I can't believe were giving up on White! Buckley gets the benefit of the doubt despite the worlds first 3 year injury run, but White doesn't! If Reid had played all year White would've fired, but that didnt happen. The kid played an absolute blinder in his last Sydney game, easily best on ground for mine, then he moves to Collingwood and kicks 5 in his first showing. Now, after a year in the most injured, worst led, lowest morale side in the game we're ready to scrap him.
And why are we getting Clark? Everyone said only a side looking at a flag challenge in the next year or two would want him. That sure as hell ain't us, unless Eddie and Bomber are having secret chats!

Who said we are Giving up on White?
Cloke,White and Clark could be our Forward Line. 1 of Clark or White could play as the 2nd Ruckman.
Though I rather play both Witts and Grundy
Also Reid can go back to CHB where he was an All-Australian

Friendly relations, not as acute as described by media, that H deserves to have a rejuvenated career, that in this day & age it is less common for a player over so many career games to be at one club. (In short, if the right deal is struck he's gone).
This was said with the admission that Collingwood basically want Clark & have seen him on 2-3 occasions & are doing their due diligence. |
Reports that Clark is already training at Westpac Center

White could make a good 3rd tall. 2 decent talls playing well may well open up the world for him.
I think Clarke would be a good addition. Makes for a whole collection of people running through the forward line and the ruck.

White would definitely be suited as a third tall if Cloke and Clark were in the same forward line.
I'm strongly in favour of going after Clark if he isn't held back by a debilitating foot injury that he had a few years ago and he's managing his personal issues quite well. He's a huge talent when on song.

Yet another rant filled with negativity and nothing constructive.
Well done to DTM on actually having some perspective on how Clarke makes our team stronger. 35forever could learn from you. |

Well said Dave,
Also, thinking outside the box a bit, white could also play wing or midfield. He's quick, has a tank and has skills.
Remember that these days the only time the players are in their positions is when there's a centre bounce, the rest of the time it's a mad free for all.

Must admit, I have given up on White. Hope he proves me wrong but just not a good footballer, IMO. Perhaps CHB where the forward could keep him in the game but really, I think we stuffed up giving him 3 years.

We could always trade him to Carlton.  |

At Sydney White had Tippett, Goodes, Reid et alia to act as a foil.
This year he's pretty much had Cloke only as a tall alternative.
He's not the messiah, but he could be a handy third option if he gets to spend some time with the alternate players and get working together.

Really? Which reports DTM?
Perhaps assessing him as part of the due diligence?
