We all get that weird feeling in our pants from time to time when thinking about Ablett... Whoops! Wrong one.

Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

God damn Mclaren.

[Bloody Hell]

I'm keen for Mike to do well, it's all very exciting- but do you honestly think that, hype aside, he did more than Jesse's been doing all year? Mike had 4 disposals and 11 hitouts, in Jesse's last outing he had 6 and 12 (and a goal). Stats don't say it all, and you're right that Jesse may see less time n the forward line thanks to the return of Michael and Barry; but I'd still argue that if we're looking just for the handful of touches and a dozen hitouts then investing time in Jesse may have been the right go.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but White has been groomed as a KPP for the future, where Pyke is viewed as ruck.

White was pinch hitting - no longer required, particularly with a view towards Currie's arrival.

Jolly, Pyke, Currie - White would be better served playing for FF, CHF, CHB, FB.

I would suggest that White will be back next week for a 4 week run and then rested and maybe Curry will be given a couple of weeks in the seniors (if ready) to give White another spell in the ressies to run out a game.

It will do nothing for White, for him to be playing 5 to 7 minutes a quarter for an entire year.

Not a bad plan of attack, but the Coaching Staff must be careful with the balance. We got the trade of the year when Jolly had similar gripes to playing in a Melbourne team next to Jeff White.
