Matty White [merged]

[one-eyed]

White decided to test the free agency market late last year after deciding his future no longer rested at Punt Road.

It was a tough decision – he loved the Tigers – but Power coach Ken Hinkley offered the 26-year-old greater opportunity and White made the move.

"As much as I loved Richmond and it'd be nice to still be there playing with the boys and helping out the team, I didn't see myself playing a lot of footy there.

Just reading Bout this game on the afl website, ......."A goal to Matt White in the first 2 mins of the final quarter wrestled back the lead for port"......... 

Its amazing what other clubs can do with our players, should send grigg and co over there for pre season next next year . Will come back a champ

[Rampstar]

RFC is a joke when it comes to development and rebuilding. Port Adelaide have gone right past us in terms of development. Its shameful that after 34 years we still cant fire a shot and other clubs go right past us at a rate of knots. Its a deadset disgrace.

he was showing some really strong signs last season and played some great cameos. Not a big surprise he's gone on with it, we should have kept this bloke ahead of a fair few others. Good luck to him, he often says "I didn't see myself playing much footy there" so he obviously felt the coaching staff didn't really rate him

They finally go pave hm a go last season and we got the rewards, port are giving him a massive opportunity and aren't they are being rewarded in spades

IMHO it's an indictment on the club that they let him go without giving much of a yelp.

They can blame FA (like Dimma did on "On the couch" but may be if they had worked a bit harder and showed some intent in wanting to keep him.... Then things might be different

That's the telling remark, and was prob hammered home in the RFC side of contract negotiations that he was by no means a lock in the current side , he has gone on and taken his game up a notch, avg 15-20 possies and 2 G a game is about a 25% improvement on his breakout year!,  unusual to be seeing such improvement at 27yo....good luck to him

we cant even develop first round picks (jack, Dusty) how could we have any chance with White.

Yes it is unusual, tell me the last 27 yo that took 8 or so years to knock up 100 games go on and raise his game to another level, they invariably flop, be it form or fitness/injury, the footy graveyard is absolutely full of them. Knights is a perfect example , Clinton young , Quentin lynch, mark Williams , bris have had a heap of them,

Whitey should be on the phone to the Tigers with some port training secrets
