News Jesse White Requests Trade

[OldiebutaGoode]

Sure did mate 2009 season is why he got a extension we thought he was gonna breakout but it never happened

He still could. At 24, he has plenty of time. I think it is about reforming his attitude - he has ability, agility and body size in spades. He needs to listen to coaches and work harder.

Moving clubs might instil a sense of purpose to his career in that if he doesn't make it work at a new club, he might have wasted every opportunity given to him. Alternatively, if he stays at Swans he will have to work hard for the last year of his contract to try to win a future contract. If his contract was ending this year, based on 2012, he would be signing for less money.

But I still like him, and like many Swans players, he is vastly under-rated by the market. Still can't believe nobody wanted O'Keefe when he was on the table. Norm Smith winner, dual Premiership player, B&F, absolute gun. I can't believe it, but I'm very glad nobody wanted him either. Might have been Carlton or Hawthorn this year instead of us, perish the thought.

Hawthorn definitely wanted RO'K, they weren't prepared to cough up anything half decent for him and RO'K didn't want to walk out on the club either, which is why he stayed.

I kind of agree with White, as much as i knock the bloke maybe he needs a chance at a new club. Not worked out for him here, he was kind of a speculative pick in the draft at 70-odd anyway, maybe another club will get the best out of him.

After reading this article in the HUN, perhaps it's best for White if he doesn't go to Adelaide. Their supporters are going mental about Tippett, and they were ragging on him for the past 12 months or so prior to his trade decision. If White ends up in Adelaide, I hope for his sake he can turn his form around really quickly and crack their best 22. Otherwise, the fans will be baying for his blood. I hope the players don't read these forums - there's some pretty average stuff being said.

We should do our best to get white to a club where the supporters arent nutters. i for one will happily keep him

Different story though. ROK asking price and the trade value were what the Hawks baulked at.. thank god.

White might have time but not plenty. If he's with us next year he really has to show something and any other clu he's going to be on a two year small salary playing a fringe role.

For some reason Carlton suporters I know seem to have interest though given the circumstances I could see North in the mix as well.

Hawthorn did want ROK, but Carlton signed him and it wasn't till Roos read the riot act to him that he stayed and i bet he's glad now.

Poor boy stuck in limbo now. If he's got signed paperwork to the crows and it's not happening he cant go anywhere else either.

 

[bedford]

Good bloke, feel sorry for him, but remember we put B1 up for trade and the rest is history

 

[mysainters]

Sorry mate have not heard anything about TDL.

Seems to have got a bit of airtime now.

The Saints, meanwhile, have moved to secure a replacement for Cripps in negotiating a trade of a late pick for Sydney small forward Trent Dennis-Lane.

The Saints are seeking to load up with a fast forward line blending in quick recruits Tom Lee and Dennis-Lane to complement the pace of Rhys Stanley and Terry Milera.

Melbourne is still trying to find a pick to be able to trade to St Kilda for Farren Ray, who is still in contract and the Saints are happy to keep.

If Melbourne ruck-forward Stefan Martin were to be traded to Brisbane, the Demons would try to include that pick in a trade to St Kilda.

No probs, always hesitant to start new threads on opposition boards. Will be interested to hear all your comments.
