Yes he had a presence there. Shame he couldn’t slot those sitters
Thanks for the info guys
He sliced the two kicks atrociously.
He wants to be a professional footballer and does that when the game is on the line.
I fear those two kicks could terminate his football career.
I hope he gets another chance but with injured players coming back into the team he could be terminal.
I have read some s*** on this site but this just takes the cake!!!!! He is a 22 yo with 11 games to his name and on obviously clearly hampered by a leg injury and you think missing two set shots will get him delisted!!! I guarantee you, the way he played when moved forward will have won him a whole new level of respect and admiration at the club and he will not be going anywhere soon
Has he seriously only played 11 games!!!??
Talk about underdevelopment. Would much rather have pumped 20 more game into him over the last 2 years then what we’ve done with Newnes and Weller.

Agreed, he is a beautiful kick, super quick, tough as nails and can play all over the ground. He should be played week in week out along with Paton
White did really well up forward. Really surprising. He read the ball well, marked well and pressure was good even though he was badly injured. Reminds me of Finlayson from GWS, probably worth another try up forward when not injured.

Shouldn't of been on the ground if he had an injury so debilitating that it caused him to miss successive 15 metre set shots on a minimal angles.
We needed him to keep playing for the mid rotations due to the heat. So he done well.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
Was a forward in his underage years & quite good but we seem to want to turn everyone into a HBF,we have a possible 14 Hbf on our list time to move some around!
Considering he was on one leg for the majority of the game, thought he was good. He's got good hands and his body work.was good. He actually looked pretty dangerous up forward. I'm tipping if he wasnt trying to kick off a bad leg, he would have nailed one of those goals and we'd all be pretty wrapped with him. If he misses this week then he comes in the week after regardless. Kid has got something and we need to see him on the park.

Agree, is a beautiful kick when both his legs are healthy. Both those misses were identical which shows the effect the injury had on his kicking. Love the kid presented and contested even when lame.
Also agree with above that both White and Paton should be part of our backline for the future. The fact White looked at home in the forward line is a bonus for flexibility.
Whenever we bring in a new player - or almost always - we play them as a forward, no matter what they've been doing at Sandy. Is it so they can get used to the pace of the game without making a major c**k-up in the back half that might (a) cost us a goal and (b) destroy their confidence? Seems to me there must be a reason - it can't be that we're the only ones who know what position they usually play.
I'm guessing you are referring to Hind as White started back and ended up forward through circumstance / injury, to allow rotations.
I actually saw merit in playing Hind forward because we omitted our supposed pressure players in Long & Young. Hind did an excellent job in that respect. I hope he holds his place.
I do understand your sentiments though, it has been a feature of this years selections.
