That’s interesting re Jesse White joining North Adelaide.
After finishing at Collingwood end 2017 he played for Glenelg for two years and won their best & fairest ( and premiership I think) in 2019. He then retired.
So what has he been doing the last three years which has kept him fit and skilled enough to return to top level SANFL football at 34 yo?
“Once a Swan and a Magpies, the 34-year-old will run out for the Roosters next season, returning to the South Australian competition a full three seasons after calling time on his tenure with Glenelg.”

I’ve found some of the answer to my own question above.
Seems Jesse White played seven games for Broadview in the amateur Adelaide Footy League in 2022. No idea what he did in previous two years (and I think amateur football was ceased in 2021 due to Covid).
And with some drama this year. He was suspended for three matches near end of the season for an elbow to the face of an opposing player (who was pinning him to the ground behind play). The third suspended match would have ruled White out of the grand final.
White took it to the Supreme Court on grounds of procedural fairness and won, and the football tribunal then reconvened and accepted the overturn of the suspension.
So Jesse played in the grand final which Broadview duly won. Though he didn’t appear in either the goal scorers or the best players.
They take their football seriously in Adelaide - Supreme Court decision on amateur footy?Comment

Well, I wouldn't really say he was sacked. The Clarkson Family Planning Institute now in charge at North Melbourne just thought
he didn't have the required skill set for player management. Frosty only knew about football and thought pretending to be a
father figure to players was a bit creepy.Comment

Adam Schneider interviewed last week on his draft day experience 20 years ago. Had no internet access and informed by mates he was drafted! Has equal affection for both Saints and Swans, with Paul Kelly his footy hero as a kid.Comment
