It would be so deflating if we were to cop a hiding this week after all the positive press we ve been getting recently.

If we are going to drop White because of his errors then there could be a few others who should be joining him if we are to be consistent?

Byrne for White suits me fine thanks.
Why? White was average but Buckley was woeful, if it wasn't for his father he wouldn't be playing AFL.

He was a very talented junior and IIRC was captain of his U18 team. Other teams knew we were going to pick him FS so they didnt bother. To say he wouldn't have made AFL level if not for his father is nonsense.

I'm saying he wouldn't be playing now, this is his 5th year on our list and he has shown nothing.

Leading up to last year perhaps, but last year he showed plenty. I honestly cannot understand how you missed it but then again I sort of can. ;D

I wouldn't mind seeing Jacksch in for White personally. Gives us another tall option up forward in addition to Casboult, and hopefully KJ can convert. Kicked a couple in the NB's last week.

White = complete waste of time. Hasn't really got a position and we are building for the future, something he's not part of.
Re: Rd 2: Carlton vs Sydney Pre Game Postulations - cookie2 - 03-31-2016
White is filling in in areas at the moment that we are not ready to fill with other options or those options aren't yet ready. He is also useful to ride shotgun whilst we are blooding the younger, newer guys. He at least puts in, albeit without being super talented, and making some mistakes at times - something you could also say about some of our other players. No he is probably not part of our longer term future but rather he is a stop gap. To call him a complete waste of time is pretty harsh IMO.

That said, he's like White in that his role is a bit uncertain and that can only hinder his development - too small really to be a HBF, maybe a back pocket but is he up to it defensively (that said is 2E either as a HBF), hasn't shown he can be a mid so is small lock down forward his go?
