But his last two weeks showed glimpses of what he is capable of.I just love what they are doing with the side on a week to week basis. Blooding kids, settling players in their best positions, going with youth as opposed to age/experience. There is a plan and they are sticking to it. White is a terrific bloke who loves the club, plays for his team mates and gives you 100% week in week out. Is he part of the future? No. He will no longer be selected ahead of kids with talent. Macreadie has talent to burn and is part of the future so I have no problem with selections like that and I am prepared to experience the "growing pains" that go with selections like that. Pretty soon, more blokes like White will miss out to make way for the future. Its a good thing, its a very good thing.
Surprised Macreadie got the nod ahead of White. Even in the summaries of each VFL players game last week according to Josh, White got wraps whereas Macreadie not so much and that's what I also saw. So now we know that blokes aren't selected on form alone... if they're young and their form is not bad they get a gig, if they're older they'll need a few BOGs to get a gig.
