This has probably been written elsewhere but does anyone know if Melbourne can and or will put Jeff White and Adem Yze on the trade table? While Yze's undoubtedly finished, even if we gave Jeff away for pick 96 or something a la the Steven King trade of last year isn't that something? It looks after White and we're making a gain (albeit limited).

Both will be delisted, as announced (tho' actual delisting is not til Nov 14 with List Lodgement). So they will go into the PSD. UNLESS more than 1 club is interested, and approaches MFC to do a trade so that he doesn't go to the PSD. (Depending on the club, they may have an eye on another player in PSD, so that would encourage a trade for White, or Yze for that matter.)

The PSD is looking more and more interesting by the day - gotta wait til Dec 16 tho'. :mellow:

Whatever happens, this won't have any bearing on the MFC. By trading Steven King, Geelong was able to get rid of a contracted player that they wanted off the books, without delisting him. The fact that they got a pick they were never going to use was inconsequential, as they wanted the cap relief. We're in a situation where even if half the ruckmen in the comp suddenly came down with rabies and Jeff White was thrust into high demand, we're not going to gain a pick we'll actually use. If they were contracted, you'd take whatever pick you could get for them.

If it's just a paper gain - ie. a pick that we're never going to realise (use) - then it's not really 'something' for us, no.

However, I'm not opposed to us looking after our players a la King.

Cast your mind back a few years and we did a deal with Port for negligible benefit that gave Walsh a gig in his home state.

The prospect of trading White for what's essentially nothing has been mentioned by others previously (including me).

It seems unlikely this will happen though, as there seems to be little interest in White (and nothing for Yze).

White hopeful career can continue

Now am I the only one who's starting to think this sounds a bit sad?

"The 31-year-old says that while no AFL clubs have spoken to him about playing next year, he still had a small hope that he would be picked up in the national or pre-season draft"

Now I love the guy for what he did for a club for such a long period, but, well, I'm not too sure what to say

Hasnt Jeff White been picked up by an SANFl side. Possibly Glenelg?????

I cant confirm this, a mate was telling me that he read an article, but I never got a chance to ask where.

Considering he wants to base himself on the Gold Coast after AFL, that sounds odd.

I think Peter Street is being courted by some SANFL teams - possible your friend got them mixed up?

Does seem a bit odd, but i've heard the same rumour. Only thing that the SANFL would seem to offer is the largest salary cap outside of the AFL, but even then, the whole thing per club would be less then what he was on this year

Yes, and he's currently based at the Gold Coast at present, maintaining his strength and fitness. Which just adds to it sounding odd. He should give Vossy a call. I wish him all the best.

White is currently considering signing on with the Redland FC (Bomers affiliate) in QLD.

Aparently his brother plays for them as well..

Hopefully Vossy can pick him up. If only the GC team came in next year.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
