Thoughts on whitfield?

I currently have cripps at m5, but am considering starting whitfield at m5. Cripps could be tagged this year, but it more of the safe pick.

Whitfield however should be playing in the halfback role, and so far has been impressive. JLT (91 and 141), but there is no guarantee he will be consistent.

I reckon Whitfield could be hugely under threat by fwd tags if he keeps this role at HBF.

I'd go Cripps for safety, I suppose Whitfield has 115+ potential though

Elite runner, he's going to get close to 30 touches a game simply due to his aerobic capacity. He's a great user of the ball too. Contested possessions will be down though and he will probably be the 3rd maybe 4th best scoring mid at GWS so when you divide  up the points he probably won't be reaching 110 which is what you would want for someone at his price.

Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated. I think i'll probably go with cripps.

Hopefully he's a defender next year. Will be a lock then

A great AF/DT option.

Have been pondering him for SC for a while. With the role he is playing in JLT I don't see him getting enough contested football to score heavily enough to be an option at his price.

Dont get him. Terrible choice. Delete this thread please hahaha
