Jesse White

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...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.

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

I would send Petterd+Bate up there for him.

He would be looking for more opportunity.

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.

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.

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

Don't you love the circus

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.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
