PR stunt - not fair on the club by saying that. the club is assisting him and themselves by going down this route.

White has been in the system now 3yrs , he is 22 and has only played 10 games , no reason the guy can't fill a place in the team - had a outstanding game last year against GWS where he a very good game.
Can play tall or small.

I don’t get the Brandon White-Richo thing. If he’s a good player and would benefit the team so what if he’s not the best trainer in the world. Maybe playing him and allowing him to prove himself in a game, may even motivate him to train better. Don’t know if or what a Richo has against him, but it’s almost like a parent-child relationship. Who is the adult in the relationship?

I remember Richo and Whitey went to one of the finals games last year.

I got to know a player who thought Richo was deliberately punishing him by not playing him for no reason while other were first picked with poor form. Another poster DMed me saying his cousin played for us and had the same experience. Won't name names.

We certainly don’t need a lumbering slow tall backman.
As for Luke is Rowan Marshall type can play Ruck , Forward or Back .
Blokes I talked today at training mentioned Rowe could be backup ruck option so will leave that one with you.
I thought Richo was just the coach in name only this year?
You know, Ratten really in charge and calling the shots...
If so, then surely what Richo thinks has nothing to do with White not getting a game this year.

Will be handy if needed , Sandy will be happy.
Anyway saw a article by Stevie j , picking his 5 teams to look for this year - Demons , Tigers , Magpies , Swans , GWS.
Amazing - he is working for the Swans as a coach
I will be totally surprised if we end up lower than the Swans
We are going to surprise a lot of teams - Steven back in full training today as well as Acres , Pierce , Austin.
Suns will be in for punishment and hopefully that carries over and we physically hurt the Bombers then show the Dockers they are still rubble.

Bombers way overrated at this stage Daniher been told today won’t probably play till round 6.
If we can get 4 points round 1 confidence will grow.

Richo is a campaigner and all good things he does are Ratten ideas. End of story, debate over.
66
66 I really feel we can get off to a good start , the game against the injectors will be the game that can really propel us forward - we beat them and I'm flying to Perth for the Dockers game.

Two go out, but only one comes back!
Its the best thing that could of happened for Richo , if he plans to do something stupid Ratten and Lade will openly put sh// on him - mates can do that.
He now has the support he needs , we all know he is a good bloke , but after the whipping last year where is was lucky to keep his job , I feel just the injection of the coaches will push us towards finals.
McCartin - Roberton hardly played at all last season , so really to me its no big deal
Carlisle - great intercept marker , but our game plan could also improve with him out of the team - why ? faster movement of the ball.
We now have basically the same team as last year , but we have a fit Bruce and hungry half forwards back in the team - Long , Kent and we get a fit Acres and our team is vastly improved compared to last year.
That's 4 good players and a tap ruckman in Pierce who actually can ruck , as well the new rules will help us.
a big year coming or at least better than the 4 games won last year.

I think Austin is a bit of a forgotten man . He’s trained almost a full pre season so is fit , knows our system and looked promising last year so I’d definitely throw him in the mix over Marsh . With brown back the following week it’s between Joyce and Austin after that .

I am going to hold fire on any further predictions for the year and just see how we go against GCS firstly. I dont think we can under estimate how destabilising something like this week can be for a young vunerable group.

...or how galvanising for a maturing group that has vowed to redeem themselves for last season and appear ready to take up the challenge...

I'll be disappointed if this happens to be a reason or the reason for another horrendous season. I want to at least see some heart and effort each week, otherwise all this redemption and stuff they talk about is meaningless, its tough, losing some of your best players to injuries and stuff, and then face the fact two loved players might have to retire before the season even starts, but this is the sort of stuff that makes and breaks a club.
