Matty White is entering his 7th year.
What are your expectations for Whitey this year and what would he need to do to survive past 2012?

I'm expecting a lot of football in the 2's.
Could play a role as a sub but turns the ball over too often.
The best player in the AFL at running off to the bench when being interchanged.
:congrats
-
Unless a miracle happens he will be gonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
-
Not even sure how he can push into the side if he some how turns his game up a gear. I reckon will be among the next of the scalpings.

What do you do with this guy, looks and moves like he could be and do anything but really lets himself down a lot. Is one of the fastest runners in the comp, has good size but gee he just doesnt seem to get into the right position or deliver the ball when he gets it.
Honestly had a great game round one last year against Yarren I think, shut him down completely. Needs to play that role a bit more and attack, kick goals and set up a bit more play, even get the ball into the forwards at pace.
Who knows, this could be his year.... :thumbsup

22 games at Coburg + delist
-
Think he will play quite a few games as a defensive forward
In all honesty I think he and King will be fighting for the same spot
-
The lad is a tiger thru and thru. he brings so much passion to the side and hopefully its getting infectious around the club.. He will always have my respect even if he doesnt play many more games, he has given 110% maybe more to do his best for the club he loves.. :bow
:gotigers

Massive year for Matty.
Fighting for his survival. He's a Tiger through and through so I hope he makes it but think he's going to struggle.

I'll have a crack and say that White, Connors, Tuck, McGuane, Moore, Post, Webberley and Graham are all going to struggle to get a game and stay on the list at this season's end.

Agree with these delistings apart from Post.

I'm expecting him to have another year of being a below average player.

lol 7 yrs its the standard rfc contract no matter how mediocre ones been.

White's biggest problem has been that in all the time he's been at Richmond, he hasn't been able to make the transition to anything other than a role player. He really needed to put pressure on the onballers we have had a the club but certainly isn't being done any favours there with the talent we have in those positions. He's pretty handy as a defensive forward but the club will be after better options going forward.
The positive side of Matt is that he's an honest footballer, who does his utmost best and is no doubt a great clubman but unfortunately for him he's never really been quite good enough to make a genuine impact.

Increase his trade value to a 4th round pick.

White's fight
By Paul Daffey
Fri 17 Feb, 2012
RICHMOND midfielder and small forward Matt White is known for his speed, but he will want to get on his bike if he's to save his spot on the Tigers' list.
The 25-year-old is in the last year of his contract. With so many young players coming through, he knows he must perform this season if he's to remain at the club.
He's up for the challenge. He says he's had his biggest summer in the gym. He's hoping for an injury-free season.
"It's just pretty much go out there and have a crack," White told afl.com.au after a training session at Punt Rd.
The pacy Tiger had a forgettable season in 2011. He broke his ribs and strained medial ligaments. His fight with injuries led to him being dropped.
The saving light was that selectors had enough faith to pick him in the final game of the season, against North Melbourne. White said he played all right. It gave him hope.
"I've got plenty more left in me," he said. "Whether it's in the midfield or forward or wherever, I'll be giving 100 per cent all year."
White is hoping to embark on a traineeship with the fire brigade. More immediately, he wants to regain his place in the Tigers' team. He wants to add to his 82 games and 39 goals.
"I'm fighting fit," he said. "I've got no issues. I'm flying again."
