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?

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.)

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

lol...again.

Found the thread from 2011 - http://demonland.com...page__hl__white

And 2010! (with a bit of 2011) - http://demonland.com...e-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.

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.

Posted

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

Don't you love the circus

Posted

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.

Posted

Keep in mind we're After a 2nd forward

Makes their performance this year all the more remarkable.

Posted (edited)

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
