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.

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

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 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 ;)

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.

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.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player w

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
