Jesse White has requested a trade from Sydney, where the 24-year-old forward played just three games in the Swans' premiership season. White, originally recruited from Queensland after spending most of his junior years playing basketball, put together an impressive 20-game season in 2010 but has fallen down the pecking order since. He is contracted for another year but, given Sam Reid's development, the recruitment of Tommy Walsh and Sydney's potential to snare Kurt Tippett, the Swans are happy to facilitate a trade.

Jesse White anyone? How's he going, I know a few seasons back he was talked up a little, I haven't seen enough of him to make a comment either way.
I did mention his name ages ago as a ruck forward prospect for us and once again got nothing positive from many expert posters on OER.
I personally think he's a good depth player for us. He's athletic, he's tall, can play forward and pinch hit in ruck. And he's from a great club with very good culture.
If anything were to happen to vickery he'd be the perfect back up.
Who knows he might even be a really good full forward and let jack to roam around with vickery at chf.
Anyway like I've said I put his name up its really up to the club to do the rest.
You never know....Blair reads my posts we'll wait and see.
Just because someone comes from a club who is applauded for their culture does not mean he will be valuable to us. There may also be other reasons other than those noted as to why a player may fall out of favour.
Mr Tigra if my memory serves me correctly you were town crier for the Essendon winning culture and system. Given they are getting Goddard and according to you they have a great culture would you pick up any of their seagull scraps available.
In so many words no to Jesse White.
Princess Jacqui gets a no too. Not enough desperations and squibs too much.
Will cost us to much to acquire and may struggle in a competitive landscape where he has to prove himself that he is competitive and to his teammates and to his get your hands dirty culture not I am Jack and my parents are loaded give me what I want culture.
