Is it already Killing Season 2016 (List Management) after 2 rounds

[Pmcc2911]

Apart from one or two rookie spots there won't be any Swans Acadamey kids drafted this year.
There are some solid players but no real guns

Hurley can move clubs as a DFA due to the drug ban so if he did want to come to the Swans (and let's face it, what better club to move to?) we don't have to trade for him. If he does leave the Bombers, most likely new home would be Hawthorn unless they start to slide down the table at years end.

Of course Wretchmond will have a try for him, they try for everyone and only land dross! Still spewing about last weeks result :-(

There is no key position forward depth on the list. If Tippett and Buddy go down there are no key forwards. Reid is physically unreliable and Nankervis does not have the mobility to be a key forward.

Jesse would offer some insurance for the list. He is physically resilient a mobile athlete and could give an immediate contest. He is playing ahead of Travis Cloke at the moment and can have some good patches.

For those in IT think of Jesse as disaster recovery. He would not be selected if Buddy and Tippett were fit.

The Hawks use Sphanger on their list for this purpose.

Delisted free agent

Jesse White

- At 29 years of age he could provide some useful cover if Buddy or Tippett go down and can now fill in down back. Would have to be a low salary.

Are their any clauses in his contract?

The Giants love Marchbank; I doubt they will let him go. Tomlinson is probably off to Victoria. They still have 4 very good young key defenders in Davis, Marchbank, Corr and Haynes. And Parfull is not finished yet. This year they will be adding a likely top 5 pick in Harrison McCreadie. So the glass is very full indeed. I think the Giants will try to keep the lot. The one they may let go is Jeremy Finlayson, who went low in the draft, but looks a good prospect and should be cheap. I wouldn't mind Tim Mohr, except he's had a few too many injuries and closer the end of his career, but if they can't trade him he could be delisted. They will probably keep him if they lose Marchbank.

Another one I'd be looking at is Jack Leslie from the Suns. He was a pick 20 in the 2013 draft. He played very well against us in the reserves. He seems to be 5th in line for key defenders behind Thompson, May, Day, and Henry Schade. They also have Kolodjashnij and Clay Cameron, who can play as a 3rd tall. I think Leslie is out of contract as well. I'd give them our 2nd rounder and throw in Dean Towers.

As for the salary cap, I don't think we are in a position to outbid clubs making crazy offers to players on the move. There are some decent pickings further down the pecking order on the expansion club rosters.

They love him but will let him go; they don't want to be in another Macarthur, is that his name?, who is now playing/training in WA.

Beside, correct me if i am wrong, he is out of contract end of season so no need to offer up draft spots for him.

He is what we need: has been in the AFL system for two years; has showed he can play, and is undoubtedly top quality talent.

With Talia and him, we have a brilliant backline for the next ten years, supplemented with a few another like AA.

Do what ever it take to get him in!

I would love Marchbank at the Swans, but what would be the reason for him to want to come to the Swans? It's not like McCarthy and a go home factor; he'll still be in Sydney. If he's fit, the Giants will most likely play him in the seniors, so he's going to see finals action. And I don't know what we've got in players or draft picks that the Giants might want in a trade. I just can't see how we get him.

Giants have handled macarthy perfectly. If you want to f us around you can sit out a year.
Make others think twice before pulling the homesick card.

If Marchbank wants to leave, chances are he'll have lots of big money offers from the lesser Melbourne teams who need to fill their salary caps somehow. I don't think the Swans have a problem filling the salary cap, with the midfield we have on top of the two expensive big men. And Heeney is going to start commanding a very healthy salary sooner rather than later (and probably Mills too). We've always got by with a relatively low key, blue collar defence. Makes far more sense than packing it full of highly paid players if you can get a durable group that works well together. Someone like Finlayson sounds like a much more attractive fit for our club if he chooses to seek out greater opportunities for senior footy.

Keep on those happy drugs Ma.... Luke!

Yes.

The AFL.com.au home page headline to the Collingwood win over Geelong win was "The White Stuff".

I'm sure it's a play on words to the track that Joe Moore and Mel love:

"The Right Stuff" from NKOTB

The report goes on to say that Jesse was instrumental in a 7 goal 1st term from the pies.

It's about time that the Swans faithful showed Jesse some respect. He is a depth player, but he has impact. He and Cox are dominating the Collingwood forward line.

If he was to become available as a delisted free agent the Swans would be crazy not to sign him as KPF depth.

[Ludwig]

Jesse White is more valuable to the Swans playing for Collingwood and helping them beat a genuine contender for the premiership. If Jesse is any good then Collingwood won't delist him.

[Dosser]

My guess is that Jesse must be in his contract year. He did this every time with us.

[Mel_C]

I was at the game yesterday and Jesse played really well. But he is not allowed back at the swans while he has that man bun!!

How many players have played for a club and then played at another club only to return to their original club?
