Nice kick and a bargain get for us. Would probably be Bunga's successor.

Witherdone.

 

[ChampRevesby]

 

[The Stid]

Looks great in the blue & gold

 

[Biggie]

Very excited about this addition to the Blue & Gold.

Can’t wait to see him in action - should push for best 22 straight off the bat

 

[eagles rule]

Welcome to Wce Alex

 

[George]

What a great deal. You guys have killed it with this one Well done

 

[Bender_]

Dark Sharks can you lend this kid a barbell and a protein shake please?

 

[squashface]

Seems like he has the same 4 highlights across all of his packages.

Cockatoo-esque

 

[KaaL]

Welcome to the eagle Alex. Now, you can join in with the kick to kick in the backline!

 

[06Premiers]

Our first Alex since the great Alex Ishchenko left for Brissy at the end of 1988. So there's that.

But no, really excited by this trade - even if it spells the end for Jets

Welcome aboard!

 

[woosha24]

Brisbane: "So do you want this Witherden kid?"
West Coast: "I dunno. What position does he play?"
Brisbane: "Half-back flank"
West Coast: *heavy breathing intensifies*

Looks decent from the video, but do we really need to draft every HBF in the league?

 

[CarloLion]

Absolutely unbelievable get for you guys, what a bargain. Definitely a salary-cap motivated trade from us, which hurts but is necessary.

Really cant see him playing less than 200 games for you, enjoy watching him for 10 years!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

 

[RookiePick]

Ainsworth as Lisa. This has some layers and textures to absorb.

 

[kerr87]

Excited by his kicking and running. Can float up the ground wing too. Gonna be deadly in the backline with Cole Nelson Duggan.

Will probably allow Duggan to push up into the midfield and wing.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Should play round 1 and kick 6 off the back flank.

 

[Chris_6678]

Until Hurn hangs the boots up it will be interesting how we fit him into the backline! Cole , Nelson & Dugan all went up a gear too as did Rotham in patches.


Shep Barrass Hurn
Witho Gov Cole

Wing: Duggan

Bench: Nelson

Rotham to miss but he can slot back in once Hurn hangs the boots up?

 

[Monocle]

Great pick up, I am excited to see him play at West Coast.

Well done Mr Glass great first trade period.

 

[Off Tap]

Both Witherden and Langdon provide depth for the 17 - 22 spots in our team and not much else.

Each player has a little bit of improvement to come but they aren't world-beaters.

Good pickups for the price we paid though.

 

[jesterwester]

So we got him for effectively 2 third rounders, AND Brisbane are paying a chunk of his salary?

Really like this trade. He’s a great size, good kick, and the right age in our transitioning list.

Welcome to the West, Alex. May you play many games for us.

 

[Hai_Newman]

Welcome Alex, stoked to have you aboard.

Impressive haul with the hand we had, some very thorough work went into being able to pull this off.

Withers is a gun and is know quality....well done Glassy

 

[JADED]

Will always remind me of the word imminent.
Alex 'imminemt' Witherden.

Bargain pick up getting him at his lowest value, and getting Bris to pay a significant portion of his wage for 2 years. Bizzare.
We owe Brisbane.

If they come knocking for that one player Gary Lyon said keep an eye on, that one player on our list who's gonna be something special and poach him, well, it's goodbye Ainsworth.

 

[Roobs321]

I've watched almost every game you've played Alex (a bit like I did with Jetta & Redden), so keen to see you in Eagles colours. A bit like with Lewis Taylor

, wise time to leave the Lions with Starcevich overtaking you as well as needing a different look in that Lions backline.

Along with Langdon, great age-bracket depth on the cheap, two quality young men. Hopefully Langdon can go forward a bit if Ah Chee & Petch continue to be spuds.

Like with Seabs and Sinclair, also good feels to see another Eagle end up at the Swans.
