They had one option to, and that was to trade him for pick 2 a couple of years back.  EVEN if we didn't require a rebuild we were stupid to not take it.  The fact that we did require a rebuild but were too arrogant to notice it back then and make the trade is the reason why we are paying the ultimate price now and are behind clubs like Melbourne and St Kilda.

Must have struggled with the Captaincy.... when's that being announced again?

The only thing that irritated me slightly last night was the ease at which some of our guys got stepped around.

So many guys overcommitted.

Piss poor tackle in the last from Everitt in the last, when he had the guy on toast.

And let's not forget him hearing the footsteps in the first quarter!

Another bloke that stood out as not being up to it was Simon White. Just cannot move the ball on quickly at all, must go back and take his full amount of time and bomb along the boundary, no wonder he looked okay under Mick, will be exposed this year.

reckon White is a liability down back but has real potential as a third tall in F50.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

White is a hacker who won't die wondering and tries to do what is asked.

His only problem is that he is not quite good enough to be anything but a decent contributer at best.

At worst he can be a liability.

Lucky we are rebuilding and in 2 years time he wont be getting a game but for the minute we need him.

I think 1AW will be the first choice third tall forward FB, but we'll have to see how he goes.

In a nutshell. It's surprising as he seems to have decent kicking skills.

First time with the new game plan and White may have just forgotten the script.  If he doesn't get with the program he'll have Josh Fraser to contend with.

I'll cut White some slack, Kerridge as well for his sloppy disposal and any others that appeared hesitant or confused.

It's a new game plan and the slow decision making, getting pinged with the ball(Whiley) and disposal clangers can be a symptom of that slight moment when you are not sure what you are supposed to be doing, or for that matter the bloke who was supposed to be receiving doesn't know what he was supposed to be doing.

It's not always the ball carriers fault! ;)
