Henry White?

Re: Henry White?

I'd like to see him re-rookied if we could. He probably hasn't quite done enough to earn a promotion but he did make a lot of progress through the season.
My concern on White is that he isn't a speedster nor does he have great skills,. He's a decent all-round player but most players need that one skill or attribute to get themselves onto a senior list and White just misses out at the moment. If he could be re-rookied it would be a good outcome I think.

Damien McCormick Mk2?

Damien McCormick Mk2?

I'm not sure that McCormack ever improved as much as White did.
White could develop into a decent HBF or even a winger but did miss a lot of footy in his first season. He always gives 100% effort and that's why I wouldn't mind seeing him maintained.

Reason enough to re-rookie him if nothing jumps up to take his spot.

At what round would you re-rookie him?

Much like Callan & Addison, but as with with them he struggles with his decision making & skill execution. Can we afford to carry 3 players who are similiar in many ways?

With Addison and White they are just kids still who have a large scope for improvement. White is probably slightly different to the other guys you have mentioned, and given our lack of outside running power, is a type I think we need.

You would roll the dice and take him with a late pick.

Cross Boyd and Reid in the midfield have similar qualities.
I'm suggesting that White be re-rookied not added to the senior list just to see if he can keep improving. If he can't then we haven't lost much.

Re: Henry White?

As GVGjr said on a previous thread, he's a good all-rounder.
I'm not so sure that will get you into the AFL though.

We have had a couple of examples of players that you could consider "good all-rounders" that have managed to make it though. Boyd and Cross being great examples. You could also say that these guys 1 skill that sets them apart from others is their work ethic. Also helps that they are ball magnets. Does White have this desire to make it?

White worries me because he can have games where he does absolutely nothing. You wouldn't even know that he was out on the field, and others where he has dominated at reserves level.

Another point to make is that when we picked him up his body was very raw. In his first season he was under 70kg's. He has put on a bit of size this year but you could easily say that we haven't seen the best of him yet.

It will come down to a list management decision. Daniels will stay, Shaw will go, and i doubt we will keep both Mulligan and White again on the rookie list.

Re: Henry White?

Henry White cannot be re-rookied as he has already spent the maximum 2 years on our rookie list. He either has to be elevated to the senior list or cut. For those of you wanting him to be elevated I ask one question, where would he play at AFL level as his skills are average at best and he struggles to make an impact at VFL reserves level let alone senior level. For mine Daniels re-rookied, Mulligan upgraded, Picken obviously upgraded, Shaw cut, White cut, Ogle cut.

We can re-rookie him but we would have to delist him and re-draft him in the rookie draft.

From my understanding that is correct. He has to go into the draft again and someone else could nab him.
