White and Match-Winning is 2 Words I never thought I see in the Same Sentence

DTM, White is not my favourite player but he did kill that VFL game off with his brilliant first half. Credit where it's due, he was stunningly good, on the day.

Agree, and more importantly for White he actually clunked a few overhead contested marks which was his major issue.

Appreciate Dave's angst on the possible inclusion of White at the expense of Moore. Moore is the future but he's just not impacting yet, 5 games, 4 as a forward and he's managed 5 goals. Sadly, all those came in 1 game.

Didn't know half a game of footy in the VFL gets you a game back in the AFL. Meanwhile PK played four quarters of good footy but doesn't get a mention because everybody is looking for an excuse to bring White back and drop Moore.

That's a bit silly. My post was a response to DTM's lauding Moore's effort.

I am happy to see PK come in, too - but he's not going to play as a tall forward.

Also, I didn't say that White only played half a game - he was very good the whole game but he absolutely murdered them in the first half. He has that capability, at least at VFL level - he tore Geelong apart in the VFL game down at Kardinia Park last season: on that occasion, his last quarter was nothing short of breathtaking.

As I've said elsewhere, he's not my favourite player but if you assess his VFL game fairly, it's difficult to see how he could be left out this week and Moore retained - that's what the discussion was about.

Karnezis was playing a role and doing things I don't think he's capable of at senior level. Maybe he gets picked as a sub, but I'm not high on him. VFL form is always to be viewed sceptically.

We left a glaring hole in our team last week by playing no second ruck. White or Witts needs need to play next week if we are serious about competing. Moore is the obvious out, but we could omit Marsh and move Moore to defense.

Watched the first half of the game on Saturday evening. Thought the umpiring was shocking and we couldn't get screwed much harder than that. Then watched the second half today.... Wow. Who was the manchild tearing us a new one? Unbelievable. Surely the umpiring bosses should be explaining themselves after such shite. So much inconsistency. So many bad decisions.

^^^ That might be right if the guy you'd be replacing had touched the ball to any useful effect in his previous two games against bottom-standard opponents. That is not the case, here - Moore will be a good player but, at the moment, the "Vacancy" sign is up at CHF.

And White was after all a surprise omission in the first place. He'd kicked 2.2 and given off a couple of others. There was something the coaches wanted him to work on which I assume was his contested marking and he was hitting those up on Saturday.

It was good enough to get Moore a debut.

Been strongly advocating PK get a game for weeks as have a few others. Not sure where you're coming from.
