Mitch White to debut

[Adam The God 29,299]

Solid. Very solid debut.

[daisycutter 29,296]

like his size and he plays tall

picket might finally be onto something

[Earl Hood 6,057]

I was proud of Crossy for coming back on to the ground after he completely African Americaned out when his head hit the turf.

Que?

[Gator 17,218]

Really like him.

[Adam The God 29,299]

Que?

Sounds horribly racist to me. Wonder what Biffen has for his explanation.

[#11-TonyAnderson 705]

Didn't look overawed at all. Very competitive and hard at it. Great debut.

[Adzman 2,153]

Looked comfortable. Looking forward to him getting some more games next year

[Moonshadow 17,470]

Hes a beauty for sure. loved his strong contested mark in the middle of the ground. Personally he has overtaken Grimes for next year.

Solid unit too!

That's just ridiculous. Over taken Grimes after one game (actually, 3 quarters)? Be realistic Dazzle. I know the excitement of the win and all that, but Grimes has played a number of good games in the back half of the season. He's a keeper, and I reckon Roos thinks the same.

[Henrietta Lumbago 331]

I liked his kicking . Direct and certain, he didn't look out of place.

Well done Whitey

African Americaned = 'Blacked out'?

[Mad_Melbourne 872]

Was a solid debut, without being outstanding.

Made some really bad defensive lapses and looked confused sometimes, but also made some really significant contributions with some good spoils and intercept marks, looks a likely type.

very heavily left footed

This is supposedly humour?

God help us.

good luck with that last one

So who the F is Jane Bunn???

And what has it got to do with this thread?

Good debut, I think he panicked a bit but still used it well, when he gets used to the pace I think he could be a very solid player.

mmm excellent viewing..

Personally he has overtaken Grimes for next year.

If he's overtaken Grimes who had 24 possessions, 4 tackles and 1 goal then he must be about three laps of the Flemington racecourse in front of Lumumba who managed 27 possessions in his last three completed games and a single possession in the first quarter against Carlton.

It's disappointing Dazzle that in the act of praising a terrific first up game from White you couldn't resist a sling at Grimes who, just for the record, was much better than White yesterday.

For someone who is so quick to jump on others you certainly put the boots in where you can. I suspect you'll be dancing in the streets when Bail is delisted in the next few weeks. Happy days eh?

[Gorgoroth 12,697]

Really? You are all getting excited over her...

Fair enough... Carry on...

where did i say i was getting excited about her

and, really, when are you going to learn google

[dazzledavey36 52,710]

Grimes was horrible yesterday. Dont want to put a damper on the win but he wont be in our starting 22 next year. He continues to make very critical errors that result in goals and turnovers.

Don't give me this rubbish of Grimes getting 24 disposals when 20 of them were pretty much turnovers. Take your rosy coloured glasses off.

White already has better disposal and seem alot calmer then the panicky Grimes. After a full pre season he along with Salem will be one of our better kickers off a half back.

Ironically, you're quick to stick the boots into Lumumba every chance you get.

The facts are that we need to get better, and despite Grimes being able to rack up possessions in recent weeks, he's still been average when under pressure. Even you would have cringed when he dropped that sitter in the 1st qtr which resulted in a goal. White showed good composure for a 1st gamer, and played a position that Grimes has occupied for some time. Grimes is out of contract, so DD's comment was not unreasonable.

Agree, whats the fuss about? Looks like mrs average.

Liked the look of White, and was surprised at his size.

Its nice to have another option off half back, but can he play a shutdown role?

Picket?

I wasn't going to google at work, as I did not know who she was...

My works very very strict on interwebz, but some like Demonland get through.

Grimes very good?! Better than White?!

White at 16 very clean possessions yesterday and blew away my expectations. I was disappointed when we subbed him off truth be told.

It's incredibly lucky Grimes has a year left on his contract, his decision making and execution were nothing short of embarrassing yesterday. He dropped two basic marks that cost us goals, his handballs always put a teammate under pressure.

Not too mention the most frustrating thing about him is whenever we switch, or he received the ball in a dangerous position he doesn't move on the ball with any pace at all. Backwards ball movement or slowly jogging back and kicking a 35m down the line are his only options.

Incredibly frustrating player and respect his service to the club, but will be happy when other players have overtaken him.
