Spencer White
Just watched him play for the first time. Very exciting prospect. Run and carry while bouncing was amazing. With an extra 5 to 10 kegs this kid could be awesome. Great hands too. Not sure about his kicking. Seems to poke at the pill a bit. Could have kicked 5 or 6 today. Future looks bright. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: Spencer White
Lot to be excited about.
White does look a bit like Buddy with his run and carry, but lets not put too much expectation on the kid.
I like the way the Zebra's went about ti today. Look very very fit with a fair bit of toe.
Really liked Hickey's game. Milera was a very damaging small forward however the Tigers put on very little pressure go into their defensive fifty.
Sipposs had a nice game, as did Dunnell. Shenton certainly has some toe and with the lack of pressure looked the good.
All in all the kids certainly went OK.
Couple them with Lee, Saunders, Murdoch, Newnes and Wright and we are lookig at the makings of a pretty decent outfit in the next couple of years.

Re: Spencer White
We need two more drafts and trading etc to assemble the next lot.
Some exciting 'prospects'.
Minchington and Lever look likely prospects.

Re: Spencer White
I'd rather see White at AFL level than Kosi these days.
I know he's a bit too slight at the moment, and we don't want to rush him in and ruin him, but the INSTANT that he's ready.....

BUT, unlike Tommy Walsh, this kid looked like he understood the game and instinctively ran to dangerous places.
He hasn't got any strength as yet so he was marking the footy because of footy smarts/ability rather than just trough sheer size advantage.
And he is deceptively quick for a guy his size. I'm not sure exactly how tall he is (I'd guess around the 190-193cm mark), but he plays like a tall with the ability to run away from any tall defender.

Re: Spencer White
He was playing in a team that had 45 scoring shots..... Daniel Archer would have kicked a bag!
But the boy has some unique attributes and special tricks..... That is exciting. His speed is something else...
In saying that, Terry Milera looked like Darren Jarman at that level.... He is possibly two levels above VFL.
Stanley, Riewoldt, White, Gilbert.... There are some really exciting tall athletes there.

If he had Tommy Walshs body he would be in our seniors.kimberly saint wrote:Was he really that good today , or are we scratching up another tommy walsh.

The kid has a stack of skill, has paced and is very exciting.
But he is only 18 and has a HUGE way to go. We cant look for saviours and as someone else said we dont want to Jack Watts him and ruin him.
Let him learn his trade, maybe a few games in the seniors for a taste, but lets make sure it is done right. Because if it is, we may have something pretty good in the next few years.

So true. Would be interesting to see the kid under some extreme pressure. Milera cracked last week and looked like Daicos today. No pressure, especially the last quarter running against a gale.
However the positive is that the Zebs looked very fit, which you would expect from a team chock a bloc full of AFL listed players.

Re: Spencer White
He will get games if he keeps playing well.
He has impressice skills and he can jump. His vert leap is crazy.

Re: Spencer White
Hopefully we'll see it up on Youtube during the week.felix wrote:Any footage of that goal he kicked that had the commontators were raving about .
But this is pretty much how it unfolded....
Webster was kicking out from a point, and played on. Managed to side step the man on the mark really nicely and kicked it long to the broadcast side wing - a huge kick. Most of the players were sitting between 40m and 60m out from goal, and this kick cleared the lot of them. We were kicking into the wind, but the breeze was diagonal across the ground heading towards this side of the ground.
White was side by side with his opponent as the ball was coming in. The wind got underneath it as the Werribee player attacked the ball, but White read the ball much better. He turned quickly and marked the ball going with the flight, and has daylight between him and the goals. This is still on the wing, pretty much in front of the interchange gates.
White took off, and there was plenty of Buddy about him. Long steps, high knee lift, and the pulled up socks. Took 4 fairly unconvincing bounces (just a strange looking style) and drilled a low ball straight through the middle from about 30m out. Nothing really stopping him running in further, but he looked beatifully balanced and confident as he slotted it. Theres a goal in his "draft prospects" video that pretty similar actually.
And the funny thing was that the point he kicked in the last quarter was just as impressive. Same sort of thing but with a lot more traffic about, just shanked the kick under more pressure.

Re: Spencer White
He's a lot taller than 190 to 193
Like roo the higher ball drop means he will always have a bit of risk in his kicking
Same with buddy. Even buddy wasn't that great at 18.
But looks like he has some serious talent to work with

Re: Spencer White
According to the Saints website he's 196cm and 84 kg. So some filling out to do. But ......that's enough height to develop into a gorilla forward. And if he's quick too.....a lot to look forward to with him.Con Gorozidis wrote:He's a lot taller than 190 to 193

Re: Spencer White
Mate, I saw this guy play today, albeit on tv. Do you remember Buddy's goal against Essendon in 2010 where he galloped along the wing and casually slotted a massive goal from outside 50? Well, White did that today.kimberly saint wrote:Was he really that good today , or are we scratching up another tommy walsh.

He is going to be a player, raking left foot on him.
