    I would trust Bill Clinton with my unborn daughter more than I'd trust your sources.

    Whoever at the club is suggesting an undeveloped 18 year old rookie is about to overtake a 20 year old pick 4 midfielder after one week of training rivals you for the most stupid opinion ever.

    Don't buy it, but happy for the two of them and others to fight it out for a spot. Be a bonus if they both turned it on.

    Unlike young white who has been at training for a week...

    You're happy to afford white time to develop because he's a role model but not Jimmy who you wrote off from the word go.

    Let's hope they both become good players.

    Your sources are nothing but rubbish Picket, they were telling us Frawley had signed with the dockers and Mark Thompson was set to be announced as GC coach. You were telling us all year your love crush Juice Newton was a certain to be drafted? What happened there? Your sources flopped as usual.

    Time to find some new friends.

    Funny how you already rate White ahead of Toump who is one week into his training and yet to kick an AFL football.

    Your joke.

    Yeah right... amazing how a thread about a new player becomes a rhetoric Love feast for those "Toumpas Faithful" who has had two years at the club.

    Another "Sabotaged" Thread, Pfft no wonder I haven't posted on here for a while!

    Amazing !!

    Ok Forget all I said!

    The Kid will probably be a Flop, whilst Toumpas will be the new Messiah!!

    Alleluia!!

    Why do you need to take the gloves off? Talk your sources and opinion no need for the anger.

    No anger, just becoming tired of some posters using every opportunity to pump up the tyres of Jimmy Toumpas, therefore totally sabotaging a thread about a new Draftee!

    Ok I'll play and say again if people want to project the virtues of a player who has been on our list for two seasons and done sweet fanny adams, they then can put up with my own interpretation of continuing to doubt, No make that have severe doubt that the player mentioned is better than a Rank Rookie pick as selected.

    There you go! Take it or leave it!

    So back to Mitchell White and from his highlights package I have ascertained the following, forget my sources, this is my own appraisal!

    • Has a Rapier left foot
    • Has a low centre of gravity in core which means he won't be easily brushed aside
    • Can kick a goal and on his non preferred foot
    • Reads the play very well
    • Plays taller than his height suggests and takes well judged marks
    • Not frightened wins his own ball and finds space through traffic
    • Seems to have that sixth sense about player movement around him, therefore buying time for excellent disposal
    • That will do for now and I further predict that when Trengove is placed on the LTI list for this season this bloke will become a senior player.

    So in summation, if posters want to dish it up mess up a thread with frivolous comprimises concerning other players then expect me to return fire!

    No anger just business!

    Well done Mitchell White I hope you become a household name among the MFC Faithful!

    Umm, I'm entirely neutral on the question of Jimmy Toumpas, being happy to wait for him to be whatever he will be. The way I read it though, and I suspect plenty of others do, is that you take every opportunity (to the point of complete tedium) to stick whatever nails you can find into his tyres. Trying to use Mitchell White as another pointed object is, quite frankly, as offensive to the kid as it is to Jimmy T.

    As BBO suggests, sober up ... metaphorically if not literally.

    The fact Jimmy has been on the list for two years is irrelevant picket, my point is you wrote him off right away but make the point white should be afforded time because he is "a role model" why is one worthy of time but not the other

    Jimmy came to the club in a similar situation, loads of talent but would take time because of his injury.

    And don't say you're frustrated by people "pumping up jimmys tires" when you do the same thing for young Mr wines who doesn't even play for our club.

    What a load of self serving tripe

    Do you wear glasses that somehow prevent you from reading your own posts ?

    Thread derailment occusrs when you take whatever opportunity you can to stick the knife into Toumpas. People don't get on here & defend him if he's not being attacked

    Your jibes at him are childish and mean-spirited

    Of course you won't realise this as your head is so far up your own arse you can count your teeth !

    Grow up !

    Back on topic - I was disappointed we couldn't lure Malceski from the Swans. However if we could develop our own in young White, what a bonus that would be. He seems to know when to attack the ball & when to defend his man. And that is a beautiful left peg he's got. Does anyone know if he has a right foot as well as plenty of lefties seem not to bother with the opposite side.

    He looks good but there must be a reason he fell through to the rookie draft.

    We have a bunch of rookies and late picks we are hoping will step up to the next level, reality is most won't make it.

    So instead of having a go at me then vent your frustration at those who first mentioned Jimmy Toumpas in this thread. Toumpas was not mentioned at all by me in this thread until those who obviously have hidden agendas decided to ingratiate him into this conversation!

    So whilst I merely added weight to the Mitchell White thread others decided to put Jimmy Toumpas into the equation! Probably to wind me up!

    Yeah well wind away and I will stay true to my convictions.

    Don't like it don't read it! Oh and one other thing, I couldn't give a stuff If posters start a thorough and detailed appraisal of the validity, or otherwise of whether I am "Improving" in quality of posts or not, Likewise whether the mail I get comes to fruition or not.

    I post what I hear at my discretion and after all, whether wrong or right, does anyone really know THE FACTS until things play out?

    Nar.Not unless Paul Roos himself, Chris Connolly, Peter Jackson, any of the players, Mr Magoo, or Crocodile Dundee posts under an avatar of secrecy!

    So BACK TO THE THREAD!

    Mitchell White will hopefully become a very good player for MFC

    END OF RANT!

    Hope so...like I hope they all do. In fact I hope a few become even better than very good players for the MFC.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
