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.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
