I would love him at my club!

...........Said no one ever
And yet someone did. This fool even expressed his interest in him on the Hawthorn board. Not surprisingly, everyone agreed....and by 'everyone' I mean no one.

I would be interested for pick 60ish and a pick upgrade...people were calling Hale a spud when we picked him up and he has been quite serviceable...think Monkey can work his magic on young Jesse...I don't see Hale and Roughead being our ruck combo next year with Bailey being given every opportunity to be our number one ruckman, if this fails I would like to seek other options rather than resorting to Roughead in the ruck straight away...White and Hale could be that option...McCauley, Grimely and Lowden all could be banging the door down to play but with Hawthorns luck with ruckman I would look at it.

This isn't charity mate. Why wouldn't they just de-list or keep him?
If they delist him, they still have to pay all his contract out and its still included in there upcoming salary cap. By trading him, even paying part of his salary, this would still get some of the salary off the cap and get some compensation in late draft pick, whether its used or not is another question though.

Size, strength, decent kicking ability - but he goes missing more than the Marburg virus.

I can't see him being of much value as a trade, but we will need to replace him if both he and Seaby leave, so it should be something to allow us to acquire a backup ruck.

If the offers don't roll in, then he can fester in the local league for a while just in case Mummy and Pyke go down.
If the Swans get Tippett - do you still see the swans playing both Pyke and Mumford in the same side. I could see Tippett comes in and Pyke becomes back up if Mumford goes down. That means you have your back up, and Seaby/White become superficioulous to needs (to highly paid to be 3rd/4th options)

For a time they used LRT as backup ruckman/forward, but they moved away from that with two specialists later in the season. Still, I'd be surprised to see Mumford, Tippett, Pyke and LRT in the same side, unless Grundy is traded and LRT goes back. If we keep Grundy, I think you're right - LRT and Tippett will be the on-field backups, with Pyke pushed out.

Could be a good pick up if he got the chance to play consistent footy, never really strung a whole lot of games together.
He played through pretty much all of 2009 and 2010 in the seniors. Showed a bit of promise at the end of 09, then fell away.

Trust me, Swans fans were foaming at the mouth after that performance too. He's got every athletic attribute you could ask for but just can't bring it all together.
The supporting ruck, pinch hit forward role is tailor made for him. It's an issue with confidence with White. He does have all the attributes and has the ability to clunk some great marks. He can never (ever) string games together. If ever there was a player suited to a good sports psych, it's Jesse White. Get him right up top and you have yourself a good support ruckman.

Actually he is a terrible mark, incredibly hard hands means he often drops the simplest of chances.

Unless he's cooking crystal blue meth, I see very little value in recruiting him.
Shit mate don't give it away, I haven't watched any of seasons 5-24 yet. I know Skylar sleeps around but didn't think she'd end up being Jesse's baby mumma.
