Poor old Damian (wheelie bin) Barrett is getting slow with the news these days  ;) ;D

I am looking forward to White playing next year, could be a real asset should he get it together. I thought he played one of his best game this year, the game he was reported in.

Greg isn't up to it. But he will be handy for Coburg for one more season

I hope he does too. I'm a fan and called for him to get a game this year. He just isn't good enough though unfortunately. He's the same player he was in 2008.

If my career was on the line as his apparently was in round 15 I would have played with intensity.
Pity for Greg White his performance are in cameos and he is very inconsistent.
Other than his pace he is just another below average player.

Who would be interested in trading for him? The club haven't extended it yet have they? We can't delist everyone so some of our average players stay (Whitey, McG and maybe Post + Graham and his contract)

Do you think Matty White is a better player than Shane Edwards, and given he was drafted before him, has more upside?
If so, on what basis do you say this and if not, why pot Shane-o and have blind faith in Matty?

It's from Damian Barrett nuff said.

He is just a depth player now. Would be top 30-35 now one would hope after trades and drafts.

Hopefully he won't see much senior footy but good luck to him if true about the extension.
hes not even a depth player.

he has never ever produced enough to deserve a game. a small mid  whos had 7 yrs who turns 26 in april. who does not get the ball just 10 possesions a game,  with poor skills and decision making. that makes him useless  for his age and type.  hes also played as a small forward and doesnt kick goals what role does he perform.
hes exactly like so many duds who have gone before him the odd good game and all is okay. i could go out and have a good game on the right day and im useless.

you want a depth player go and give a bloke like kyle martin a go tom sundberg sam dwyer and any amount of proven state league players who have the right skill sets and are athletically capable of the afl level.
with a bit of luck we not only get a depth player but players who lead and can maybe become decent consistent role players for richmond.
this bloke being a small should have well and truly established himself and clicked 4 or 5 yrs ago.

i have to chuckle at the attitude od f supporters who bring up f the club kept him so they must know something we dont so they think he can improve they must be right.
im sorry to say the club gets plenty wrong and everything about matt white.  type, age, experience, skills,  over all performance  and just about every stat you can think of says they are wrong.
he is redundant hes not even depth because hes behind forwards  nahas, king, edwards edwards, knights martin  and just about every mid we have on the list.

in all honesty at age 26 after being in our system for 7 yrs and 80/90 odd games he will all of a sudden have to improve dramatically most areas of his game and miraculously become a consistent player who in all honesty thinks this will happen with his many deficiencies.
yes it was a mistake keeping white we sure as hell could use another pick around 50 or even later on a mature player who adds depth in an area we are lacking.there are plenty there who offer more than white.
surely as supporters we look at these things for ourselves and form our opininions based on them with out the need to go down the ignorant " oh the club kept him he must be okay.

Claw you are full of contradictions. You may as well put this exact same post in the Aaron Edwards thread.
Like your last paragraph for instance. Reads well.
In all honesty at age 29 after being in the system for years and 82 games he will all of a sudden sudden have to improve dramatically most areas of his game and miraculously become a consistent player who in all honesty thinks this will happen with his many deficiencies.


......I agree totally.
Facts are White, Edwards, Post, Miller, Mcguane, Fringe player hacks that aren't good enough. Plain and simple.
The club that keeps giving.

Edwards is/was a much better player than White. They are completely different players anyway.
