GREATER Western Sydney will unveil their latest No.1 draft pick in Sunday's AFL pre-season clashes, but assistant coach Leon Cameron says he may only play half of the season proper.
Whitfield Whitfield will take on Sydney and Carlton in Blacktown on the weekend, the start of a maiden season in which the 18-year-old will attract feverish interest and scrutiny.
The classy midfielder, part of an elite group that includes teammates and fellow No.1 picks Jonathon Patton and
Tom Scully, wants to play as much of the NAB Cup as possible to seal a berth in round one of the premiership season.
But as the Giants consistently showed in their debut year, rest and rotation will be a crucial part of the teenager's AFL development - no matter how talented he is.
Cameron admitted the club would have to limit Whitfield's playing minutes this season.
