Talks about the rising of Reid and Rohan from last year. Should be good.

Goodes smashed it out apparently. No suprises there.

What really suprises me is that they were playing Jesse White in defence. :o

Could it be a permanent role change with the Swans forward line stacked?

Looking at Rohan as a forward smokey now..

Mailman im not sure a permanent solution because White as a forward would be pretty good

but with Goodes moving into CHF no spot up front

TheMailman · February 11, 2012, 03:10:44 PM

White originally looked really good as a forward

When he does throw himself at contests he creates great goals but he just doesn't do that enough

He could be another Heath Grundy

i dont agree with the smokey element but someone very underpriced due to his injuries last year

yeah was never really a smokie, more unique. Hopefully these articles dry up over the next few weeks so not every man and his dog has him!! Was always going to be a massive run this year

all we need to do is start talking up other players instead of him

lets hopefully keep this really quiet

Really good call... though I always thought Reg just needed more time to get better as a fwd, but the switch to defence for him has been career saving, so no reason why it cant work for White. Richards and LRT are a year or two away from retirement, so a big fullback could be the right call!

+1 - sssshhhh! (i've been saying it all pre-season long - keep it quiet fellas! ;))

but seriously, he'll be a risk - not quite consistent enough at this stage of his development ... (says Capt. Obvious) :D

yeah?

That's why the swans got him

Capper · February 17, 2012, 11:49:02 PM

Surely rohan is in front of walsh.

different types of players tabs ... Rohan is a small forward who could have some stints in the midfield ... Walsh is more of a KPP forward (not sure if he has played back??) ...
