Review Ex Giants player watch

[Giant Strides]

Jono had some decent games, though. It was just his body let him down.

That happens, and it's often difficult to foretell.

No issue with selecting him, nor that being #1.

Him and Boyd were both consensus first picks.

Whitfield too to an extent but he was the next one along the line after O'Meara.

Definitely.
The Whitfield pick never cops criticism, the other 2 are often viewed as poor picks.
They were both just unlucky.

 

[Giant Pete]

Whitfield, Patton and Boyd were all consensus number 1 picks.

The website is continuing with its series of the top 10 draft picks over previous years. As with others here in this thread, it is very positive about our pick of Whitfield in the 2012 draft. We had the top 3 picks in that draft (and Bulldogs took Stringer as a 5th pick), although maybe the pick of O’Rourke wasn’t the best in hindsight.

The prized pick in the 2012 draft, Whitfield, unlike some, has lived up to the hype.

Still a one-club player, the utility is a two-time All-Australian and two-time Kevin Sheedy medallist.

Whitfield has been a pillar of durability, rarely missing a game since debuting in 2013 and playing at an impressively high level.

Several clubs failed to find lasting talent with their early picks in 2012.

Lachie looks like he'd break in a strong breeze, but he's been pretty durable as noted. With 2 x AA and 2 x KSM, he's the second most decorated Giant behind Toby Greene

. One of the few #1 picks who comes close to being the best player in his draft.

Could play at a high level for another 5 years imo.
