Is Matty from South Australia? Usually players want to get away from their teams, not go there
Spoken like a true Port supporter...They generally want to get away from the Crows.
Any compensation on the cards? Have heard that we aren't eligible because he is unrestricted?
For a Richmond supporter as a kid and someone who is just starting to finally play good footy, this news surprises me. If Richmond couldn't match Ports offer then what this tells me is that he wasn't prepared to work hard enough to keep his spot in our team. Good luck Matt, you're going to need it to break into that Port side. I'm guessing you'll be a top up fringe player at best over there.
Anyway thanks for your efforts at Richmond and we hope you find what you're looking for in Adelaide.
Wish him well!
Hamstrings won't be an issue, they've only been small ones, which I assume are due to his high percentage if fast twitch fibres - but port have the best in the business for managing players and he will lighten White's load sufficiently to minimise hamstring damage.
Plus, judging by the interview at the b+f, White overtrained himself out of anger this year after being sub repeatedly. Self-inflicted and we didn't stop him probably because we knew his career was on the line and he needed the extra training.
My prediction: White does very little at Port. He's passionate, pacey, and has kicked a few emotional goals this year but those are the same reasons why he's very overrated.
But he leaves without any resentment from fans whatsoever. That's pretty rare with free agency right now. So good on him and best wishes.
You can't really blame him and he'll have to work hard either way
