    2010 Rate the Season: #18 Jesse White

    Jessie is a girl and I wanna make her mine ...

    Oops, sorry. Got a bit carried away.


    Jesse's not as much fun without his harem.


    Rate away.

    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

    Average.
    I know he was carrying an injury, but if you want to play forward kiddo, you've gotta be a bit better at marking the ball.

    I think we should send Jessie around the back - last line of defence type thing. I've got more faith in him coming forward to kick a goal than I ever did with Dunks or Leaping Leo.

      Pretty mediocre year after an exciting 2009. Leadup forward is a tough gig, though - a year ago who had heard of J. Reiwolt? Next year could well be Jesse's. If not there's always Reid and Johnston.

        I think you'll find it's that Jessie's got himself a girl and I wanna make her mine. But if he has a harem he probably won't care much.

        Just like he didn't appear to care much about the footy this year.

        I thought he was a big disappointment overall (although in fairness he did play a couple of good games - enough to suggest he could still be a serious player) - 4/10
        My opinion is objective truth in its purest form

            Not living up to his potential.
            Could be a very important year for Young Jesse.

              2 - A dissapointing season.

              Seemed to be worried about keeping out of Bradshaw's way early in the season, then seemed to lose confidence as the season went on.

              However, worth persisting with.

                  5 from me cos I love the bloke for his absolute enjoyment of his fellow players achievements. He is getting better, but has such a way to go.

                  I sometimes feel that because he had such a blokes body from the getgo that he was at a disadvantage because of the "great expectation" put on him, by others (us) and probably his coaches as well as himself. I think it held him back (can I live up to expections etc). Its all there, we have seen glimpses, and his competitiveness grew over the year and his one percenters also became effective and important. He started to crash the packs, creating holes for the mice to run through. If he is allowed to develop this part of his game, being a minder in the forward line, he just may become a very good player. But his reading of the play is not good...not good enough actually.

                  I wonder if the dropping of Cheese and MOD will become a wakeup call, that playing AFL is finite and if you want it badly enough you have to DO and not wait for things happen.

                  Frustrating isn't he. When he is good, he is very very good, and when he isn't .....

                    Needs to smash them in 2011 or he'll find himself on the trade table.

                      Just a 4.

                      I keep saying it but looking at replays of games gives you more insight into players as you watch exactly what is happening, rewinding as necessary, without getting emotionally involved and worrying about the game result. On the replays I saw Jesse do some magic stuff but all too infrequently.

                      He has all the attributes to be a stunningly good and hard to stop forward but he must start to impose himself on games and work hard 100% of the time.

                      C'mon Jesse, step up and make a mark in 2011.

                        5 - as others have stated he is too inconsistent. He has had some wonderful assists during the year, but that is not enough. I wonder if he just hasn't got the stamina required to run all game. Next year will be his third season playing seniors, he needs to make the most of it.

                            50/50 for me.
                            50% moments of brilliance and showed some real "presence" down forward interspersed with 50% ho hum. WHat we know is there is plenty of upside if he can stick his marks.

                              4.

                              Overall a pretty disappointing year after the high he finished on the previous year. He still has all the attributes to become a good solid senior player, but he will need to put in a better performance next season to the one he showed this season.
