Getting pumped up a bit for his work during the match sim the other day.
Sounds like he came back to the club in good nick this summer and is pushing to take Joeys spot.

I would assume Savage and Coffield’s form is keeping White out of the side at the moment .
Still looking forward to this season.

Brandon White cast the look of a wounded warrior when he left the field under the blood rule, but didn’t let a head gash deter him from another strong showing for the red, white and black.
White laid seven tackles and played an important role down back, assisting skipper Jarryn Geary in limiting the influence of Toby Greene.

Fellow 21-year-old Brandon White could earn a senior recall after a strong showing for the Zebras.
White has shown plenty of promise in his appearances for the Saints so far in 2018, and he will be looking to build on his eight senior games and play more consistent football at AFL level.

Brandon White backed up his dominant showing against Essendon with a prolific 33-disposal performance, taking five marks and standing up well in a backline that was battered by 60 inside 50s.
The 21-year-old defender also initiated 12 rebound 50s and is likely to feature heavily in discussions at the selection table.

Brandon White has been dominant at VFL level for the last two weeks, amassing 33 disposals on the weekend in a best-afield performance that will see his name hotly debated at the selection table.
The young defender provides plenty of run and drive coming out of defence, and his injection into the side could provide a new platform to launch the Saints into attack.

Young defender Brandon White earns his senior recall on the back of two dominant weeks for Sandringham.
White’s offensive game is founded on good ball use and attacking nous, and the 21-year-old will be looking to provide another platform from which the Saints can launch into attack.

Hamill says - Brandon White 15 kicks, 2 handballs, 3 marks, 3 tackles
I’d think 'Whitey' would be discussed this week and going forward. We know how good he is by foot, he makes really good decisions with the ball, and if he keeps improving, there’s no reason why 'Whitey' can’t have a significant influence at this footy club for a long period of time.

Brandon played on the weekend for Sandy but was concussed early and took no further part in the game . He will be tested this week to see if he can play the final game of the year.

Finals education for Battle, White

Josh Battle and Brandon White were more than just casual observers in the first week of finals.
They’re great opportunities just to sit down with a player and talk about what you might want.
Emerging St Kilda youngsters Josh Battle and Brandon White were more than just casual observers in the opening weekend of finals action.
The pair joined coach Alan Richardson for a date at the footy on Friday and Saturday night to soak up the atmosphere and get a lesson in finals football.
Battle spent Thursday night eyeing off the stylings of Hawk Jack Gunston, while White had Geelong’s Zach Tuohy in his sights at Friday night’s
Senior Coach Alan Richardson, who accompanied both players on the fact-finding missions, told AFL360 it was a great learning opportunity.
“It’s a great opportunity to sit down and have a chat, not so much about their year, but the position that they’re going to play moving forward,” Richardson said.
“For Josh, we had a look at Gunston. It ended up being a really stifled game, so he didn’t quite run the way we were wanting him to, unfortunately.”
Battle enjoyed a purple patch of form in the middle of 2018, before a collision in Round 20 saw him ruled out of the rest of the year due to concussion symptoms.
Like Battle, 2018 saw promising progression for White, who managed to play six AFL games in his third year at the club.
“Brandon is a defender for us and Tuohy’s balance of defending his man and run is impressive. He was a good one to watch,” Richardson said.
“They’re great opportunities just to sit down with a player and talk about what you might want, and what their pre-season might look like.”
Richardson also addressed rumours surrounding a potential quest by Geelong to lure three-time Trevor Barker Award-winner Jack Steven to the Cattery.
“We’re really comfortable that Jack’s not only staying with us, but will be a really important part of driving what we’re doing,” Richardson said.
“As a leader that cares about what we’re doing and was frustrated at the year we had on the back of a couple of years heading the right way … he just wanted to know (in his exit interview) what (the future) looks like,” Richardson said.
“That had nothing to do with ‘Give us a bit more information so I can make a decision about whether I’m staying’.
“This was ‘Can you give us a bit more detail on what it looks like going forward – I’m in and I’m going to drive it’.”

Finally some vision of the great 'White' hope who was spotted at training! Must say looking very lean and fit.

It was a moment in which one Saint was universally admired by the football world.
Sprinting back with the flight with no regard for his own safety, defender Jimmy Webster crashed headlong into Melbourne's Sam Weideman to effect a spoil.
Match-day experience is the most constructive teacher in the eyes of an AFL player, but valuable lessons can still be learned from afar.
Brandon White was in the grandstand of Marvel Stadium when St Kilda went up against Melbourne in Round 7 of last season; a match which ultimately resulted in the Saints succumbing to their fifth demoralising loss of the year.
But amid the misery of another defeat, White took inspiration from his fellow defender's stirring act of bravery.
The seasoned backman was among the best for the Saints that afternoon, finishing with 24 disposals and seven marks in a game otherwise lacking in highlights for the red, white and black.
It was a single, selfless act which has since served as a motivator for White, with the 22-year-old’s hardness at the contest unquestionable across his six matches for St Kilda last season.
Despite White only playing a further two senior games following Webster’s heroism, his hunger for the footy and willingness to put the team’s interests before his own remained the same while playing for VFL side Sandringham.
It’s something that he’s ensured is now a part of his game, and he continues to enhance it through the actions exhibited by Webster.
“I like the way Jimmy goes about it; he’s very courageous and he inspires teammates when he does stuff like that,” White said in reflection of his teammate’s heroics.
Jimmy putting his body on the line; it’s what we have to do a bit more as a team.”
The acknowledgement and celebration of such efforts have served as a catalyst for the Saints’ shift in culture for Season 2019, much of which has been reinforced by the work of Billy Slater.
“We’ve got to play for each other and I think we’ll see that this year with the changes we’ve made and the different culture we’ve created here,” White said.
“These little things add up – a chase where it leads into a turnover, where you get a tackle for it and then a possession for it – and then the big things will take care of themselves.”
“It doesn’t stop now. We’ve got to keep improving, and we can’t put the cue in the rack.”

White and Jimmy in our back line would be ruthless, add in Coffield as a rotation and the 3 should be locks. Austin direct for Brown with Rice direct for Geary

27 disposals, 18 kicks, seven marks, two tackles
“He’s been outstanding for the last five, six weeks now. He’s a product of hard work, Whitey. We know he’s got attributes, we know he can play and read the play really well for us, he’s got really good game sense and nous, so he was able to set the game up for us. But again, some of his intercept work was very good and he’s building nicely for us. He’s had a really good block and he’s going about it the right way.”
