Jeff White Dropped

[Team Mo']

WTF? Why has he been dropped? You don't one of your better players when your playing poorly. Something fishy going on here

And i forgot to name an emergency for him

 

[dunkarob]

About time. should have happened on a perminant basis three years ago. bring back simmonds and jolly

 

[Shinboner '07]

he deserved it.

 

[unstable punt]

never thought I'd see the day when Jeff White missed out on a game of footy behind Mark Jamar

will be interesting to see how long he's out for, and if this is his last year... if he's getting dropped it doesn't look good for him staying on the melbourne list next year...

would anyone be interested in picking him up?

its frickin' joke that Jamar is in and Whites out!!!!!!! Jamar IS the worst player in the AFL let alone the MFC

 

[w00dy]

Most overrated ruckman of his generation.
Never did a damn thing.

you've obviously put a lot of thought into that post...

people tend to forget how good he was before the ruck circle was brought in... used to be very good at centre bounces, with his big leap... the circle restricts his leap and hasn't been as effective since...

he was All Australian in 2004, and has great skills for a ruckman, but his tap work hasn't been that great in recent years...

after sydney smashed us in the clearances last week they may want better output from our ruckman in terms of taps, the only area Jamar is better than white in..

Definitely tanking now.

Tankanui

I like the idea of dropping White, that way we get to see whether Jamar is up to it, and if he can ruck a full game, because we will need him to next yr, because its looking like White might be floated for trade.

Why? Were Geelong tanking when they dropped King in previous years?

White has been performing poorly and hasn't been doing the team rules, but of course in the view of nuff nuffs this automatically means we're tanking.

King wasn't dropped, he was chronically injured.

Besides we had better alternatives in Ottens and Blake as a ruck duo.

Jamar is a hack, Johnson is the slowest ruckman I've seen in years, and from what I've heard on Martin, he's likely to be more of a key defender.

You're tanking, simple as that.

Don't even bother. No matter what year it is from here on in and no matter what the team does. Any move from teams 14-16 will be labeled as tanking. It's the new fad for supporters / media.

What a simplistic person you are

Will Messen get a game this year folks??

In all likelihood yes with the way things are going. Wouldn't be surprised to see him, Grimes and Maric debuting this year as well. I think that'll mean we'll have debuted 8 new players this year

Considering Melbourne's record this year it is a fairly easy connection for Melbourne's worst to be the League worst.

If you are incapable of victory how can losing be tanking. Melbourne appear to be trying hard but they are undermanned and players like White and Yze will not be part of any resurgence.

Has Maric(Adam?) played this year? I hear he is supremely talented.

No.

He is doing Year 12 and some supporters are delusional about his chances of playing this year, because he won't.

He is a very talented small forward/potential midfielder.

 

[P.A.F.C]

Absolutely.
Would give Hampson and Kreuzer time to really develop into quality ruckman.

Good point actually. Blues could use a senior ruckman and he'd sure beat Ackland.

 

[Choota]

Obviously getting worried about West Coast.

Droppig White to let Jamar lead your ruck?

It is probably tanking - but it is definitely a personalised job vacant sign to Robbie Warnock.

If Warnock and Naitanui both come to Dees, which is likely at this stage, our rucks division will be quite impressive. Meeson can be a runner.

don't know how many games you've been to but so far Jamar has been crap
