Matty White [merged]

[3rogerd]

at least he chases unlike someone else.

What was pleasing to me was seeing Whitey more defensive efforts from him yesterday. Some crucial spoils and tackles running from behind.

You want more defensive efforts out of the guy running 4th for tackles?

Whitey is 4th for tackles while still being:
8th for inside 50's
8th for centre clearances
and 2nd for goal assists.

He is probably our most effective defensive players while still being one of most attacking players.

Maybe I am getting your post wrong MT but Whitey's defensive efforts are just what some of our higher profile young guns need to emulate.

Great Speed. Can Tackle

Wing/ Back Pocket/Forward Pocket/Centre/Half Forward/Half Back - any of those positions.

[Ekto]

He is only 22 and has the drive and passion to work on any deficiencies.

Will be a long term player for us.

 

I am sure that Whitey doesn't turn 22 until 2009.

A gem....

Nah I only meant when compared to his past couple of games where he was a bit quiet IMO. Overall he's stepped up this year for that very reason of using his pace both ways.

Another solid game from Whitey  .

Matty White plays his 50th game this week  .

[Judge Roughneck]

best player from 2005 draft...

hughes, JON, Casserly ...

I think Matty has developed Rainesy's problem in the last couple of games. Running too far into trouble thinking he can dodge opponents and then dishing off to flat footed teammates who are under the hammer  . Needs a spell at Coburg to sort things out.

[Infamy]

Seems to have gone backwards since Rawlings took over
Although his form drop also coincides with his hamstring injury
Would like to see how he goes under a good coach

[blaisee]

deserves his own thread on todays game

Not a mathew white fan, but you have respect a guy that shows that much ticker.

In the context of the game at that time that goal was a career highlight, absolutely sensational

[Francois Jackson]

ripper goal

must play out the season.

can play

[Hellenic Tiger]

Sometimes needs to slow down and assess rather than put the head down and charge like a bull without looking around him. Great goal in the last though.

Good on Whitey saving his footy career over the past 6-7 weeks. The only thing that's gone wrong in that time for Matty is Shane Edwards poking him in the eye high-5ing  . Matty's left eye was swollen and closed shut apparently yesterday.
