    That is probably a good bet or Brisbane who are looking for another big guy. By the way Captain not U.S. I thought he played the ruck pretty well by the end of the reserves year.

      As for ruck stocks, Lewie and Tippett for back-ups? Not too shady. Time to offer that big lanky top-up a rookie contract I think (Naismith ?)
      I was about to say that! Young Naismith looks ok and the other young fella they brought in wasn't too bad either. They could be Rookie listed as just in casers and developed. I would rather start developing young blokes now when we have three who can do the job and not wait a few years and try to get an experienced guy.

        Wow now that is interesting as her was a sensation in SA. I knew he would be but he just needed to play in a comp that was a bit better for the AFL clubs including our own to see what he could do.

          So much fun but 196cm & 80kg is not 201cm & 100kg. Starling would be a key posie prospect though and maybe pinch in the ruck.

              good luck Jesse I'm sorry Sydney did not work out for you. Your last half of the Two's season was very good and I was expecting to see that Jesse next year. But wherever you go think positive!

                He has definitely gained weight because if I remember rightly he weighed in at just over 80 when they first noticed him. Weight is not a big consideration in Basketball as he would have been a guard anyway and need to be fast not heavy. His kicking is very good and marking is good but the handball is a bit awkward. Given time he will get used to that. But I am impressed with his athleticism most of all, he is quick for someone 196cm.

                  I'm one of the few here that thinks White is OK. It's pretty hard these days to play as a tall forward and he isn't too bad in the ruck. I think we could get a reasonable pick for him. He might be one of those players that given a second chance at a new club does really well. Good luck to him.

                    Jesse's ruckwork has been very impressive in the ressies against some pretty big bodies. Looked good enough to be carried over to the seniors. His forward work is another matter. But if he went to a club that could stick with him for a year in the forward/2nd ruck role, I think he will do okay and could well develop into a very handy player. I don't think he is suited for a premiership contender, but could well find a spot in the senior side of one of the weaker clubs. If not for the Tippett deal, would have been happy to keep him as the 3rd ruck option, and thought he had a reasonable chance to challenge Pyke for the 2nd ruck spot next year. (That was before Pyke's performance in the GF). I think he would go well at the Saints who are really desperate for this type of player.

                      You have been taking you tablets lately, Ludwig. Another golden observation.

                      I would take it one step further and suggest that Jesse's best scenario was if he was left to do all the ruck work on his own for 10-15 games. So he doesn't have the threat of being dropped hanging over his shoulder. He can just get into it. I was at Subiaco against West Coast last year, or year before and I liked his work, a lot.

                        Jesse for Tippett and a 2nd round pick is what I'd offer.

                          And I would be delighted with that too.

                            And while Swans fans revel in their coup, Crows fans everywhere top themselves...

                              You never know, a new home could be what he needs.

                                Maybe so, but Adelaide won't accept that deal banking on that fact. Jesse will do well to attract any trade offer IMO - certainly nothing better than a very late pick.
