HIS feet have barely touched the ground over the past four days but once he get his bags unpacked, the AFL's No.1 draft pick Lachie Whitfield is ready to start the hard graft of becoming a professional footballer.
Since last Thursday, when the Giants called his name first at the draft on the Gold Coast, Whitfield has had a schedule like the Prime Minister's.
After an initial 24-hour media barrage, the 19-year-old flew back to Melbourne on Friday for the valedictory dinner at his high school. That was followed by a farewell party with family and friends on Saturday night.
Then yesterday it was off to his new home, the Giants' base of Breakfast Point.Today it's a 7am start and his first training session as an AFL player.
"It's pretty scary but exciting," Whitfield said.
"It's pretty daunting but I'm ready to leave home and get started on the next chapter of my life."
Whitfield isn't quite sure what to expect but is ready for whatever coach Kevin Sheedy throws at him.
"I know it's going to be harder than any other training I've done," Whitfield said. "I know it will be tough but rewarding."
The football training won't be the only challenge the teenager faces over the coming months.
The move out of home is sure to test his skills around the house.
"I'm not too domesticated, so the first few weeks will be a steep learning curve," Whitfield said.
Number two and three picks Jono O'Rourke and Lachie Plowman, as well as Kristian Jaksch (12), Aidan Corr (14) and James Stewart (27), also make their starts today
