As pointless as the Miller experiment.
Get off the Jesse White train Mr Tigra.
If anything I reckon White would have cost a lot more than pick 74 for a player that may or may not have an impact. Same with Aaron. If anything Aaron is certainly an upgrade on Graham so ultimately I have no problem. Aaron will be a depth player in the fwd line. 30-40 goals a year and Edwards will have done his job.
I first mentioned White on a ruck thread some time ago. It was blatantly obvious at the time Maric was getting tired and Vickery was injured.
What do you guys think of Jesse White at the swans?
Anyone think he's worth looking at?
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?
Nothing has changed as not many rate him very highly. But my thinking then is exactly the same as now. He's young, he's a ruck/forward, he's from a club with great culture and he'd be a good backup.
I got nothing against Edwards but he shouldn't be played for any reason other than
a)we are in the hunt for a finals birth
b)we have exhausted all other options.
If we play him for any other reason it would be a joke, pointless and stupid.
If the team is drafting well and the team is finally developing players properly with a dedicated development department, then I'd expect every other tall on the list to be played ahead of him.
With White it would be different because he's young enough and can fulfill 2 specific roles and it also adds to the club in terms of player competition which helps the development of the team as a whole.
With Edwards it's Miller all over again because as far as our team is placed in its progression up the ladder, he'll never be apart of our future premiership tilt.
