“I hope I left the place on good terms. It was a decision for me to come and play some more footy and it's working for me

Was really wasted at Richmond. He came to the club same year as Edwards.  Imagine if he had the same opportunities.
White was drafted the year before Titch. He was picked in the PSD (which was called the 2006 PSD even though it was held in Dec. 2005).

He was the sole survivor from our shocking 2005 draft effort  :help:
ND: JON, Hughes, Casserley.
PSD: White
RD: A.Graham, Humm, C.Howat.

Gus Graham the best of that group and the one who should still be on our list.
Who isn't a fan of the thinking man's orange Tim Fleming?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

It's not that this dude is a superstar or anything.

But it poos me that all he wanted was a second year and we offered him one.

Guys like Grigg, Titch, Foley etc get thrown 2-3 year deals like its nothing.


He's a line-breaker and we need somebody who can run like that.
We had to match a three year 1mn deal, don't re write history  ::)

Agree, don't re-write history, which you've just done.

He would have settled with two years.  I know you know the Whites WP but a good friend knows his parents very well.  They told him he would have accepted two years from the Tiges to stay…..

Exactly, thanks for beating me too it. Port probably paying him $1mil for 3 years. He probably would have stayed at Richmond for $400-500k for 2 years.

He wanted to stay, just with a second year. Diehard Richmond supporter and family too.

So we let him go and signed up blokes like foley, Titch and Grigg on multiple year deals instead. Titch played well at least.

I think Bo is right in the sense if we wanted to keep him but he wanted to leave (he was restricted yes). But as others as said he doesn't have to accept their offer in the first place

Good pickup. 

That goal he kicked on the wing gets better and better with every viewing.  Absolutely burnt Morris off who is quick, bounced the ball at full speed and delivered a 50m goal from a tight angle after running from half back.  Should be goal of the year.

That goal was so good it almost made up for the other ninety or so minutes of poo he dished up

Highlight reel watchers seeing that would say " that White goes alright, why did they ever let him go"

Well the answer is he is poo
