Sydney's Jesse White could still join Adelaide on a two-year deal


http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport...-a-two-year-deal/story-fnahrqwo-1226501502359

White, 25, on Friday had agreed to a two-year deal with the Crows as part of the long-running Kurt Tippett trade to Sydney that would have given Adelaide the Swans' No. 23 draft pick and the out-of-favour Swans forward.

But as Adelaide list manager David Noble was preparing to lodge the trade papers at AFL House on Friday, Trigg was returning to Australia from Europe - and finding reason to review the deal.

"It needed chief executive to chief executive talks to resolve it,'' said Trigg. "And that is (still) happening.''

Asked if the White deal was still on the table, Trigg said: "We have not killed it.''

JESSE White's mysterious hold-up in moving from Sydney to Adelaide on Friday was the result of Crows chief executive Steven Trigg seeking a new angle on the deal.

White, 25, on Friday had agreed to a two-year deal with the Crows as part of the long-running Kurt Tippett trade to Sydney that would have given Adelaide the Swans' No. 23 draft pick and the out-of-favour Swans forward.

But as Adelaide list manager David Noble was preparing to lodge the trade papers at AFL House on Friday, Trigg was returning to Australia from Europe - and finding reason to review the deal.

"It needed chief executive to chief executive talks to resolve it,'' said Trigg. "And that is (still) happening.''

Asked if the White deal was still on the table, Trigg said: "We have not killed it.''
Adelaidenow understands Adelaide's wish to sweeten the deal involves salary issues.

White is on contract to the Swans next year. Adelaide may be asking the Swans to pay White for next season and the Crows then take over White's salary in 2015.

Adelaide and Sydney have until the Friday deadline for trades to resolve the issue.

But Adelaide may not be alone in chasing White, who would strengthen the Crows' forward options and ease the threat of key forward Taylor Walker being double-teamed by defences next season when he will Adelaide's No. 1 forward.

The Crows understand Brisbane is interested in White. The Lions today are interviewing Melbourne ruckman-forward Stefan Martin for the same role of supporting captain Jonathan Brown in the Brisbane attack

It's looking grim lads. Can't see us getting anything but 23 and white...

Yeah, exactly. We're all hanging out for better news, but it ain't happening. Brisbane can have White, for all I care.

I think if Polec WANTED to come home, and we threw our first round in, then Polec+8 would be achievable; but only with both of those factors applying.

This would be the best deal possible giving Kurt is uncontracted. I think we should try for your suggestion but also be prepared to take Polec as a straight swap as our last option. Polec gives us our outside mid with a cannon of a leg.

Well its not Brisbane after Tippett or a joke about JB. Rucci is reporting that Brisbane are interested in white in the same article.

Rucci is tweeting so his stories stay relevant.
Trigg's quotes in the article represent the only real news in days.

This deal hasn't got a chance in hell. However, if it did, would probably be more like Polec + 24 from Brisbane to us. Which is still much better than 23 + White.

Does make his tweet this morning make sense. I.e. Bris putting a spanner in the KT to Syd dealings

So you agree 23 and White is bending us over? Why didn't one of you guys say this earlier so we could have exposed you guys a little bit earlier and saved a lot of wasted posts?

I do in fact agree that 23 and White is bending you over. Even with the circumstances, we should be giving you more. I wouldn't go as far to say that us giving you White and 23 is unethical or not in the spirit of trading, but I do think you're not getting what you deserve for him.
However, footy is a competition for a reason. When you're up by 40 points at half time, you don't stop and think, maybe we shouldn't continue to flog them and we'll just leave the margin at 40. You try your hardest to do what's best for your club (beat them by as much as you can).

That example isn't completely analogous but you still see my point.
