Changes for Rnd 7 v Bulldogs (Nipper Gordon to debut!)

[stellation]

If people did their research properly they would know that Jesse played football from a very young age right through to being drafted. "Coming from a Basketball background" is not just an excuse it is absolute BS. He played both.

AFL Queensland: Jesse White

The guys isn't even really tall, either- he's really only 5'10". All just a beat up.

196cm is 6'5" not 5'10"

Plays down the wrong line as that one goes straight through to the keeper.

Stella you're being evil again.....tut tut.

I'd like to see Dill be given a go this weekend but worried about him getting himself into a pickle.

Jesse is really just a very short ruckman.

I was sucked in - didn't recognise the sarcasm - my bad

Nipper to debut!

Home grown Swan is ready to fly

EDIT: Reading into it too much to say there aren't any other debutants?

Nathan "Nipper" Gordon to replace Jack against Bulldogs.

Home grown Swan is ready to fly

Congratulations Nipper.

Excellent, though I was also hoping for LJ's debut as well it is still exciting. Video here

I don't know where you pulled that from, it's not linked from the front page but great find

Great to read about a debuting player who is a Swan through and through. Go get em kid!

I am so amazingly excited about this, Nipper played his junior footy at the same club I did (albeit just one or two years after me!)- I think this is the first AFL game for someone from the club since Dion Myles? Great, great stuff.

I dip my hat ugg. I doubted you would be right about Nipper. I've learnt my lesson!

OMG, did you have to? I'd just about banished Dion Myles from all memory. My lasting memory of Myles was Brad Pearce kicking 6 or 7 on him at Princes Park in the late 90's. It wasn't nice.

As for Nipper, what you will get is a ferocious attack on the ball, a ferocious attack on the man (he's an excellent tackler) and a pretty damn good overhead mark. You won't get super silky skills however, so I'll be watching with immense interest as well. I just hope he doesn't get crucified if he makes a few clangers as he will no doubt be nervous and one's skills rarely improve under pressure.

Well done to the club for pushing these blokes thru, but as I said when AJ got the nod, I wonder how LJ must be feeling?

Not at all ugg, I think you're spot on. You'd imagine that if LJ was to also debut (the other logical debutant) it would have been a joint interview piece on the website.
