The Jesse White Vent thread

[Badger]

He is doing OK, especially yesterday.

He's a 4th quarter specialist. Usually the game opens up a bit, and his opponent gets tired.

If we're within a goal or two at 3/4 time, cometh the moment, cometh the man!

Does sufficient to be considered a certain starter at present and occasionally does stuff that wets the appetite for more.

I think he will be a key fwd player from 2012 along with Reid and Johnston as the other talls.

Agree 100%. But he's really gotta work on his marking. It's the only thing holding him back atm.

I must have been watching another game. He was good yesterday? He was bloody lost for pretty much the whole game. There was one particular moment where he had the whole half forward flank open to lead into and he just stood there looking at the bloke with the ball (might have been smithy). In days gone by Mickey or Baz would have just have done a 10m lead and took it on the chest, then looked to hit someone else with a small chip for a shot on goal. Instead, Jesse just stood there like a roo in headlights and eventually they kicked it to him anyway and it went over the back and dribbled out of bounds. I dont care that he took a one hander when it was kicked right to him in the guts, nor do I care that he is a fit big unit with unlimited potential. I'm a fan of Jesse but he has been giving us nothing for too long, I'm all for Jesse in 2011 but Bradders knows how to play and Jesse does not. I think roos agrees but just needs Bradders to promise he can last. Bradshaw in the goal square makes the swans a very very dangerous team.

Indeed, maybe he could ask Reid for some tips?

Jesse has been very lucky that circumstances have given him so many runs in the seniors this season because he hasn't always earned it. Still, he's a player that could reward perseverance from the coaches like 2 former RWO whipping boys, LRT and Grundy. Or he could disappear (3 year contract notwithstanding) like Luke Vogels who had shown enough glimpses of talent to have many of us thinking he was a solid prospect.

I'm hoping he really puts it together in the next couple of years and becomes the dominant forward he's built to be.
