Matt white

I bumped in to White at the races just before the 2017 Grand Final. He said it was a nightmare - Richmond v Adelaide - as an ex-Port player and what happened at Tigerland they were his two most hated teams. He said he wouldn't be watching.

Sounded like a sook at times to be honest the part about his contract I agreed with him leaving , but mentioned our coaching staff even with Dimma Port alot better 3 flags later.

As in Port's coaches were better than ours?
 
Said it himself. Most teams lift against us.

Sounded like a bit of a whinger at the club and mentioned a few negative comments, including not wanting to play in defence.

Can't make out who told him to f*ck off (sounded like "....okey")
Boaky... Travis

Context was that he was too energetic after the game had finished because he was often the sub and hadn't expended as much energy as the rest of the team and would as a result be buzzing around annoying everyone.

Yep saying Hinkley would be reassuring and like a dad etc and they would give a spray to players when needed. Maybe under Wallace coaching was crap , but didn't seem much praise for Dimma.

Hmm that’s interesting , I watched the tiger cast and got the impression he was disappointed in his contract offer from RFC that was basically rookie level lol and didn’t give me the impression there was any love lost , don’t think he even watched the game under discussion, mentioned Balta who didn’t even play

So he dislikes the club now, the one he grew up supporting?

old Rimau35, Peter White def Matt's dad

smart man but unhinged with al things Richmond

Rimau was certainly unhinged if there was ever any suggestion that Matt wasn't a fantastic footballer.
And he'd go totally troppo if anyone questioned Matt's ability or whether he deserved to be in the team.
