Title: Matty White
Post by: mightytiges on June 04, 2006, 12:47:11 AM
What did we think of Matty White's debut?

Pretty promising I thought. Not a heap of possies but not bad for a first gamer (8 kicks, 1 hb) and what he did was solid and he hit his targets. A great goal too.

Terry likes to give newbies more than one game and going on tonight's efforts he's most likely earnt a game next week also.

Matty White interview on Club Corner

* Told Wednesday arvo in front of the group he was debuting. Thought he may have been a chance with Lids and Krak going down.

* Started on the bench then got his first run on the wing couple of minutes near the end of first quarter. Went on Heath Black initially then onto McManus. Picked up the pace of the game pretty quickly. Playing the NAB Cup helped him get use to the pace.

* Will always remember his first goal. Couldn't believe it through and it was great how the boys came up to him.

* Loss still hurts even though he was excited about his first game. We were up 15 points and then a couple of decisions didn't go our way.

* Trained with Richmond for 2 weeks prior to the National draft and there was talk about him being picked up in the rookie draft. Spoke to a few other clubs but ended up getting picked up in the PSD.

* Lids and Krak touch and go to play os not sure if he'll play this week.

It was mentioned at training today that apparently Terry really loves the way White goes about things. That he could become something special. He's bloody quick.

How did we judge Matty White's game last night?

He'll get a wrap on the knuckles for the 3 goal costing errors (missed goal on the run, running too far and poor short pass across ground) but on the flip side he was one of the few Tigers who tried to break the lines and get some flow into our game albeit not always successfully.

he was poor last night, but far better than rodan and tiv

You're becoming pathetic, X.
Tiv had a game to forget, agreed.
Thought Rodan did better than some - 8 tackles showed a bit more desperation than someone who you admire for the same criteria.

I just don't see why you bring these players up every time as if they were the litmus test for our "total" performance every week.

I thought Matty White did okay actually - he made some errors - but I just like the way he goes about it.  He's gonna be good, IMO.

He was poor but so were about 18 others on the night. I do like his attitude in terms of running the lines. Inexperience cost him last night. He should get better with more games.

I was at the game and just love the way White was going about it. He wasn't giving any of the Swans an easy time.

The runnning too far was similar to Hall's a few weeks back where he had a three or four false starts behind the mark and then took off. Seems the umps are counting the distance travelled in the false starts.

From what I saw of him on Saturday night I would prefer him in the team before quite a few of his teammates

matty white has a red hot go, thats all you could ask for really. I'd say terry is over the moon with Matty's development so far. He's quite ahead at this stage id say.

What about Tiga, X, when he put facts and figures in your face and you totally dismissed them and called him an idiot.
Instead of agreeing with him or arguing the point, you went for the man.
So don't start crying now okay.
Title: Re: Matty White
Post by: Moi on July 24, 2006, 03:00:39 PM
For what it's worth, X, I don't think either Tiv or Krak will be there next year - don't think either of them are worth keeping.
You can debate that all you like, I really don't care.

There are some people in high places within the football dept that believe that white is travelling all right, very happy with the way he is comming along regardless of the mistakes he made on Saturday night. ;)

Still got a lot to learn.

i thought i was an open book, and u could see str8 through me???
if thats the case, u dont know me very well, as im the last person u will find crying on this earth!!
whether or  not i went 4 the man re/ tiga, thats no concern of urs, thats b/w me and tiga. but as i said, have i ever personally attcked you, u say i started it, i say, i didnt, but if you want me too, just say the word and i guarantee i wont be the one reaching 4 the kleenex
Title: Re: Matty White
Post by: Moi on July 24, 2006, 07:19:56 PM
When did i attack you lol
Pretty sensitive if you get offended by pathetic lol
Pathetic in the fact that everything Krak does is fantastic - even if he's had the worst night.  And a kid like Rodan who is having a go trying to save his own career was worse than Krak.  Give me a break.  I reckon they broke even - both pretty ordinary.  At least he had the excuse that it was his first game back in the team after a long time coming back.  He earned his position in the team according to those who go and see Coburg, unlike some who just chuck in a good game once every six weeks and reckons he's conned enough people to warrant another six.
Put a rider on your posts that you luv Krak and you hate anyone that is challenging for his position in the team.
Glad you liked Matty White, seems he at least has a future at the club unlike some that have been there for yonks and going absolutely nowhere.

Didn't read it properly - very hard to read the same garbage so i had turned off lol
X, i ain't complaining - I can give as good as you can and i don't believe I've had to resort to saying, oh no, "X is attacking me" lol

The subject is getting boring though for those who are reading both our garbage, so I'll call a truce and agree to disagree on just about everything lol

I thought Matty's effort on Saturday night was commendable and Sugars responce to the overrun was very captainlike and worthy of the No.17

So do i Mopsy.  Even though he ran too far, was great to see him running and taking them all on.  Just something about him - probably his physique - he looks like he's gonna have the physique of a Voss and after having stick thin blokes like Fiora on our list, he just looks promising.

Rainsey got caught a few times earlier in the year taking people on, Matty run a bit far but no-one was giving him anything and tried to make the play himself, good on him, I think he looks a player.
