He isn't Richo but couldn't hurt by putting him on the wing and say "Run Forest Run"!!

Always thought he looked far better in the ruck... not so much for his ruck work but you could see him come alive when he's around the ball more. Just what I saw.... don't mind the idea. Now that Harry is gone I wonder if that spot opens up .... or does it get taken by Young (yeah I know half on here think he sucks - politely... I disagree)!!

Think C Young gets a bad rap, probably stems from the Gold Coast and the 2012 GF fumble. He is what he is, a modern day line breaking nice kick whom has a place in our 22

Agree, could be the making of him to have midfield rotations in spots other than ruck.

There's a long list of potential condidates to slot onto a wing. Think Marsh, Karnezis, Freeman, Seedsman, Young, Varcoe, Crisp, Broomhead, Armstrong, Dwyer, Oxley, Langdon, Sinclair, as well DeGoey, Maynard and Goodyear. Would like to see White given a crack but let's see who puts their hand up over preseason.

Regardless of what position he plays, we are bound to be too top heavy if we play Witts, Grundy and White along with Reid, Cloke, Brown or Keeffe.

Looks like Tarzan and plays like Jane.
At Sydney he played a good game every 4
or 5 weeks.
At Collingwood he played a good game every
4 or 5 weeks.
Needs to step up and play hungry and stop
going missing in action.
Whether he plays on the wing or anywhere
he needs to show more heart and belief.
Otherwise .......

I think he plays much better footy when on ball.
I dont mind the wing idea. He has the power and endurance and certainly dosent play like Jane when he is around the ground.
Seems to withdraw a bit at times as a forward.

I wonder how he would go as a Gibson type playing back and basically punching anything in the air (preferably Hawkins/Buddy etc) but more-so the footy. Has the pace to make ground well and the leap to get his fist to the ball, but would need some intense work on defensive nouse. Taz was able to make the change amazingly well.

Played a VFL game at CHB against the Northern Blues (v Waite and Watson) and while he didn't look completely out of place, it was far from natural for him. Gibson and Taz were both also very good marks which isn't one of White's strengths.

If he doesnt harden up strap him onto a wing of a 747 to anywhere else. For safety reasons put Sinkers on the other one.

White hasn't got the tank to play as a mid.
