For the last three years running Brendan Whitecross has played more VFL than seniors, a disappointing career trajectory for possibly the unluckiest player in the league as he suffered knee injuries just before two of the Hawks' recent trio of flags. Entrusted with difficult tasks throughout his senior career, he failed to stop Gary Ablett jnr during an attempted shut out job in round 12. Having managed just 29 matches at the highest level across the past four seasons; expect the Queensland native to battle once more for senior opportunity. Whitecross has managed quality fantasy production in the past, especially when free to create across half forward; his body and continual role changes have limited him in recent seasons. He will likely play out his contract in the seconds.
