Well his odds of being at Collingwood next season must have shortened significantly over the last 6 weeks.

I think you are in the wrong thread. This isn't the one about Cloke .

Jessie always seem to polarize us, has talent but not always there, we just have to accept he is what he is a good ordinary
footballer who will have good games then have poor one. never be a star but there abouts
 
Apart from missing those two goals, he actually played well last week. Yes, the misses where bad but he ticked all the other boxes. He has actually put together his best ever bloc of footy in black and white stripes. For some reason, White has always been assessed by supporters against a much higher threshold than most of our players, perhaps because he shows glimpses of athletic ability that few possess. I'm happy to take the good with the bad because he has a bit of X-factor about him and lord knows we don't have much of that in the cupboard. I would renew his contract long before those of Macaffer, Blair, Toovey, Goldsack, Sinclair, Witts (trade), Keeffe, Gault & Goodyear.

Yep something i have noticed with Jesse is his decision making has improved massively.

statistically his output has been pretty consistent over the past month, the only obvious exception being the glaring misses last week which seems to have altered perceptions about his game. Go back to his game against the Lions, almost the same possies, marks, etc, but for the missed goals they were very similar

I said after the Carlton game that Jesse White was entering career best form. He's been good the past month. Has a lot of confidence to his game. Has probably been worth what we paid for him. He's actually good for the third stringer role, has been playing it very well.

Hearing the hate Jesse gets at games from some 'supporters' has made me barrack for him more than anyone in the team (apart from Cox).

That is very peculiar. Didnt you feel a huge rush of hope when Jesse was first recruited, followed by a steady stream of hate when you realised that he wasn't going to use his unquestionable athleticism to kick heaps of goals for us?

Markman, I assumed that my mother's solitary hatred was Carlton. It was visceral.

In her final months, she revealed a second hatred - Prince Phillip. I retain a mild fondness for the inbred old rogue but sort of understood.

The point is hatred must be sparingly directed. When Jesse has a 'Jesse moment' he holds a mirror to my own failings. It is empathy, not hatred, that I feel.

Carlton & Phil the Greek?

I can see that.
 
Whiteyyyyyy, 2 goals tonight, set up a few. :D
Could become the leading goal kicker for us this year with no Fas, Moore or Elliot + Cloke in and out of the team.

I only tuned in to the last quarter... He looked to do some really good stuff. Set up a few.

True but not in the previous, just makes me nervous when is near the ball or has the ball in general play.
Now that Cloke is back, not sure he and Cox can play together especially with Moore due back next week.
 
He was our best forward last week by a long way. Played OK today.

Have him over Cox right now.
 
if the rain had fallen be fore the game cox was the one to left out not jesse
so l guess he is really in bucks good books at the moment.

Whether he will keep his spot, that is between him and Cloke. You would think Cox is in safe hands, Moore should have a VFL stint before coming back. Leaves Cloke with next game against Carlton to show where he belongs .
