What would Sydney want for Jesse White ?

Worst player in the AFL to consistently get a game in my opinion. Sydney would need to throw in a sweetner if we traded Simon Buckley for him.

Unless we nab a KPF in the trade period White wont be going anywhere.
He's played because realistically our other options atm aren't physically developed enough (Johnston). So there is no way we'd be getting rid of him for a mid who wouldn't make our 22 whilst leaving a huge gap in our fwd line.

has he learnt to mark yet. 'cause once he does that he'll be fine.

Surprisingly his last few games of 09 (when he got his RS nom) he was marking fine and looked ready to break out. His stats since then havent been as good.

His biggest problem atm is leading to the wrong spots/not leading enough/timing his leads correctly, and it is a big problem to fix.

However as I've already said, the fact he is getting games in our forward line whilst rated so lowly by pretty much everyone should tell you that we are short for developed forward targets at the moment. So given he is in contract and his worth to our team vs his worth to another team with forward prospects means you would need to be paying over the odds to get him.

If you believe the Swans coaching staff, at training he thrashes Goodes in one on one marking contests and can break even with Reid. His issue is more that, in a dynamic game environment, he doesn't instinctively know where to run to present as a dangerous option and/or it hasn't yet twigged with him how hard he needs to work and how many contests he needs to get to. It is not so much what he does that is the issue as how much of it he tends to do during a game.

AND he needs to get much fitter. Needs to seriously build stamina.
 
I'd hope he's on no more than 200K and that's if he's lucky.

As far as trade value it's tricky, most Sydney supporters on this site seem to think we'd get a lot less for him than what he is worth to us and I tend to agree.

He's worth probably a 3rd rounder on the open market, because he is still a young KPP who's shown some real promise, but I doubt it'd be worth it for Sydney unless they got a 2nd rounder and he's not really worth that.

I'd give Collingwoods second rounder to get White, I think he has a lot of upside and could benefit from a scenery change. Would be an obvious Leigh Brown replacement.

I would too. Early/mid 40s pick. Very dangerous looking player. Would slot straight in and appears quicker and more mobile then Leroy along with a better ruckman. Instant upgrade without the aggression.
Is White aggressive??

If he was he'd be 1,000,000 x better than he currently is :(

A pick in the 40's is a 2nd rounder this year? Ok, maybe next year then lol.
 
They Swans tried to give him away last year and no one wanted him. I doubt anyone wants him this year either.

They should trade him to Adelaide for a 5th rd pick out of goodwill.


The problem was that Adelaide didn't want him. At all. And Sydney wanted to get rid of him. Bizarre sticking point.
 
Dogs supporters maybe.

What would you say for White in exchange for Young and maybe third rounder?

In which universe is Young going to get near the Swans senior team?

I think the Dogs would be a bad fit for Jessie anyway, he needs to be the 2nd banana not the focal point and I don't think the Dogs have anyone (no disrespect to Jones) to take the heat off him
