IIRC he blamed the Saints' loss to us in the 2005 PF on their trading of Knobel to the Tigers. Typical Walls - makes a bleeding obvious observation (Jolly and Ball were smashing the Saints in the ruck in the last quarter) and keeps harping on it for the rest of the game. (I remember the call of that game well )

Tadhg: Not sighted after half way through second quarter, later heard he has a shoulder problem.

Thanks for both sets of detailed comments.
As for White debuting in round 1, I would think that would be a long shot even accounting for his excellent performances in the pre-season. Asking him to play a key position against the premiers in front of a huge crowd would be too daunting. In any case, in one of the pre-season articles, Longmire indicated while they were impressed by White they still he has a long way to go before making a senior debut.

On one hand I agree with you re White but fact is that we're down one tall backman - LRT - and someone else is going to have to come in. I am not suggesting that they'll stick White on CHF types - though first up it is Hansen, who is persistent and hardworking rather than explosive. I reckon Roosey is going to have to shuffle B2 and Big Ted around as CHB coverage. But that leaves a role for a third or spare tall, and if it is someone who can be switched forward - ala Richards - all the better.
White looks as good an option for this role as any other at the moment - Vogels is his only real competition. Vogels looked much happier and constructive playing in the forward line today than he has for the past two weeks in defence. Whereas White looks - at this early stage - competent at either end.
Of course, they may decide that Bolton, Richards and Barry can cover the tall forwards and choose to "replace" LRT with a smaller running player - especially against the Wiggles. But I still think that White is in with a shot.Comment

The Summernatts wedding was a definite highlight. (You know how much I love white trash!!)
A good run by all who participated, but honestly, why have one of the best tap ruckmen in the business, if there's no one there to receive the ball?
I think we only saw the ball go straight down someones throat once today - to Kirky then onto a goal. It looked so easy from where we were sitting.
It was very, very hot in Canberra today (I came home with a tan ... wow!!). They did play as well as could be expected, although there were a lot of handling errors and turnovers that were direct results of too much handballing. Sometimes I think they've just gotta bite the bullet and kick it forward.
I would have loved to have seen BBBH out there. He could use the practice. But then again, I belive BBBH should play with the mindset of "this year I'm going to win the Coleman". It seriously can't hurt us.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

It is up to BigFooty to set their own rules. RWO has had a consistent rule for several years that full articles should not be posted, as set out in the RWO Forum Rules at the top of every forum.Originally posted by giant

Draftee that debuted Rd. 1....Saddington.
Watched last night in Launceston. He seems very happy with his team mates. Didn't do much....made me want to cry as he was one of my favourites. A shell of him at his best."The Dog days are over, The Dog days are gone" Florence and the MachineComment

I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment
