Hooray!

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Best news all day!

The title should read "Sydney secure White gold"

[Bloody Hell]

Excellent!!!

Thought he would go for sure. Guess his role here is secure where at the GC he may not play - depending on signings.

Great news - happy man.

'To give them credit, his management were very good, they never used the threat of the new team or anything like that [to sweeten the deal],'' Ireland said. ''But we are obviously aware that there was the possibility there could be some interest given he is from up that way.''

Jesse - time to get new management! They dropped the ball there...and only a 2 year deal!?!

[hot potato]

Exllt news, what a good mark he is, so superior in the air to his predecessor.

Not necessarily. The article seems to indicate that White was looking to repay the Swans for giving him an opportunity. If White didn't want to use that as a threat, then it's good that the management respected that decision. 2 year deal does seem a little short, but I guess he hasn't really proved anything long term yet.

Show me the money.

It reads like it's a 2 year extension, so he is actually contacted for the next 3 years.

That should give him plenty of time to hopefully become the power FF we hope he can be.

I'm glad he has done the white thing by us.

[Bloody Hell]

I'm glad he has done the white thing by us.

:rolleyes: Scott, Scott, Scott....:D

[stellation]

I'm glad he has done the white thing by us.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!

This is excellent news, if Jesse was to kick 35+ goals next year GCFC would have really thrown some silly money at him.

[timthefish]

awesome. well done by the club.

[dimelb]

Expected (by me anyway) but great news all the same. He will be a gun.

[hammo]

Was never that worried about the Gold Coast but great news for the future of the club.

[Cheer Squad]

Wonderful news for the club. I'm convinced Jesse has the potential to turn into a Matthew Pavlich-style superstar. Roll on the future!

[Jeffers1984]

fantastic news! Onya J-Dubb!!!

[Big Al]

I'm glad he has done the white thing by us.

The Whitings on the wall for you Scott. :eek:

[Trickster]

Was never that worried about the Gold Coast but great news for the future of the club.

Who would be a meter maid when they can be a Swan?
Jessie is going to be fun to watch as he develops as a player

[CJK]

W00t! Great news!

[RogueSwan]

[I]...and only a 2 year deal!?!

That is because he will be an absolute star by then and his next contract can be for big $$'s

[Dave]

Great stuff. The future looks promising. ;)

[Plugger46]

Great news. Clearly my favourite player at the moment - always loved power forwards!

If he keeps his attitude right, he could be anything.

[pig@fullforward]

good news means i can keep my 18 jumper for at least another 3 years :)

[Bear]

Fantastic news.
This is the story of the week.

[JF_Bay22_SCG]

He is our Jason Koschitske I reckon. :cool:

And if the Aints win the flag this season I think you will see a trend towards tall marking full forwards, if there already isn't one already. They do the ruck work in the forward line, can largely stay cloe to go & can beat the flood by using their height to nab kicks from outside 50 than come into the goalsquare.

Oh no...so 6+ years of injury prone @@@@ness and 1 or 2 breakout seasons?

[Bleed Red Blood]

He is our Jason Koschitske I reckon. :cool:


I hope you don't bag commentators for getting players names wrong.

[Jeffers1984]

I hope you don't bag commentators for getting players names wrong.

:D

[RogueSwan]

I hope you don't bag commentators for getting players names wrong.

Maybe a Jason Blake/Justin Koschitzke blend?? Nah, I would prefer a Brett Judd or Chris Kirk. :p

[Nico]

I'm glad he has done the white thing by us.

If he had gone it would have been a White Out.

[Primmy]

If he had gone it would have been a White Out.

Its not going to stop is it. I am over it. Too much white noise.

[BSA5]

White ake a break now? Surely it's just getting started!
