Their late season charge was in part because he'd come into the line up. He's not Cameron by any means but he is a talented lead up forward which helps make life easier for the likes of Himmelberg and Greene (when Greene is playing forward). Chips in with a goal or two most weeks and is generally quite handy.
You can also see that him and Himmelberg just love playing together - I wasn't big on them this year, but I think the elevation of Green, the resurgence of Cogs and if they can keep Hogs and Himm fit then they'll be in decent shape.
Phil Davis a definite loss though - big forward teams will be a struggle

Whitfield runs so hard for no reward. So often they kick it to the next person in the space he created because he ran so hard to provide an option. Not sure if he is running to the wrong space or just unlucky.
Wonder if this is a change in game style. Seem to want the corridor more. Would also hurt Jelly if the case.

Yeah, reckon Whitfield has to go. I've never been comfortable with him and yet I kept him over Gawn. What a silly man I am.

I know he's on 90 but he's against GC but he turtled his way there in a game they've dominated.

Sort of wish I hadn't done any trades this week, or just went Whitfield to Hewett and kept the cash.

Hindsight is great thing.

Watched him closely today. Playing too deep for mine, and too often is guarding the space through the middle or opposite side of the ground to the ball.

GSW almost 35% higher SC pts than suns. Not great, normal week he'd still be on 70 he has been averaging

I don't see them doing much in finals, but this team is still clearly better than 8-10 teams in the league so they'll be right around 7th-8th with a good run. Despite the talent they have lost, they still have a talented core and some youth coming through.


Their coach + KPD situation is a concern though.
