      Excellent!!!

      Thought he would go for sure. Guess his role here is secure where at the GC he may not play - depending on signings.

      Great news - happy man.

        'To give them credit, his management were very good, they never used the threat of the new team or anything like that [to sweeten the deal],'' Ireland said. ''But we are obviously aware that there was the possibility there could be some interest given he is from up that way.''

        Jesse - time to get new management! They dropped the ball there...and only a 2 year deal!?!

            Not necessarily. The article seems to indicate that White was looking to repay the Swans for giving him an opportunity. If White didn't want to use that as a threat, then it's good that the management respected that decision. 2 year deal does seem a little short, but I guess he hasn't really proved anything long term yet.

                It reads like it's a 2 year extension, so he is actually contacted for the next 3 years.

                That should give him plenty of time to hopefully become the power FF we hope he can be.

                      Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!

                      This is excellent news, if Jesse was to kick 35+ goals next year GCFC would have really thrown some silly money at him.
                      I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                      We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                        then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i know

                          Expected (by me anyway) but great news all the same. He will be a gun.
                          He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                            Was never that worried about the Gold Coast but great news for the future of the club.

                              Wonderful news for the club. I'm convinced Jesse has the potential to turn into a Matthew Pavlich-style superstar. Roll on the future!
