he was really bloody good.
I was really cut when he left. Really cut. Thought he was a good ruckman, but he didn't do a lot at West Coast.
Other than win a premiership! Very sorry to see him go.
LOL - he did too. I forgot that...
Anyway, his career definitely peaked with us. He had three excellent years here.
In 1990, he polled 9 Brownlow votes. Impressive.
He trailed off a little at WCE, but that was probably due to age.

I would take White as a replacement for Gardiner. White's ruckwork isnt that crash hot however his work around the ground is great. He should have been playing for us from the start instead of going from Southern U18s to Freo.
You need to post more often. Your common sense and insight is appreciated.
All excellent points.
IMO, we've got three spots for ruckman over the age of 24.
Out of King, White, Gardiner and Rix - King and White are walk ups. Rix is durable, but so am I. Gardiner has talent and is capable at this level, so that means the end of Rix for mine.
We haven't needed him this year and we don't need him from here on in. I hope we get White, and then get some young rucks in the draft.
To those suggesting Warnock....
Do you actually realise that while White would cost about $50,000 a year, Warnock would cost closer to $350,000 - a shitload of draft picks? Do people understand that?
