White Impressive

Post: # 1691002Post older saint »

i was really impressed with White. Thought his last quarter when the game was there he backed himself with a couple contested marks and a great 1 on 1 win on the HFF . Like his upside a lot .Backline rotation of Carlisle, Brown, Robbo, Webster , White, Geary, Savage Looks good and thats without Rice developing also

Our Boy was Magnificent! Game 3. Strong, reliable hands, fast for a bloke his size.

Congratulations Brandon.

Rising star chance this week?

Exciting prospect but please keep him off the beer and pizzas over summer.

Je came back to preseason last year in less than ideal condition. He won't make the same mistake again. The boy can play and is an important part of our future. Play him. Again and again. He's a gun.

Gee, he took a very timely mark at one stage in that last quarter. I like this kid. He was fantastic in his first league game in the final game of last year. He seems to have good instinct and holds his ground in the hard-ball moments.

If you have a 19/20 year old in only his 3rd game playing so well and composed in a high pressure finals defining game like that...it speaks volumes of his talent.

He has pace, good skills, has a crack and can mark. Perfect HB.

Agree. And his left foot propels the ball like a bazooka.

Brandon Whites game today put an end to Montagna's career.
He must play the rest of the year and be ready for 2018..
I think we found another player today.
Bailey Rice will be up against players like White and Webster to get a game now.

So... if white & Rice continue to develop, where does that leave our captain? Can he hold his spot?

The kid can play, good overhead and sublimely elite by foot. Is going to be a gun.

Very talented young man.
His attitude is very nonchalant, but continues to improve week by week.

If he really wants to Brandon will be a 200 game player!

He looked very composed interstate last week in only his second game, and continued that this afternoon in game 3. It's a great sign.

I really hope he keeps head screwed on this off-season. He's been super impressive these last 2 weeks, but imagine if he'd had real growth over preseason rather than playing catch up.

Supposedly came back fat and unfit after the preseason break. Something like that.

Done his time and already looks better than Goddard in defence.

Compare him to DMack.
Whitey seems like he belongs in the seniors
and when he's out on the ground, he isn't overawed
and doesn't care
if an opponent has 150 games head start on him.
Composed and confident.
Nice nice nice
