Matty White cops 3 weeks from MRP [updated]

[one-eyed]

Didn't look good and Frawley had to be carried off by the trainers.

4 weeks - the head is sacrosanct.

Frawley's injury was caused by Reiwoldt, not White.  White's tackle will very possibly not get mentioned as the replays show him try and bump in the shoulder and that's where he contacts Frawley, albeit high on the shoulder.  The resulting rebound from the tackle into Jack's swinging arm is what knocked Frawley out, not White's bump.

Thank gawd for that! Frawleys pain aside.

White is actually likely to be in much more strife for a whack to the midriff of a Melb player in the last quarter (very Jackson-esque).  I can't remember the player but he went down holding his stomach like he was winded or something and it didn't look good on the replay.

This thread is an emotional roller-coaster! I'm going.

The sad reality is yesterday could be Matty's last AFL game if he gets rubbed out. Craig Cameron said on the radio before the game that Whitey was playing for his career.

Luke Tapcott who also went off, me thinks he played like it was his last hurrah - no matter what
Never seen him hurt a fly until yesterday.

Liked Matty's game but unfortunately he is slowing up.

[Jackstar is back again]

We played a bottom 4 team yesterday
Think Matt's last year

[Hellenic Tiger]

Matt's going to have a 2 week holiday and unfortunantely for him he's goneski next year.

I don't understand why Matty did this.. gets one of very few chances this year and just blows it. The contact was obviously intentional. Thought he would have a cracker and keep a permanent position in the team but wasn't the case 

[bojangles17]

watched the incident with frawley and he makes contact with shoulder so should be ok with that one...didnt see the rib tickle on tapscott

Agree

But then again at the RFC Matty may have just got himself promoted to the leadership group
