Was pick 4 in his draft. I like him but the cupboard is extremely bare in what we can offer up. If Gubby gets him to the club I will be stoked.

If he gets fit, then will be recruit of the year... no doubt.

Witts might help us out here.

The WHE story isn't dissimilar to the James Aish one.

Really highly rated by everyone going into his draft, and was taken very high.

Then had injury and form setbacks and despite flashes of brilliance (big game vs the Dogs at end of 2014, 5 goals) but hasn't shown what he is really capable of.

Like Aish it's time for a change of club too, has been fit for the second half of the year but can't get into that strong Giants 22.

He's a great get, for the right price.

Absolutely one to go after. Fits everything we are looking for age wise and skill wise. Apparently good mates with Treloar

It's not quite the same. WHE had a more serious injury that destroyed his entire season. The question is can he get back to any sort of pre-injury form going to Collingwood. The main attraction to getting WHE is that he may come cheap, but otherwise, we have a shortage of KPP's and those are the players we should be recruiting.

I could see Witts and a swap of 2nd rounders getting this done...and that is if GWS wanted to play hardball. Realistically I would be happy with a straight swap. Win/Win for both teams....as trades are suppose to be.

I say Witts somehow will help us get WHE with either him going to GWS or Pick we get for him. Pick around 20

And look how Far Aish has come this year

Like his talent but looks bloody frail in the body.

WHE would be a very good get. Also appears carlscum have dropped interest in Marchbank and North are offering Tuohy a bucket load which could make things a little easier for us. Witts to Lions or Doggies for pick(s), Cloke for a 2nd rounder (or we keep him), and things start to look a little better all round. Am getting excited!!
