I'm enraged.. i can't even begin to imagine what inform players in the Maggies are feeling right now
 
I hope to be wrong but Matt White looks physically finished to me. Clearly in delist territory. Hopefully he has a great game or the absolute opposite, so we can move on and let him play in the academy side until the end of the season.

JFC, we're getting Phil Jacksoned here.
Today's work goes straight out the window.
Gonna be on here all day for the glorious melts...
 
Janus, we need you to pull some stats and tell us why White's inclusion is a no brainer and everything is going to be alright (something about the size of MCG and speed, etc).
 
A list of players more suitable for a call up than Matt White, in no particular order:

Billy Frampton
Logan Austin
Riley Bonner
Brett Eddy
Willem Drew
John Butcher
Joe Atley
Aidyn Johnson
Dougal Howard
Jesse Palmer
Todd Marshall

Edit: forgot Ah Chee

I hope Matt plays a great game, we're going to need him too; But a disgraceful selection, picked on performances of 2 years ago and relying on his speed which I'm not sure is there anymore.
 
A fully fit and fast Matty White is a no brainer pick, even if we had a full list. He's cooked though, he's lost pace and is injured more often then not. That sucks, as in 2014 he was about the most exciting player on our list to watch, but that's (football) life.

I'll be stoked if White shows he's got his pace back. I'll happily eat my words. I don't see it happening though.
 
In all honesty, Ken lost me a long time ago. His attempts to partner Lobbe and Ryder was all I needed to know about his nouse for team balance and structure.
 
This is easily the worst selection call of the Hinkley era. He has completely lost the plot.

GTFO Hinkley and Matt White.

I know you know this, but not his fault he's been picked.

Had to go horses for courses here, backing in a senior player to perform despite woeful form coming in. Break glass in case of emergency stuff.

This doesn't annoy me anywhere near as much as our ongoing distaste for a legit second tall forward.
 
Ahhhh I dont think I even have it in me to melt anymore. The pittard for polec change made me flat. This is just....well nothing. Just such a nothing, undeserved change
 
The very worst thing about this is we effectively start a man down from the off. Matt White is so far from AFL level that it will be exactly like the GWS game. He wont get near it and when he does he is no longer up to it.

The damage of such a selection doesnt only affect us tomorrow. This flows down the list. Those of you have played sport at a reasonable level, know that within a team you know within yourself when there is someone playing in front of you that is undeserving. Blokes like Palmer, Bonner, Atley, Ah Chee, Drew wouldnt admit it but they would be thinking, how the heck is this old, slow bloke getting a game in front of me. He not even performing at SANFL.

Ken is a hypocrite coaching for himself and not for the team.
