Has been out since May 11 with the plate issue in his hand

Initially said to be a 2-3 week issue but now 2 months and counting

Is it worth even bringing him back in or should we just put him on ice with all the others

Put him on ice now...

What’s the point now. Give White an extended run instead.

Cho aint gonna play White - doesnt like him let alone aknowledge him
White's mum is apparently pushy and he's getting back her by ignoring the boy

that's how s*** rolls down at RSEA apparently

be different if he went to Xavier, then the network kicks in and overrides the coach

Not only would he get a game, but in 2 years he'd be working in HQ 3 below Gil, and 2 below Simon

Agreed it has been quite sus. He broke his hand played the next week and then extraordinarily had to have it operated on? Bizarre???

Maybe the problem started in his hand but then he morphed into Sammy Hamill??

So what if his mum is pushy.

We are supposed to be a meritocracy and the kid can clearly pay so give him a run at it ffs.

This is the same sort of political crap that saw Longer overtake Hickey and Acres not being given a crack at the midfield.

What the f*** goes on down there?

Apparently there is a push for a name change at the club from St Kilda FC to "OLd Xavierians nepotists OBC"

Seems to be a lot of back injuries at our club - is that because we have too few carrying the on-field load?

Weve really missed him, his effort and output are sometimes underrated.
No doubt his, Robbos, Gearys and Carlisle's absence has affected our ability to effectively rebound.
But yes i think no rush with him.

So it's gone from hand to ........ back?

Think it is still listed hand on the AFL injury reports

Tough player, has good attributes as a defender, but is injury prone and can turn the ball over with poor decisions or skill errors

Right deal, I’d trade him

He’d be one on 10 I would trade for the right price

Only problem I have is that our recruiting staff would stuff up the pick we get by picking another failure

How many games has Webster played?

And we have been a poor side throughout that time

Webster is not the answer

He and others are the problem

Hence we have been a bottom Club for as long as we have been

Nothing wrong with his footskills.
He's the one that takes responsibility for that risky kick that opens up the ground rather than the safe kick down the line to a contest and another stoppage. High risk high reward, but I like seeing us take the game on.

The story is that Jimmy told the club his hand was broken and they forced him to play the next week which resulted in a further break and an operation.

I’ve seen Webster turn over 25m kick ins on multiple occasions

He can hit some really difficult passes, and make some awful changers. He looks a good kick, as many lefties do because the get a bit more time, but I can tell you, he is a turn over merchant!

I’d rather Jimmy kicking the ball than Geary, Savage and McKenzie.

Says it all St Bob

And the reason we have been a bottom Club over the careers of these players

I would agree Jimmy is a better kick than Dan McK and Geary, not a high bar there!

On par with Sav, who is actually a beautiful kick, but his long bomb predictably means he actually rarely passes the ball. A better version but similar situation with Newnes.

Jimmy can really nail a difficult pass, and also miss a simple pass. He is not reliable.

Should be played as a wingman. Want his spearing kick into forward 50 not out of it.
