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.

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?

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.

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.

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

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
