Lachie Whitfield is arguably the best utility that the league has seen since the height of Brendon Goddard, capable of starting in any third of the ground and dominating games with his tireless run. It seems amazing that he doesn't get tagged more often, as despite the Giants having a star-studded midfield they do rely on him more than any other player to make their gamestyle work. Opposition analysts tend to want the entire team's run to be locked down at once, which is not quite the same thing, but Whitfield usually gets his numbers regardless.
