It's time to give Spencer White his shot...

[Enrico_Misso]

What we need from Spencer is some consistency.
He flashes into the play at Sandy and does half a dozen good things to show his potential.
Then nothing for the rest of the game.
That won't cut it at AFL.

Today is a massive opp for him.
Put together 4 solid quarters and I reckon he will get a run next week.

[bigred]

He doesn't work hard enough yet.

No tank.

He is not ready. I reckon he would get torched if we played him.

[falka]

He is the type of player that will show more at the higher level, surrounded by better players.

Problem is, he is on our list and not another teams.

That is a joke if your wondering.

So bloody droll on here.

Go Saints

[saint6709]

He is 18 and should not even be considered this year

[Con Gorozidis]

Why would we play Spencer this year ?
Just to give hope to members ?

If we stoop to that level we really are becoming Melbourne.

Agree. A few games now, this year, will mean much much more than a few down the track. When you see first hand how hard AFL is, there's extra motivation to work harder over summer.

[Buckets]

Well it will be either he or Kosi this week as Roo has been ruled out for next week.

[plugger66]

Well Kosi has been injured for 3 weeks and i still think he is injured. I doubt either will play but it will depend on his form today as it should do.

Question is if not White who?

It can be a small. it could be a runner. It could be anyone. it isnt going to really matter but I reckon a player needs to deserve a game before he is picked. he may after today.

[bigballs]

Give some of the untried players a go and see how they handle it.

I'd love to see White being given a go and maybe elevate Shenton for one or two games and see how he goes as well.

Hell, with 5 games to go what have we got to lose?

As "Munga" says, "When you see first hand how hard AFL is, there's extra motivation to work harder over summer", so I reckon they should give them a taste of the big time.

[SideshowMilne]

spied running the tan track today.

Excellent. That can only mean one thing
















Grand Final Sprint!!!

[savatage]

Good boy!

[stinger]

..so what's your problem.......

i really wouldn't know were to start.

[Dr Spaceman]

With all the Essendon stuff and now Saady, can we please rename this thread to,

"It's time to give Spencer White a game..."

[SainterK]

With this Saady stuff Doc, it's a timely thread.

The club with no voice.

Being quick isn't one of them.

[Greg T]

Kosi and roo were 18 when they started so let's give him a go.
Nothing to lose , give him a taste and let's see how he goes.

[lloyd21]

Would hope the best game for debut Gold Coast here under roof young defence to play against .

Why play in Brisbane when likely to be wet or dewy I think . Could be wrong

[suss]

If he plays as a sub he won't need a tank anyway. How buggered could he get in 20 minutes of football.

[savatage]

His tank isn't as bad as people are making out.

His second efforts & tackling have CLEARLY improved since his early games this season.

He just needs a body. Very skinny up top.

[Griggsy]

come in as sub in 3rd quarter, And he's a forward? So he should get plenty of rest down there waiting

Good call. If he bags one or two sausage rolls would be a great boost for supporters over the off-season after (another!) annus horribilis. Although I know they can't treat him like a toy. Watters seems very responsible with the young players.

[MCG-Unit]

White won't be playing anywhere this week - out for the season with a wrist injury...
