Completely agree with Garry if Whitfield was at all gettable, but he is apparently not.

To add to that, did anyone read Coniglio telling the story about Whitfield jumping around like a little fangirl when Coniglio told him he’d re-signed? Had to drag Whitfield around the corner to tell him away from others, because he knew the reaction would give it away. Just a little story, but I think demonstrative of the strong bond between the upper echelon at GWS.

And you run the risk of chasing him and then having him re-sign with GWS.  I know some might say that he is worth the risk, but then we've missed out on others who could potentially help to improve our side.

If we asked the question and he legit seemed keen, then I'd be happy to go all in for him.  But it's never as easy as that.  

Worth asking the question now, because we do have the high pick to offer. But I think there's no way he'll move, apparently doesn't like the idea of the 'footy fishbowl' on Melbourne and knows to get the best out of himself he's best out of Vic. One thing asking the question now might do is push his price up a little, meaning that we might be able to pry a slightly better player out if we end up splitting the pick.

Whitfield is a beautiful player but I'm unsure how he likes it when it's finals hot.  He was superb vs the Dogs but the Giants toasted them.  He was invisible against the Lions when it was super hot.  It will be fascinating to see how he goes vs the Pies.

Lachie Whitfield looms as the biggest free agent of the 2020 class and Lyon wants the Dees to go “all in” on him.

“Here’s some unsolicited advice to the Demons. Save your money,” he told SEN Breakfast.

“Save your money with Tomlinson and go all in on Whitfield. All in.

“Get everything out.”

I'd still get Tomlinson in and then work out the Whitfield offer when that comes around. No good missing out on a player who could hypothetically help us in 2020 to save money, and then Whitfield signs after round 11 next year. We can do some financial manoeuvring if it seems we are in with a sniff.

Players of note out of contract 2020

Not too sure you can even recover fully from an appendectomy in 10 days.

Are the Pies blessed?

Fall into the 4.

Play the Cats at their home ground.

Play the Giants with all Pies supporters at their home ground.

Play the Giants with Ward, Coniglio, Whitfield and maybe Greene out.

Noticed during the game that he was very troubled by what looked like a fairly innocuous elbow to the small of his back. At the time I thought it was an after-effect of a previous knock; now I’m wondering if the appendicitis was already starting to flare up?

He was kneed in the kidney area in a marking contest shortly before.

Yes, that’s a better description of the previous knock I was referring to. That in itself would hurt like hell.

Watching Blicavs lumber around hopelessly on a wing against the Tigers has me worried about Tomlinson. All the fitness in the world doesn't help you if you can't match the speed and agility.

Is named forward tonight and will be interesting to see if he plays there.  One of the initial rumours regarding our interest in him as being in the Tom Lynch (Adelaide) role of high, mobile tall forward.  That’s the position he was drafted for, but hasn’t been able to nail down at the Giants.

I know all our initial instincts are wing, but I think he could be a bit of a poor man's Jesse Hogan for us with his size and tank spreading our forward line like Hoges used to.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield.
