Thread: Jesse White makes the Papers in Melbourne

    Jesse White makes the Papers in Melbourne

    But not for the right reasons

    White Or Wrong's Inaugural Bottom-16| AFL| Chris Judd| Jack Watts

    It seems that RWO followers are not the only ones that are dissapointed in Whites development.

    Quite illustrious company he is in to be nominated in the bottom 16 players.

    Yes well, there are several running around in the AFL that are far more disappointing than some of those. But I must admit to being very disappointed with Jesse's development. At least he had Sylvia there as I think he is probably the most overrated player in the AFL. Judd was an interesting one and quite well deserved as Carlton were at one stage basing their whole game plan around him and if he didn't turn up or got squeezed, like Smithy did to him, they got done. They have learned not to do that though. Campbell Brown would be one that the Suns would be a more than a little disappointed in. He spent a considerable amount of time last year suspended and he hasn't exactly excelled on the stats sheet this year. In nine games he has been pretty ordinary and got injured again last week. A high price signing not doing enough.

    Interesting read - I like this guy's columns - he puts an interesting and often funny spin on things. BTW he's a Perth journo, with WA Today, which feeds thru to the other Fairfax publications. So this article would have gone national, at least through the online versions.

    Not much chance getting something decent for him in a trade now, maybe in GC?

    He may be off the mark with some but he's right about White.

    Even more worrying for white that a WA journo sees him in that light.

    It's a comedy piece article but his selections generally have merit IMO.

    The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.
    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

    We could trade him for a new scooter for Ciggy

    I dont know. If the only time you are talked about is being in the worst 16 in the league then you have something to be concerned about. Mind you he is in pretty good company so it means that many people see him as a player who is a very wasted talent. Ive always felt that his issues were mental ones and if he he just had the self belief we would see a totally different player, but I also imagine that the swans would have put a lot of time into this side of it and it still hasnt reaped any rewards.
