Toast Congrats Simon White...

[yakidkay]

I'd be leaving him in if i was you guys and leaving thornton on the fringe

 

[Korn]

who needs Thornton??????????

 

[chelseacarlton]

Love him,did'nt seem out of his depth and actually played a more positive role than Thornton by a long White cloud.
Very happy,and that diving punch,yeeeeess,NICE

 

[Silvagnis]

Settled well after a nervous start and an adjustment to the speed of the top level.

Nice kick on his wrong foot to a leading forward IIRC.

Should stay in until Thornton pushes him out.

 

[BlueGibbs2011]

Very good game considering it's his first at AFL level.

If he cant continue on, we can raise the bar a bit due to a better defence.

 

[Aphrodite]

Congratulations to Simon on a very impressive debut.

 

[Madblue]

Did quite well although i think i would get back Thornton for him next week.

 

[Silvagnis]

As if...

 

[blues4flag]

Disposal was also very solid.

 

[mickelboy182]

It's not just Thornton that might push him out, we've still got Bower to come back.

Regardless, a solid first game. Struggled early but got into it as the game went on.

 

[BlueTouchPaper]

Will hold his spot until Thornton can push him out.
Could prove invaluable used on quick mid-sized forwards in the next couple of weeks.
Which constitutes most of Collingwood and Geelong's forward-lines.

Absolutely supreme debut from the rookie - never looked out of his depth.
Showed such strength at times and great nous, I hope he shows as much next week!

 

[WALKERTOBETTS]

Good start to a promising career, its good to see some depth within the side well done whitie

 

[Sin City]

18 disposals and 11 marks from the first gamer. Top effort.

 

[Beloved]

He looks like a guy that has been playing for a few years. I loved it.

He has, in the wafl.

 

[Sin City]

He has, in the wafl.

LOL. All jokes aside, that fast pace of WAFL footy on the big, fast WA grounds is possibly one of the reasons guys like Rich, Ballantyne, Priddis and White have been so comfortable with the pace of AFL.

 

[pickman]

Did some good things, got exposed by Burton one-on-one a few times especially early (luckily Birdman couldn't kick straight). Solid debut but I'll reserve judgement till I see him play a few more games.

 

[AlecDuncan]

Fair effort from the kid, and he doesn't look out of place at all. A keeper.

 

[ESKIE]

Yes did some good things, but ffs , Burton got some soft frees today..White was quite stiff in a few.. I thought he did well today and his diving punch/smother to save a certain goal was an awsome effort & at a critical time of the match did the mighty 43 good, plus he is built really good and I expect to see him playing more in the 1st's

 

[Silvagnis]

Bower, Grigg and White will all be called Bower by the commentators.

Saves time.

See Tim Lane calling Yarran Eddie Betts.

 

[Sin City]

They called Carrazzo Garlett as well today, that gave me a laugh

 

[blue gunslinger]

I kept on thinking Robbo was Judd

Did not hear a thing (not because of my deafness) - had to turn off sound -that girl commentators voice reminded my of a nasally race caller

 

[Silvagnis]

Leave Underwood alone.

I kept on thinking Robbo was Judd

Me too.

 

[Mister Carlton]

I hate when they get Betts mixed up with Yarran or vice versa.
