Why would White take the main defender? He will only be playing his 2nd game in the AFL and from what ive heard about him in the reserves White isnt exactly the type of player who will score a bag load of goals each week.
i'm not sure why you've got that impression
he played as a target forward in a preseason game last year and kicked four
i'm not sure how often he's been used as such since, but i know he's big enough, strong enough to play that position (he rucks, for god's sake, he's not gonna come up against anything MORE physical playing as a key forward)
and i also know we cannot afford to play both davis and micky o the way they're going, and of that pair, you drop davis, it's simple
white, to me, is the man who should be groomed to erplace hall down the track
he's far more assured in his play (from what i've seen) than grundy (who i also like) and i can't see why an astute fan such as your good self would be so against the idea
