Brandon White to debut

Post: # 1633365Post damienc »

Really, really, really happy for the kid.

I rate him as a future defender.

Great news for him and the footy club.

Whichever way it goes he will be the better for having a taste of senior footy.

Also watch the video of how Richo broke the news to the kid. Our coach is a class act.

Go Brandon !!!!

Hope he has a belter of a first game.

Love this kid. Hard as. Skilled too. Still building his body. Rebounding defender who can also play wing. Big part of our future success.

Saw him earlier in the season (Sandringham vs Casey). Our midfield was trounced that day, but he along with McKenzie were very prominent playing as rebounding half backs.
Has everything --- just needs another 5kg of muscle (same thing could be said of Wright and McKenzie).

Yet lack a crucial 2nd tall. Goddard if/when he comes on maybe better suited to take the role of 3rd tall eventually replacing Gilbert? Possibly a Marchbank/Tomilinson/similar wouldn't hurt

Also trusted with the kicking out, which is a sign the coach has faith. Of course we have had our struggles in that area, and he did kick one directly to the oppositio ( but well outside 50), but he went at it hard and looked totally at home. Pleasing.

Good skills will be a really good player. Looks like a steal at pick 40.

Solid debut, if he keeps progressing can become a regular

Put in a big pre season add about 5Kg and we have a keeper, great skill base a lot to like.

Team reaction to his first goal was magnificent to watch - of course any team would react that way but the goal was a beauty - grabbed it outside 50 and he had no hesitation in taking the shot on - magic moment

The other nice thing about that goal was that he received the ball from a hack kick out of the pack from that "beast mode" tool Mathieson - who a few Saints followers were hoping would last to our 2nd (3rd round) pick

Not that it mattered that he didn't last ..... because we would have gone White anyway :twisted:

Agree- so glad we did not pick up Mathieson. His tactic to win free high kicks is an embarrassment . Perfect for the Spanish basketball team, but is a blight on the AFL. Some will say - win them any way you can,- but In my view is not the way our game should be played. Flog.
