New RFC Ruckman
« on: July 30, 2012, 12:52:57 AM »
On the TV in the background is the Mens Volleyball.. some 23 year old giant @ 212cm just dominanting...

http://www.avf.org.au/index.php?id=228

Sign this bloke up lol, apparently has a Vertical Leap of around 90cm, bigger than Nic Nat and at 212cm is taller than Sandilands.

At that size why the hell would you play Volleyball.

Would be an upgrade on the 3 spuds that wouldn't carry I.Marics bags.
Go Tigers!

Volley Ball players are not generally noted for their strength and endurance but if he ticks those boxes then sign him up!

What do you guys think of Jesse White at the swans?

Anyone think he's worth looking at?

White is a spud, but you would rookie this Edgar bloke just off his size.

Has talent and great mobility. Doesn't get a kick though

Can play forward or ruck. Don't you think he'd be a better back up for Maric or TV if they needed a rest or got injured?
Hes got to be an improvement on the spuds we got waiting at Coburg.
And you'd think he'd come cheap.
What do you reckon?

sydney dont let too many worthwhile slip through their nets.

it's a bit like the fish that john west reject.

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Is he anything like Maric? Because that is the prototype.

His averages stack up alright next to Maric prior to this year ofcoarse.
Maric came from a good club with good culture and White comes from a club with excellent culture. Both have had limited opportunities at their respective clubs.

Some didn't think Maric was a good decision either.

Nothing like Maric. White is quick and has pretty good skills. Plays mostly as a forward and a bit in the ruck (like Vickery). White has run his race at Sydney I would think...doesn't fill a need at Richmond but he might get another go somewhere else.

Not saying he's as good as Maric but surely he's a better backup then what we've already got.
He'd also be a better option as a fill in if anything happens to vickery.
He's still young and would be a cheap option coming from a top club with limited opportunity.
