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

Medhurst and Pick 8 for Tarrant

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

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
