List Mgmt. 2015 Trade, Free agency and draft rumours

[PhatHQ]

Great to see Whitecross wanted to stay & got another year!

 

[Davo23]

Nothing would make me happier than to see Whitecross win a flag.

He's such a great team man, and he's had such terrible luck with injuries, I'd love to see Whitecross just have an even break.

Go Whitey!

 

[Harry Flashman]

Bad news guys...

Well played sir!

 

[SSSSSS]

Steady with the veteran - he will be 26 next season.

Does anyone see Whitecross returning to his best post the knee reco's?

His biggest strength IMO was his lateral movement. 2 ACL injuries can really destroys that aspect.

I doubt it but I'll back him in to give it a shot. He's got a good head on his shoulders and a massive heart. Glad the club stuck by him.

 

[Since 2001]

HAWKS PLEASE PICK UP NICK HOLMAN, PLEASE!!!!

 

[BigLittleHawk]

I'd think utility. Reminds me a bit of Xavier Ellis... hopefully he has a body that stands up to the rigors of a contact sport a little better.

Whilst still raw I think he has a bigger stature than Ellis does now!

 

[Kuuz]

Really happy to see Swiss stay on. He's such a team player, and to finally get back to his top form would be great.

I really think his best is yet to come, and should rise to the challenge this season.

 

[Steven Tyler]

1 year deal is telling!
Hope he can get a good run at it, but his best is behind him due to 2 knee reco's

 

[wahawk]

we didn't actually sign him up.

Yet

 

[Thaihawk]

Love that Swiss has stayed on. Really hope he can turn it on next year and get a regular spot in the 1s (and a flag!).

Hope we can reward him in the same fashion as we did for Big Max and Shoey.

 

[Agent Smith]

Really happy to see Swiss stay on. He's such a team player, and to finally get back to his top form would be great.

I really think his best is yet to come, and should rise to the challenge this season.

Not only that, if he's consistent enough to earn a senior spot come finals, I'd say that should be inspiring the group just that little bit more to make sure Whitey gets his premiership medallion.

 

[Tomohawks]

Thomas and Beams have both dealt with injury issues (though the former hasn't ever been better than a flashy forward), Heath Shaw is one of GWS's best players and better than he was at Collingwood.

Sidebottom is a good young midfielder. On par with where Lewis was at the same age.

But Lewy had more upside with the size of his body

 

[TallyHawk]

Go Whitecross, quality bloke and deserves success. Watch this bloke put in a massive pre-season.

 

[MrPremiership]

Whiteys a fantastic reader of the play, his ACLs won't hinder that.

Whitey is a true competitor, you can't teach that it players, his ACLs won't hinder that.

Whitey can play a number of roles, his ACLs won't hinder that.

I've said this before, both ACLs were done in deep finals. When fit, he is best 22 and should have 2 medallions already.

A fit whitey in 2016 is first 22

Nothing would make me happier than to see Whitecross win a flag.

I was going to offer you a billion dollars but since nothing else can make you as happy as WX winning a flag then I'll just put it back in my imaginary pocket.

 

[badboybobba]

Don't be suprised if Robbie Warnock is on our list for next season.

 

[Agent Smith]

Don't be suprised if Robbie Warnock is on our list for next season.

Was thinking the same thing. I can see us grabbing him as our first rookie pick if he's still available at that point.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Don't be suprised if Robbie Warnock is on our list for next season.

Oh boy....

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Oh boy....

I will cry

 

[Entei]

Don't be suprised if Robbie Warnock is on our list for next season.

If we'd have to pick up a Carlton reject, i'd much rather we take Holman.

 

[Brant]

Steady with the veteran - he will be 26 next season.

Does anyone see Whitecross returning to his best post the knee reco's?

His 'best' wouldn't have got him a game in our last 2 GF teams. He'd need to have grown a foot or found a yard of pace to force out others.

What he did have was a good tank & a knack for turning his opponent during contests; &, with the reduction of interchanges in 2016, he could well become a valuable squad player (20-26 etc). Far more so than Pick 60-something in this year's DRAFT would likely be & clearly only requires a 1-yr commitment whereas a new DRAFTEE must be signed for 2.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Whiteys biggest challenge is his decision making.

 

[spudmaster]

Whiteys biggest challenge is his decision making.

He chose to stay so it can't be all that bad

 

[Brant]

Whiteys biggest challenge is his decision making.

Then hitting targets between 30m-40m.

Just before his first knee-reco (2013?) he was delivering inside F50m with success, but from what (little) I've seen since, he's not returned to that level of performance.

 

[Davo23]

Don't be suprised if Robbie Warnock is on our list for next season.

If he's the dud with the supermodel girlfriend, I'll take it.
