Whatever games are invested in Whitnall should be given to Tiller, Everitt, Williams, Wight etc to see if they have key forward talents

Re: Whitnall in the PSD, Yay or Nay?
Watts could be worth a look at.
Still young, good mark/kick. Had a few injuries. I'd at least invite him down to make an assessment.W00F!

Re: Whitnall in the PSD, Yay or Nay?
How did his degen. knee condition come about? Is it just a case of a small knock that flared up or was it always going to happen?

Re: Whitnall in the PSD, Yay or Nay?
I've heard the question of Whitnall put to Rocket a couple of times, and he has responded with an emphatic NO. I would be very surprised if we looked at him, even though he will come dirt cheap.
Crumbs!

Re: Whitnall in the PSD, Yay or Nay?
No.
Rocket has said he wont draft anyone that can't physically offer a 3 year commitment to the team. Not sure where that puts teh Brad Smith rumours, but I don;t want Whitnall at the club.
My whispers tell me wthout the off field dramas he could have been nursed through a final season, he was a 50/50 prospect without them.

Re: Whitnall in the PSD, Yay or Nay?
Whitnall could still give a team great value, he didnt win the Carlton B + F in 2006 for nothing, but the reality is that we're not the team that's going to take him - Eade's comments say it all.

Um, Whitnall? I say no way. Everyone has said we've rejected him and I AM GLAD.
No, I dont think he's got enough left in him.

No.
No to his fitness, no to his knees, no in general. Big no.
Plus, i dont know if we stock large enough guernseys to fit him

Re: Whitnall in the PSD, Yay or Nay?
This worries me a little. I see little point in picking up a guy with buggered knees who was playing WAFL (albeit kicking bags) and passing on Whitnall who was playing AFL. If they both have buggered knees there doesn't seem to be any point in pcking either and if you were going to pick one you'd pick Whitnall for mine simply because he is more likley to be able to play at the highest level.
