Same with his willingness to buy into the coach's plan & earn a game.I'm not sure Laidler's hardness is in the same universe as that of Simon White.
Tip of the cap to you for giving it some thought at the very least. I have hopes of him going to another level next year after his first real full season. I think trust is important and I feel something exists between Jamison, Rowe and White that can establish us as a serious backline unit. We will have to sit back and wait to see what turns up in 2015 but im buoyant about our prospects.I will politely decline your suggestion. I have had time to have a good look at White and whilst I agree he uses his bigger body in a nice and aggressively around the contest I don't think he has the class to play top flight football to an elite level we require for his position and whilst he should be in our best 22 for the majority of this year by years end our youngsters with more ability will have gone past him. I doubt he's factored in to long term thinking for no.17
Speaking of Dennis Pagan, you can't make strawberry jam out of horse manure is a term that aptly describes White. I don't think his size or even his skill is what let's him down, he does not have the mental capacity to play at this level.
What makes you think that he doesn't have the mental capacity?

Strawberries seem to prefer cow manure to others, although they will also thrive on horse manure if cow manure is not available.
Very droll ODN.No but horse manure can be important to grow the strawberries in order to make the jam.

Sure, they do tend to favour bull s**t but they're not on their own there.
Very droll ODN.
I agree. I thought he really stood up last year.Don't see a problem with White, he's a good quality tall back pocket, reliable, flexible, athletic with decent skills.
After hearing some of the more recent anti-White sentiment here, I tried paying particular attention to a few of the games I have re-watched.Just an observation....he's got the size, his skills are good enough but when the pressure really comes on he tends to fold ie makes all the wrong decisions.

Do you have any examples?
I like White. I think he's a bit hot headed but he doesn't go overboard (e.g. Waite), he plays within his limitations (in a good way, I mean) and I thought he had a really good year.
EE, Im not sure it takes an Eisntein like IQ to play this game. I know what you're saying re decision making, perhaps your choice of words is a little harsh?Speaking of Dennis Pagan, you can't make strawberry jam out of horse manure is a term that aptly describes White.

I'd love to see that incident where he stuck a leg out to trap a ball when a mark was possible. I mean surely we have to take into account speed and trajectory of the ball, whether the percentage play was to keep the ball in front of him if he was the last defender in the line or gamble on going to ground after a low percentage marking attempt spills free. Slips catches with your weight leaning another direction are nigh on impossible. Easy to judge in the stands or at home but I'd need to be convinced that a player threw a leg at a ball he was entitled to mark.
In the immortal words of Mr Wonka, the suspense is terrible... I hope it lasts.Forum waits for White's judgement. Some of the more squeamish posters use the time for a cigarette in the court foyer. Others sit, hands pressed against faces and foreheads. The time is the killer. What will EE decide? How much longer? How much more of this can the average BFer endure? Already it's been more than half and hour. The tension is unbearable.

Interesting that he was dropped a week out from finals and never got his spot back.
