Not getting a game behind Mumford, Goodes, Pyke, Roberts Thomson ...

so maybe a good get for Melbourne as a free agent in PSD.

Latest write up on Swans website:

With Seaby injured, Jesse White stood up as the Swans Reserves number one ruck option. Not only did White control the ruck across the ground, but he had a major impact when he drifted forward, finishing with six goals - the bulk of which came from open play. Kicked 6 goals for swannies reserves. Big tough and agile.

Thoughts?

    Never liked him. To me he looks a bit like sellar. I don't mean to be offensive but he seems to be big and dumb. Few swannies mates are very happy to not see him playing for them at the moment.

    Every year he gets bought up, but he is no good. And don't read into the performance of any of the Swans players in the reserves...that league is woefully bad.

    EDIT: just remembered they now play in the new NEAFL, which is nowhere near as bad as the old ACT league they used to play in. Always remember hearing about some no-name Swan racking up 50 touches or kicking 10 in that league.

    lol

    We had a Jesse White thread last year too, you know, when he was good enough to be in the 25 for the Swans.

    Where is he this year?

    Seriously, where is that guy?

    Is he on holidays?

    lol...again.

    Found the thread from 2011 - http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/topic/28328-jesse-white/page__hl__white

    And 2010! (with a bit of 2011) - http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/topic/23203-the-jesse-white-thread/

    I was in incredibly good form in that second thread.

    Ironically, I was initially fawning over White, but then 'Pow! Right in the kisser!' did some good things.

    I would send Petterd+Bate up there for him.

    He would be looking for more opportunity.

    White is a hack, there is a reason that an average ruckmen/forward in mumford plays before him.

    I know you would, you started one of those threads I listed...

    AND BATE IS AN UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENT AND CANNOT BE TRADED.

    (I sang that, so it isn't yelling, it is just singing with a low voice because I want it to register.)

    (I sang that too...)

    Is this serious? Mumford is a very good ruckman, maybe not a great forward but definitely one of the best ruckmen in the comp.

    All over him like a rash you were. Trip down memory lane there, interestingly there's two guys in each of those threads who remind me of Jose.

    He showed a lot of promise back in 2010. He was looking to be the next big thing. We had no tall forwards and a lot of us wanted to make a play for him.

    We would be able to pick him up cheap now. But i don't want him now.

    If he is only a good ruckmen and a poor forward, does that make him a great player? Cox can do both well, he is a great player. Mumford is a good ruckmen, i think we would be stretching to say he is amongst the leagues best.

    I don't rate the guy, but he has asked to be traded from the Swans. Might be a better bet than Dawes.

    Article.

    Maybe an indication that the Swans have secured Tippett.

    And if that domino falls, Lions will go for Moloney.

    Certainly changes a few things. Pies won't now have upper hand.

    Don't you love the circus

    I may be repeating myself about White, can't remember but to me he lacks awareness, a bit of a poor mans Kosi and that can't be good.

  • Quote

    Keep in mind we're After a 2nd forward

  • Quote

    White is big and strong, and we need another tall forward to create contests. White at a trade pick 65+ or one of those swap Petterd to Swans for White and their pick 63 ish.

    Makes their performance this year all the more remarkable.

    This is the order of KPF I'd like us to target and what I'd be willing to give up for each of them.

    1. Chris Dawes (Collingwood) trade for Pick 20

    2. Scott Gumbleton (Essendon) trade for Jordan Gysberts

    3. Mitch Brown (Geelong) trade for Jordan Gysberts

    4. Jesse White (Sydney) trade for 4th round draft pick.

    5. Khan Haretuku (Frankston) Pick 3 in PSD.

    6. Mason Shaw (South Fremantle) take a punt at Pick 4 in National Draft.

    7. Cameron Pedersen (North Melbourne) trade for 4th round draft pick.

    So White comes in at about half way for me. Certainly wouldn't be against it if we luck out with Dawes and Gumbleton.

    Edit: Added Brown.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
