Matty White [merged]

Had a blinder coming on as sub today, 2 goals and a number of possessions, looked super quick in comparison to our guys.

[dwaino]

That's how he often looked coming on for us last year. We don't have a replacement for him yet which sucks.

[tony_montana]

Good on him, they are on fire atm, look really strong, fit and fast. 3rd youngest list in the comp too.

Banfield is his replacement but he can't get anywhere as a rookie.

Hence we don't have a replacement

Woeful decision to throw money at conca, ultimately squeezing white out of the pic.

As stated. We have no replacement.
Clever list management, fellas.

[flea03]

conca will be a gun, had a major hammy op

where we messed up was keeping foley

[Andyy]

Foley for 3 years yeah? FFS...

Should have kept Whitey even if he was permanent sub...

[bojangles17]

He s a perfect sub whitey  a classic game of his where he ll chalk up 9-10 possies and kick a couple in a half, the weird thing is give him a full game and he ll generally only ever get 2 or 3 possies more than that, 

[Penelope]

Club wasnt prepared to give the length of contract that port were. it was not  so much to do with money, they just weren't prepared to give an extended contract and put with with claws bitching for said period of time.

[Andyy]

Foley 3 years.

Whitey 1 year.

Laughable. Whitey was at least tough, quick and good by foot. Foley used to be all those things. And White tried hard. Richmond supporter who just wanted the club to win...

[bojangles17]

Reality was whitey had one good year in his 8 at RFC and is oft plagued by dodgy hammies, we'd be derelict offering a player with a cv like that 3 years

[cub]

Didn't white leave because he didn't want to be a sub ffs get it right dudes

Incorrect. He wanted a 3 year contract but probably would have accepted 2 - the club was only prepared to give him 1.

THAT IS NOT CORRECT OR EVEN RELEVANT. Whoops again i apologise for caps on.
There are  5 or 6 sides whos overall list age is younger than ports not sure cant be bothered looking it up. theres another 7 to 10 sides including port,  again dont have the figures in front of me,who are all aged 23 yrs and so many days. its neither here nor there. who

what is relevant is the age of the players who will play the majority of games. to me about 25 players at all clubs will play more than half the games work out the age of these players. i bet ports top 25 are up there with most other clubs.
it really is a fallacy that most players under 22 yrs of age impact clubs seasons. the simple truth is most are in early development with no guarantee of them making it. trhe thing these players do do is impact the overall age of the list though.
