Blair's Boys - 2012 Trade Week Targets

Don't understand the Jesse White love either.

When he's played he's been very ordinary. Barely gets a touch.

I reakon the Swans would let him go without batting an eyelid.

He is big. Thats about all he has got going for him.

I don't think anyone is "loving" Jesse White.
It is more of a case that we need some sort of backup plan and he is one of few that seem available and has some AFL traits.
I have kept a close eye on Jesse for a couple of season's now and I don't care if he comes to Richmond, as long as we get someone! Because the current plan B for a ruck/forward is embarrassing.

However, those saying the only thing going is he is big are completing ignoring his athleticism which has seen him play in the last 2 finals series for the Swans despite injury interrupted pre-seasons. And yes, he did get some kicks in those games and certainly wasn't a spud. This year he is finally injury free and interestingly enough, playing less in the seniors basically because Sydney are stacked with talls. And yes, Mike Pyke has taken his spot and in all honesty, Mike Pyke is playing really well and deserves it.

But I assure you that Jesse is a massive - massive upgrade on Derrickx.

He has some tricks. But you're right he is big... well, to be honest, he is a bloody massive unit, and only 24.

Nope, havent seen him play for Richmond this season.
What's funny about this comment is you are the president of a kid who this time last year had not played a single game for the RFC.
Morris is 18 months older than Browne & I'll bet my left nut that you didn't even know a thing about him until draft time.

I give up, you're boring me. Get a clue.

Reid and Fasolo have re-signed with Collingwood. How much cash is left for Cloke?

It would seem that Cloke and Collingwood are in the throes of a divorce settlement.

It definately feels that way doesn't it. it just seems like pies are signing who they can now and will see what they have left over for him. I do think that Krak, goldsack will be let go and the retirment of Tarrant will generate the cash to sign Cloke though.
