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 time -

The free against White was there according to the letter of the law as he momentarily touched the back of an opponent with his hands before he lept. It was there just like the tiny touch on Rioli against Crouch, the incidental high contact on Brown against Shaw (which Brown caused, not Shaw) and the slight front on contact on Goodes when he wasn't really in a position where he was likely to mark.
As I commented last week, Plugger would be laughing (or crying) over the things forwards get frees for nowadays.Comment

Would love to see White get the RS nomination this week, though there's probably about a 0.2% chance of that happening when most of our young guns never get any recognition.
It'd really stick it up some people.Comment

There need only be two words in this thread for Jessie White....
........Has Arrived.
Breakout game for him that we'll hopefully see him build on. The future of our rucking dept if Saturday is anything to go by.Comment

Jesse White is now ready for a lot more game time.Comment

White has really shone so far this season, and though it's still very early I'm allowing myself to get carried away because I believe he's just that good!
Who woulda thought? A young, confident, big bodied KPP and he plays for the Swans. Something ain't right!Comment

Not to mention Currie and Johnstone.
Just need to draft a longterm KP defender that is phycially able to slot in quickly down back.

It's ace, isn't it DST! I'm sure you carried the title of official driver of the J.White bandwagon for quite a while- you pick 'em early. I just picked him 'cause he's handsome
In all seriousness, if White strings together another few games of the calibre of his first few of this season then we absolutely have to make a 22 game commitment to him this year. Play him, see what he can do. He won't be a long term ruck, he might have the athletecisim to win a lot of contests now but MAN it must be taking a toll on his body as an undersized ruckman to consistently jump over guys that have 5-6 inches (plus arm length) on him.I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline

RBN is draftable this year and is KPP height - though as of the end of last season he was very skinny still. And given his frame, it was hard last year to get a handle on his potential by watching the reserves game. He certainly isn't a dud but I'm not confident to make a call on whether he's AFL potential.
Then there really is nothing in reserve. Lets hope there are some decent quality talls available in the draft this year. We're gonna need them!Comment
