Title: Yeah or Neah: 35. Matthew White
Post by: one-eyed on September 13, 2007, 05:37:47 PM

The next "Yeah or Neah" is Matty White.

Matty was picked up in the 2005 Preseason Draft to avoid missing out on him in the rookie draft. He played 11 games in his debut year averaging 11 disposals including playing the final 10 matches of the year in a row. Played 7 games in 2007 (at 8 avg disp), the last being round 14, with the rest of the season at Coburg.

Is Matty trade bait or should he be kept?

He's a keeper.

Absolutely.

Matty has stagnated in his second year but I think he's safe. 2008 will be make or break.

Would rather keep Hartigan.

Keeper for me -

His pace and running ability (preferably not to the bench all the time ;D) is the keeper sealer for mine

Wouldn't think he would be trade bait at this stage - Another year.

Apart from one turnover I thought today's game was one of Matty's best.  Hopefully he can have a big preseason and bring that running through the lines and hard chasing and tackling to AFL level.
