20. Lewis Whiteley


Lewis Whiteley

Player Statistics

Basically a modern day Adonis, Lewis is often found in the upper reaches of the sixes league and even more often in front of a mirror. Would probably work well in a comic book, as every action he makes (however small) could easily be accompanied by a shock bubble with the word "BLAMMO!" in it. As laid-back as they come, the only thing sexier than his face is his rather lovely cover drive. Rapido quick across the ground. Unsurprisingly used to wang the ball down at the speed of light too, although these days settles for some Collingwoodesque medium pace. Any technical deficiencies can almost certainly be blamed on him spending most of his colts career grounded, but he has long since mellowed.
