News:
High-profile recruit Jesse White is aiming to win a spot in Collingwood’s strong forward line in 2013 but the former Sydney forward is refusing to take a position in the senior team as a certainty.
White read the writing on the wall after the Swans swooped on Lance Franklin days afte rHawthorn’s grand final triumph, a year after snaring fellow key forward Kurt Tippett from Adelaide.
The 26-year-old made an impressive five-goal debut for the Magpies in last week’s narrow NAB Challenge loss to Geelong, raising the prospect of slotting into a towering attack alongside Travis Cloke and Quinten Lynch – with swingman Ben Reid another option.
White thinks there is room for three talls in the Collingwood forward set-up, but admits it might come down to opposition match-ups.
“It will come down to who we play in that week, I definitely think we can,” said White.
“(Lynch) played a little bit more in the ruck than I did and I think I had a bit of versatility where I can ruck or go forward, maybe even play as a half-forward.”
Speaking at Collingwood’s community camp at Kinglake on Monday, White said he was looking forward to playing in partnership with Cloke, who topped Collingwood’s goalkicking last year with 68 goals.
White played 71 games and kicked 73 goals in his six seasons with the Swans.
That stint included a career-best campaign in 2013 which netted 20 goals from 15 matches, including the last 11 in succession.
“Over the last two years I have worked pretty hard on improving myself, just getting to play that game-time last year really helped because the reserve competition in Sydney was really tough, the standard wasn’t that great, so it was a big step up playing AFL,” he said.
“It was good to get some consistent games into me, and having a good pre-season helped.”
