Whitfield is a weird option to be getting strong consideration as a MID only.
Has one season he scored above a D6 level, where he missed 6 games, and one season where he scored at a D6 level (2020 COVID anomaly) in 10 seasons. He's missed 4, 7 and 6 games in the last 3 22 game seasons which is in line with his whole career where durability has been a significant issue, especially with his concussion history.
That one better than D6 season wasn't even in a rebounding role, it was the year that he got M/F DPP classification after playing as a high half forward/wing being used as a leadup target around the ground.
The case if he was starting as a defender is somewhere in the weak to middling category but to be throwing in the requirement of a DPP change on top, while picking him in the highest scoring position, I mean I just don't get it.
I'm just looking and for 30-40k more you can get genuine keeper chances in the forwards and backs with better records or narratives. For 70-80k more you're looking at midfielders with genuine 115+ potential.

Probably need at least one of the big 3.
Laird, does Berry's progression and Crouch being fit impact his scoring? Even just by a few percent to the negative.
Oliver, does Grundys follow up ground work cost him 2-3 possessions per game?
I'm leaning towards Neale, but not sure if I'm just being cheap, or are they all likely to score about the same?
