Toast Congrats Simon White...

[Blueboys7]

White is 3cm smaller than Jamo, and a very big ask for a 1st gamer to play on such a target as Tippett. Not sure i'd throw the young bloke to wolves that early IMO.

Agree with you here HBF. Adelaide's efficient ball movement and our lack of midfield pressure allowed easy entries inside 50 so we can't just blame Jamo for that. He will get the first crack especially if Tippett remains at FF like he should be.

On another note I was wrapped to see us give this bloke a chance, I'm almost more excited about our rookie selections than our ND selections . Although that Kane Lucas goes alright!

I like the way we are recruiting in the RD looking for quick defenders who can spoil first, get the footy second. Although I am lead to believe that White can accumulate from half back. Good closing speed and spoiling ability was what attracted us to Jamo, I can see the similarities between those two and can't help but be excited by this kid/man.

Go Simon, prove me right!

He's the goods lads you won't be disappointed.

 

[gbatman]

We really need him to play well for us and turn out into a decent player, we are struggling.

 

[chelseacarlton]

White in the Blue.
Good luck young man.
Smash the little black bird

Saw him play last week, and some highlights when he was still at Subiaco. Looks a very accomplished player, very poised down back. Hope me makes a good fist of tomorrow's game vs Adelaide.

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

Really excited about this kid. Hope he has a cracking game and gives his all, which is all we ask

 

[Dramoth]

I am sure that he is going to come out and give it a red hot go.

I hope so - I haven't been this excited since 2001 when I found out Luke Livingston was going to make his debut.

Thanks to all who pointed out how to play above your height, and cited examples...but you all forgot to mention David Bain, the shortest player in history and therefore by definition MUST have played above his height????

It was only a little joke, and the mobility query referred to having to play on stilts to play above his height, which would reduce mobility i would assume!

Anyway, I hope he is a champion!!!!!!!! Go Simon!!

Now i see what you did there, that would be awkward.

 

[Blue and Silver]

I reckon that Warnock may be used on Tippett in the backline, and follow him if he goes into the ruck. The height match-up works better and it should cover our backline nicely

Is J. Cachia likely to get a senior game this year.? Hows his form in the vfl been?

Check his thread in the buddy draft board champ. Most reports have been pretty impressive so far.

 

[mightymightyblues]

He looks an absolute beauty

 

[Sin City]

Started to get into the swing of things in the second quarter. I know we're only playing Adelaide but it looks like we've got a player here.

 

[raymagoo]

great game from the boy, awesome composure, looks a keeper! congrats simon white!!

 

[Dramoth]

Excellent stuff...

I am going to be hanging out for a torrent of the match...

 

[The Toad]

Yep. I thought he did very well for his first game. Would have been a pretty hostile crowd over there in scumsville, so all in all a good first up effort from the lad.

 

[HBF]

What a debut!
Just looked so composed down back. That diving spoil late in the game really summed up his game. Reckon we have found an absolute ripper here.

 

[Jeremias]

Nervous start as the Crows went through his direct opponent, Burton, in the first quarter.

Didn't drop his head and kept at it, and as the game wore on he looked more comfortable out there.

Thought he was really solid on debut and performed really well.

Looks to be a real player. Well done Simon!

 

[Sin City]

Yep, that dive was a pearler

 

[cfc4life]

great work whitey.

 

[BlueSnake]

Slotted in rather nicely aye

And dare I say it, as well as those who have seen him a bit were expecting. Well done Whitey

 

[Mister Carlton]

Fantastic game by the young blue. Future looks bright.

 

[Warsaw]

Liked his game, that diving punch of the footy was awesome to see.

Intersting what happens to him next week though.
