    Wasn't it during the odd facial hair period? Maybe the Swans are anti-hipster-explains Armstrong being overlooked too.

        Whilst this would be great, have you seen Jetta's and Mal's beards?

          My first thoughts, too. Jude may go into the media and player management, but it's pretty clear Mal will go into coffee roasting or craft beer brewing.

          I wouldn't be surprised if we have to wait until after the Grand Final to get a real idea, Freo would love a big forward (and Ross has acknowledged interest in Jesse) and I suspect on the Hawks side if Buddy moves there'll be a domino effect as well.

          Unless Collingwood table a large offer you'd expect Jesse would want to talk to all potential suitors.
          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

            Maybe a straight swap - White for H Shaw.

              I hope they don't swap H. Shaw for White although the pre season draft may worry the Swans!

              Jesse is a vital price of the puzzle, with Goodes retiring in the next 5 years and some people saying that Reid is to be moved to the back line!

              I would hate a forward line of Ben Reid, Jesse White and Travis Cloke coming at us!

                I guess Tippett, Reid and Goodes will have to suffice for now!

                  How do you explain Jetta's leopard skin pants and faux glasses?

                    Ignoring the Shaw baggage, on pure on-field output we'd be well in front if a straight swap were to occur. That's not to say Jesse can't continue to improve but I really doubt that Collingwood would settle for that.

                      There are also rumours going around that Sam Reid is going to Collingwood as well. Some have all 3, White, Mummy and Reid leaving. Sounds pretty crazy, but it is that time of the year.

                      I wonder if offering Mummy a shorter contract is a subtle way of pushing him out while appearing to negotiate in good faith. Perhaps we will cave in and give him what he wants if we can't find suitable compensation for him.

                      Here's one for you: White goes to Collingwood in a straight swap for Heath Shaw who is packaged with Mummy and traded to GWS in exchange for pick 9 and a KPD (perhaps Jaksch or Bruce). So effectively we lose White AND Mummy for pick 9 and a young defender. I really want Jesse to stay, but I would take that deal. Only problem is Jesse is likely to win the Coleman and lead the Pies to a premiership.

                        That's one way to solve our top-heavy issue I guess - get rid of 3 of our best 22.

                          I'd take that trade in an instant. Would not trade Mummy at all if possible but if would take that overall trade.

                            No reason to place any real stock in it, but this was in Football Nation:

                            "Sydney is likely to off-load one of its tall forwards Jesse White or Sam Reid; the latter appears more likely to go given White?s impressive season at the Swans and Reid?s injury concerns."

                            I didn't think Sam was even being considered for a move. That would seem a significant turnaround, particularly with his ability to move back. Surely this must be uneducated Melbourne media?

                              Lets hope so, lose either or both of mummy and Reid would be disastrous

                                its so exciting when you might land someone and so depressing/scary when you might lose someone.
