I concede I am frustrsated with his kicking for goal under duress, but he was alright overall tonihgt. Watch closely some of his ruckwork which was actually quite good. He gave Wittsy a rest and was ore than ok. Hie kicked 2, and if at the start of the year we said he would average around that every game I think over 90% of fans would take that.

Needs to believe in himself. Just because you are on the 'G in front of 80,000 people doesn't mean that you have the confidence to get it right under enormous pressure. I hope he makes it, but he's not there yet and we cant afford too many like the last two weeks.

Oops on the wrong page. Didn't realise it was the Jess White circle jerk post?

The biggest failure is on field verbal leadership when the heat is on.
When White was lining for those goals both tonight and last week, NOT ONE senior player approached him whilst setting up for the shot, to help calm his mind or encourage him to stick to the processes.
FAIL.

I agree. Works well for a big man. You need a second ruck in your side and I don't know if I like Witts or Grundy resting down forward when not rucking.

Yep, pass mark tonight. Given how woeful the kicking for goal was, bashing a guy who actually kicked more goals than points would be pretty dumb.

Jesse was a better kick for goal than cloke and fasolo tonight, you can take that one too the bank. !

Considering the opposition was what is now a top 4 side makes h`is game even more credible i guess

2 mins to go, marked on the 50, would of loved to see him go back and have a roost, I reckon he could of made the distance.

Lacks the belief

That is a rather sweeping generalization.

14 touches, 6 marks, 2 goals and assisted in the ruck. All of it against the best organised backline in the league.
But everyone just remembers that goal he should have kicked.
Missed the same against Freo but nobody talks about the four out of bounds on the full in the last qtr when you just hand the ball back to the Dockers.

Doesn't matter what White does, he will always be maligned.
Kurt Tippett maybe ? Yeah, right.
