Big Bustling Jesse White

[SouthSwans]

Really like the look of this man now. Has obviously done a lot of work on his game this year in the ressies. Looks like he could become a dominating power forward, something we haven't had since 04-05 Hall and 95-99 Lockett.

 

[AG]

Yep, he looks good. First sign of a good forward is that he times his leads well. I'd say Hall was good in 06 as well though.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Don't get carried away, but yeah it would be good to have a big successful forward who doesn't come from the Saints.

 

[legend166]

Looks a ripper so far. Although I don't know what happened to his booming kick. Remember the one he got from outside 50 against the Hawks in round 2 this year? Didn't make the distance today.

Other than that, looking great.

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

hes been fantastic
and very happy with the three goals hes kicked

the time spent in the ressies has done good things for him
gotten rid of the rucking out of him and put faith in him 2 go forward and kick our goals


kick more than Fev Jesse you can do it

It's to late for that! I've moved on and am now jumping for joy and hi fiving the ceiling fan. Go you good thing

 

[Chism]

Looking good White.

But Hartlett is very average

 

[swans4eva]

Young guns playing extremely well today...his ability to make a contest is amazing! Keep going Jesse and Nick Smithy too playing very well!

 

[Ed_Gein]

He is a beauty.

Has all the attributes Hall had. Strong, aggressive, can mark and kick goals. But one thing in White's favour is that he isn't a basketcase

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

thats Jesse with 4 come on jesse double it

 

[RUNVS]

He looked impressive today (though he really does need to work on his long range kicking as power forwards should be able to kick goals from 50 metres out).

 

[vonn]

He kicks HUGE goals RUNVS.

But normally their on the run..

 

[grimlock]

Should have started waving his hands Barry Hall-style in the second half. Kick it to him please!

 

[vonn]

SHOULD HAVE PUNCHED JUDD'S $1MIL FACE AND GIVEN THE GOOD OLD

"I didn't do it, what me? NO"
"50M"

Memories....

 

[Ed_Gein]

Thought it was funny today when he snapped that beauty for his 3rd and Healy piped up saying, "He is showing the makings of a great forward, a) he didn't look to handball...."

 

[smithy72]

Let's hope we keep him in the forward line & not in the Ruck, bring in Currie for the Ruck to help Jolly & LEAVE WHITE AT FF, loved his attack on the ball & that goal in the 3rd quarter was "SPECIAL"

 

[SM]

Speaking of no-nonsense, LOVED Hanners shoving that git Murphy to the ground in just his first game, and quite rightly no free paid.

 

[barry fu]

Hopefully over the next few rounds the unit with eye's can put the Fevola rumour/question to bed forever. Really looks quite exciting that we may have found our answer from within.

OK draw a comparison with Hall (still a bit of a long bow) but Plugger ?? He's not in Plugger's league and not likely to be. Crikey, there isn't a forward playing today in Plugger's league. He was a one-off.

That said, it is good to see White kicking a few but the big question is whether he can do it with the other team targeting him as our key forward.

 

[SouthSwans]

I never said he's going to be Plugger 2. I said he has the potential to become a dominating power forward.

 

[Faz 2000]

Looked awesome in the first half. Well worth persisting with, especially given Hall/O'Laughlin combo is done.

 

[EatBig Australia]

So rewarding to see a 'project' draft pick start to find his feet. Judging by comments from Roos etc he will play at FF the rest of the year so good luck to Jesse.

 

[kira]

very promising signs

kicked really well yesterday (first time for the seniors)

his greatest deficiency imo is turning its tide, that said his career can only go up

now only if we can actually get the ball to him

 

[BSA1874]

I'm not saying is at his level but White reminds of a younger Tredrea. Just the ways he moves. Took some really strong marks and consistently looked dangerous. Glad to see him finally stay forward.

 

[Bonz]

I reacon we should kick it too him on more occasions...

We barley kicked it too him in the second half...

I mean Yeah MOL was marking it on most occasions we kicked it to him but he can't make the distance from 40 anymore
