bit hard from my vantage point unless you want me to deal to some of our own. Laughing

Out of curiosity has Oxley ever played forward, he is tall, good kick and mark

Carlton are shit.

.....and I farkin' hate seeing them lead us in head to head encounters 125 to 120. It's narrowed in recent years but until the ledger favours us, and we beat them in a GF, my life as a Pies supporter will remain unfulfilled.

I feckin' hate these **nts

the lying cheating bastards still have one more flag than us, the one they stole off geelong in 95, by rorting and cheating the salary cap and draft. Until we equal them on premierships, I with you, my footy life will be unfulfilled, we need to win a sixteenth flag, and square the ledger. Exclamation

Whenever scum supporters go on about having more flags than us I always reply that their last flag brought 3 wooden spoons to their club which is more than we have. They quickly crawl back under the rocks they come out from.

I would like to see Witts and PK come into the seniors, in time - BUT based on what I saw at the ground on Sunday, I wouldn't expect either of them to take a senior spot this week (barring some injury we don't yet know about).

Thus, imo, White stays in because there is, just at the moment, no alternative screaming for inclusion. That said, his complete inability to read the play will continue to hurt us. 2 marks, neither contested and neither inside 50, no score, 9 disposals (3 of them "clangers"), 2 inside 50s and 2 frees against - these are not the stats of a genuine tall forward. He has played almost 100 games and these are fairly like his career averages (5.5 kicks and 4 handballs; 3.5 marks; 1 mark inside 50; 1 goal; 2 inside 50s; 2 tackles; 2 clangers; twice as many free against as frees for; a goal assist about every second game).

If he was playing his 3rd senior game, as Gault was, I would be looking at his potential but, in his 8th season in the AFL, he is doing pretty much what he has previously done. When he moves, White looks like he could be anything and he certainly has the physical attributes to dominate but I do not think it will ever happen. And don't expect him to step up this week, either - he hasn't kicked a goal in his last 5 outings against the Blooz.

I don't think he should be omitted this week, given the absence of alternatives but I don't think that people who would like to see him out of the side have "rocks in their heads". They are correct - unless something remarkable happens in Jesse White's career - and very, very soon - it is just a matter of when.
