Ewer and Wilson HAVE signed for Goolwa/Port Elliot and big Whitey (who i know very well) had made his decision to leave GPE in late September/early October, the main reason was the travel time (the big guy lives 90minutes away) and was offered the same amount of coin to play closer to home. As he was a contracted player for 2010, GPE have been paid out by his new club, plus some.
White is great mates with Simon Dennis, and i believe Alby helped with his decision to leave. His departure frees up 4 points and dollars to spend on a younger, more agile full forward, possibly a Trev Rigney who would be a better fit for the young Magpies side.
