Lachie Whitfield wants out of GWS

[defuture15 900]

I have been told by a person close to Lachie that he is wanting to come to the city of melbourne. I havent followed him but believe that he was a number 1 pick.

Would he fit in with our needs?

Hawks supporter, he will go there.

Would definitely fill a need for us in a skillful, outside runner.

Hopefully Tyson, Bugg and Frost can wooo him over.

Yep. That's the same reason that we've got Franklin, Pendlebury, Judd, Weitering and Prestia

Would cost every bit of 2 first round picks that we don't have and doesn't fit the bill of the type of midfielder we recruit, i don't consider him to be a "competitor" though he is a very skillful player.

Why would you leave GWS now?

Because you have to live in Western Sydney, play in front of 7,000 every other week and represent a soulless franchise?

And to answer the OP, yes he's exactly the type of player we lack and need.

That's a bit of a shock given this news just last month.

Former AFL No.1 draft pick Lachie Whitfield has signed a two-year contract extension with the Giants, dashing the hopes of Victorian clubs looking to lure the talented midfielder home.

The 21-year-old was due to come out of contract at the end of the season, but the new deal will keep him in western Sydney until the end of 2018, according to reports.

Whitfield, the top selection from the 2012 draft, has played 58 games for GWS including the first seven rounds this year where he has averaged almost 21 disposals a game.

Thanks IT. Thought the original post sounded like BS.

Thought he signed a new deal..

close thread.

Should be banned for this thread. Totally unsubstantiated rumour that was quickly, and rightly, pointed out to be BS.

Poor form from the OP.

Maybe harsh, but if he went and made another identical one after being discredited here then maybe.... oh wait

Lucky bastard. I used to party hard but I've been set a ceiling of 9.45pm. It's limiting.

LOL. You peanut.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,939]

Yawn. Hawks or Geelong will get him.

[defuture15 900]

He wants to leave GWS. I was told this by someone who should know. I was not told about his contact status. Just thought that i would ask the question of other on the forum. I questioned his want to leave too. It did sound a bit bizarre
