plus, if we draft some speed we will start to get the balance spot on with our list. I look at the Hawks and I don't see a particularly fast midfield, with the exception of Hill and Smith.

I agree .. Smith and Hill are exceptional runners - speed and endurance - and good ball users .. Hopefully we can find equivalents. I really rate Hill.
our trade period has been successful for the second year in a row. Targeting the 20-24 year range just cuts down a year of development that we have to put in to the players and will give us a great chance of having success quicker than some think

Normally critical of our trades (thanks to the bad days) but very happy with our recruiting of KJ. Really felt we won this one- think GWS were focussing too much on Griffen/Boyd and/or the No 1 pick. Another talented swingwan with good hands and good presence. As has been said, GWS gave him a year of defensive development for our benefit. Now we just need Watto to make FF his own.
Whiley may be steaknives but he is Medhurst steaknives, probably even better. With Carrots retiring soon and Brock on the slide (possibly also retiring) there is a definite gap for Whiley's type and I look forward to what he can bring.

The way I see this trade is there is no way we can lose.
We would have picked up a young KPP with pick 7 anyway, but we have managed to get that in Jaksch and got Whiley thrown in as steak knives, oh and we kept a pick in the top 20!
Awesome job Carlton!
