How ironic.

Jeff White playing second fiddle in the ruck to Darren Jolly?

Jeff White right fit for Swans

Sounds right for them now that Peter Everitt has retired and it's typical of Paul Roos to squueze every ounce of ability and playing life out of a footballer. Good luck to Jeff as he's been a real stalwart for our club.

    Im pretty sure we can still trade him.

    If not, why wouldn't we wait until after trade period to delist him??

    I was under the impression you can only trade whats on your list...last time I looked.. White is not on our list !!

    Theoretically White is still on our list until the first list lodgment, which i believe is after the trade period.

    We can still trade him and may be able to get something for him (not much) if there are more than one club wanting him.

    If Jeff goes into the draft, anyone can pick him up but a club (Sydney) can guarantee his services through trading for him.

    They can have him...just as long as they bundle #41 as well ;) (thats payment enough....better than any 5th round pick !!)

    Sydney would be pretty safe picking him up in the PSD..if thats what they wanted to use it for. In reality what would we get..if anything.. a late 4th rounder etc....Its not quite like money, we cant simply swap two 4ths for a 3rd etc !!

    Good luck Jeff.. enjoy the retirement even if in Red & White !!

    If Sydney want to top up their list to bridge the gap between them and the top teams, aren't they the perfect team to try to trade Bruce or Green to?

    Bruce would strengthen their midfield immensly and provide versatility.

    Pick 11 for Bruce and White? Where do i sign?

    I like your thinking son.. but I think theyd more likely go the same thing for pick 27 !!

    the draft is to tight !! No ones going to give up a first round pick me thinks !!

    Dunno about that. It is Sydney after all. Let's not forget they coughed up a first rounder (16?) for Darren Jolly.

    That said, pick 11 for White and Bruce would be a dream come true. I doubt it'll happen.

    I doubt Jeff will be involved in any trades at all, given that clubs will know he is gone, so they can just wait until draft day to get him for free.

    Pick 11 for Bruce and White = pick 11 for Bruce.

    Not in this draft. They're not that stupid.

  • Quote

    who was pick 16 we got for trading jolly?

    It was pick 15.

    Dunn.

    Great, hey ?

    Correct. White has no trade value even if packaged up with another player

    And Bruce would be lucky to pull better than pick 25 and MFC would still pick up part of his package for a year o two. However while the Swans are interested in White at a gift price, I am not so sure they are hot on Bruce.

  • Quote

    Getting anything for either White or Bruce is somewhat fanciful in light of how this draft will play out. Roos is only too aware they also need to get some inigourating blood into their line up...only so many gerries on life support that a team can caryy !!

    The concept of Bruce going in any which way and returning a 2nd rounder is more our wishing that any reality coming back at us..

    It s all just a nice idea !! :)

    White will walk up the road for nix

    no, he's been delisted, free agent, we get nothing for him

    Technically he is still our player, as are Yze, Holland, Neitz, Bode and Weetra. Sydney will have to give us something for a trade, as stipulated in the AFL rules. As all parties know that White will be delisted, it will be a draft pick in the 90 range that we would not use.

    Great, hey ?

    Jolly wanted to leave so that couldn't be helped but it goes to show you just how risky the top 20 picks are...

    They're not all All-Australian material........

    I have to say, this says quite a lot about Sydney. They must think a premiership is still near. I know they don't believe in bottoming out, but I seriously can't see White giving much to the club for more than 2 years, and they haven't got a chance of a premiership in that time.

    Shhh... Don't tell Sydney ;)

    He'd offer Sydney just as much - if not more than Everitt did for Sydney this year. Which was stuff all. Like MFC Supporter says, "Shhh, don't tell Sydney"

    Its more a case that Sydney maximise their tilt at a flag while Hall, O'Loughlin, Kenneally, Goodes and Kirk are around. Ultimately trading away their picks and the retirement of the star players will impact their list negatively.

    I agree White will offer them little and their opportunity at another flag is slipping.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
