Wheatley is one of the best kicks on the Melbourne list and produced the best numbers of his career in 14 outings last season. Playing a similar role to previous seasons in defence, Wheatley won more of the ball than ever in 2008 as he was used by teammates to exploit the opposition with his long kicking. He has played 113 games for the Demons in eight seasons since being drafted.
