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.

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.

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.

It was pick 15.

Dunn.

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
