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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
