White

[TIGER DAVE]

On his ability to play footy , so far he gets a pass from me,he needs to still work on his game ,but i have no dought he will get much better

On his caracter as a person, outstanding

He is EXACTLY the type of player/person I want to see at the club in the future

Needs to learn to kick accurately when running at full pace.

it's impossible to kick it perfectly when your running full pace every time. but he could improve.

 

[SDM08]

Yup your right elliot. His poor disposal cost us a lot against Melbourne but was very good Vs. Roos needs to become more consistent.

Yes, he had a poor game against Melbourne. Actually i thought it was lack of disposal that hurt us . Not enough awareness, and too much determination (if thats possible), got caught with the ball.

Overall a good player thats developing, IMO.

 

[bloodiedtiger]

Is my favorite player this season because of his attitude and his workrate. Underrated as a future leader as far as I'm concerned. He gives everything.

Reiwoldt gets a lot of the PR on this board, but I rate White higher in the future leadership stakes.

And I have yet to see him shirk responsibility in a game this season. Depsite his shortcomings, we need this kind of boy if this club is going to go somewhere.

yes A+ for effort and endeavor, but facts are, he is a very unreliable kick, worse than jackson, and his decision making is somewhat suspect also.

hard worker yes
match winner no
key play no
team player yes
list clogger maybe
captain no way

Pfffttttt....

White Lightning is currently sitting on roughly 77% disposal efficiency this season so it ain't too bad at all. Plus the things that he brings to the team in the form of tackling, blocks, shepherds, runs all game, quick as etc, all the stuff that Richmond players are not known for, makes him an important cog IMO.

i'm sure that can only go up.

he's got good skills, he works hard and he takes the game on. whilst many other richmond player chip backwards, sideways and in all directions other than our goals, white is breaking the lines and taking on the opposition. He takes the risks that Richmond need to take to become a good team.
forget tambling, JON, Riewoldt and MORTON, White has by far the most potential and is definatly a leader in the making.

list clogger?? your joking right

 

[carn tigez]

Just traded him into my supercoach team for Rischitelli, shouldn't be too hard to beat him. He better play well this week though

 

[Crumden]

I tend to disagree with the comments about his lack of consistency and poor kicking, at least as far as this season goes. Apart from his shocker against Melbourne he has been one of our better players in each of the other 4 games (although admittadly that hasn't been a very high bar to meet). He also looks like he has worked pretty hard on his kicking and I reckon there has been a definite improvement this year. Can still spray it when running at full tilt, but when he balances himself his kicking is usually now pretty effective. He's never going to be an A grade midfielder, but I reckon he can be a pretty useful offensive weapon if used right. Throw him into the midfield in red time as a speedy fresh pair of legs and let him go.

Richo is the worst kick we've had since David Cloke. But he's in our greatest players list because his other attributes (contested marks, stamina/endurance, passion) far outweigh his kicking.

White's kicking will improve because kicking is a skill you can teach. What you cant teach a player (at Punt Rd it seems anyway) is determination to play footy and win games. White has that already, and its been in short supply at our club for a few decades.

 

[roostertalk]

I'm loving that all the arrogant little bastards are stamping their authority on a team with way too many introverts in it. Jack and Whitey are the arrogance we need to go places.

Did any of you know Whitey has flames tattooed on the back of his calves such is his opinion of his pace? hope he continues being good enough to pull that off.

more or less spot on for both jacko and white. skills are a mixed bag.

jacko has the turning circle of queen mary, it is agonising watching him turn and make his mind where to kick/handball. white is a bit quicker thinking on his feet.

Spot on! Was our most improved last year and looks to be improving even more.
