Another ruckman in the Dees pipeline. The son of star Jeff White played in his premiership winning team on the Gold Coast,at 14 years and 6foot 3 inches sounds like he will have the size for a father/son pick in a few years.
Internet went into meltdown 10 minutes into 3rd quarter so missed everything ,tech just came and fixed up so will watch replay.
what was the outcome of toby greens tribunal appearance?
Well, Viney out for two weeks,dont think Simon will change much, Harmes to mid,Jones was best afield in the 2,s last week so a big chance of recall and the Weed in if Tom Mac doesnt get up.
At center bounces it seems that everybody wants to be an inside mid and we are getting done on the outside,big Max is good enough to get the tap 25met toward goal into the vacant area between half forward and the center, if its a planned move the mids only need a two step start and the first kick is into the scoring zone.
I seem to recall Spargo kicked 7 goals in one of his early games from the ball drop close to goal but now he seems to playing wider .
Its easier to clunk a goal from 30met than 50.
It is pretty clear that to be succesful a team needs multiple gun forwards ala Richmond,Eagles ,Bulldogs ,Cats etc.
Matters little having a gun backline if you cant score when you get the ball in your forward zone.
Problem being that gun forwards are like hens teeth and very expensive to get .
A criticism of my team (Demons) is that when the cherry does go forward our potential goalkickers are up the ground to far to effect the outcome.
Kozzie pickett was drafted to potentially be our (Eddie Betts) but he spends most of his time around the centre and wing.
