PJ's season over

Featured Replies

 
He rarely played as a floating tall forward.

For a reason. White does and cannot play body on body football. It crucifies him up forward. He is not a recognised contested mark except when marking with his natural spring 2nd or 3rd deep on his chest. His lack of physical presence particularly since the introduction of the centre circle has cruelled his effectiveness as a ruckman. Over his 12 year career he has had many (failed) stints up forward and shown neither the physical capacity or the knowledge to play key position forward.

As ruckman, he played with great mobility and provide good linkage between half forward and half back not just a kick behind the play. However after 276 games where you have kicked 111 goals 76 behinds would hardly suggest he is dangerous around the goals.

 
For a reason.

Indeed.

White looks most dangerous going forward when he's cruising down the opposite side of the centre circle to the ball carrier, and can take a mark as he pushes into the 50.

So we can expect Sylvia to be BOG then?

:lol:

Bruce will be BOG


It would cheer me up immensely if someone could do a quick round up of Freo's drafting "ability."

At a quick think, Farmer, Mcleod, White, Bell, Croad have all been traded out of Freo, any others? Any there that are wrong?

and taken such players as:

chris groom

john hutton

phil gilbert

todd ridley

ginger nuts in tony delaney

andrew wills

fair dinkum - it is a recipe that the gold coast will not and wont be allowed to take....

they will move heaven and earth to keep warnock!!

Phil Matera? Didn't know that!

How'd I forget James Clement.

On a positive, they traded away Kingsley Hunter, the down side of that is that they had him in the first place. Adam McPhee. This just gets better and better

Article in the Sunday HUN by Craig Hutchison about Adem Yze being asked to sign a legal waiver before being allowed to play in Sandringham's finals campaign finishes with this paragraph about Jeff White and Paul Johnson:-

Well, now the melbournefc.com.au site says he might still play this week despite the fact that he is facing surgery some time soon - Johnson set to have hip surgery.


Truth is White has never been a goal kicking follower at anytime during his career.

Tell that to the Bulldogs!! Haha... you are right, except for that one game towards the end of a couple of seasons ago, when he sunk the Bulldogs finals hopes with just a few moments to go. I was sitting right behind him, was certain he'd miss... and he snagged it from the boundary. I'll always remember that magic moment and the feeling walking away from that game :P

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
