You don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby Ziegler

Riewoldt is no doubt a protected species, he's becoming like Matthew Lloyd of a few years ago.
"I think Jesse probably had one of his worst games ... just one of those nights you have with a young kid where nothing goes right,"
And White remains Roos whipping boy de annee!!!
Although White wasn't great, amongst other things he needs to get his timing right, saw him tearing out of square far too early on occasions last night, saw Bradshaw drop a couple of marks he should've taken.
I think it's interesting that Roos has now said that Bradshaw was dangerous and White had one of his worst games.
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhood
Keeping in mind Bradshaw had no pre season, hence getting some match fitness will make him "dangerous".
Roos is spot on in his observation not just looking for the whipping boy, Jesse did miss some relativly straight forward grabs and when you are a target you just can't afford to do that. As Roos said Jesse is still young and will have games like that.

I don't disagree that White did not set the world on fire, but neither did Bradshaw and I find it puzzling that one would have had a shocker and one would have looked dangerous.

With White, my issue was more the 2nd efforts and toughness at the ball, he just was left wanting on too many occasions.
Add in the basic skill errors, and you have a pretty horrible night at the office.
My main concern, which grows every time Roosy makes comment on White, is that he obviously feels the absolute necessity to be so public and so critical (certainly compared to any other of his players I can recall). Roos has always been subtle in his public criticisms of players (both senior players and youngsters) but with White it is significantly different.
To me this goes beyond a coach just feeling a relaxed player who didn't push himself enough in his early days at the club needs a push along, could be a very good player so want to make sure he keeps raising the bar, don't want to praise him too much as he's the sort of guy who it could go to his head etc etc. Resumably he reserves the positive feedback for behind closed doors so there would be more of a balanced assessment overall, but it still nags away at me that Roos does have such concerns that the public comments are so consistently negative (particularly given it's White's 4th year at the club - should know what it required by now).
