By the time he finishes growing, he'll be taller than Bowey standing on Spargo's shoulders.

We are rebuilding while we still are competing for finals.

Exciting times ahead hopefully.

 

Your height changes over the course of a day due to gravity and its effect on the vetebrates in your spine. If he's exactly 200cm in the morning he will be less than 200 cm for night games!

Unless he spends all day lying down... or hanging upside down! He may be 204cm by 7.20pm bounce

 

JT said Kalani had terrific athletic ability and his football steadily improves. That is good enough for me.

I've watched him in the flesh at the under 15's stats national carnival when he represented QLD.

He's an athlete for sure but was pretty raw at the same time as most tall players that age. You could see those athletic traits indeed but at the time watching his performance, he didn't do much that got me overly excited, but that level isn't about who's going to be the next AFL star. So much water to go under the bridge.

The thing with Sam Darcy is that it was his last year of top age that really put him at the top end of draft calculations. Had a number of big games early on the 2021 season with Oakleigh Chargers and School Footy that really got recruiters talking.

Just remember with Sam Darcy, he missed out on under 16 selection for Vic Metro where as Kalani White was an All Australian defender at that level.

So just goes to show why you can't exactly determine a young players full talent at minor junior level.

I don't think anyone knows what they're talking about. Who cares if he's a good defender at Under 16s level.

It so feels like a done deal… doubt he’d be posting this if Kalani was considering GCS.

And he looks so much like his dad at a similar age uncanny but 5cm taller. I will remain confident that Kalani White will be a Demon, No If’s But’s or Maybe ‘a.😁👍

His dad seems to basically be his player manager it seems and will be doing everything he can to promote him and ensure he gets on a list.

Can a club basically draft someone with the intention of immediately increasing their contract (in terms of length and dollars) to try and win their favour?

Obviously if gets drafted say late first round, he'd be on a 3 year deal at the generic $X amount.  What would happen if there is a hand shake agreement from GCS or us to say 'Agree to us and we'll lock you in for another 2 years and bring the back ended payments to year 1'

Are things like this discussed when kids have multiple options?

if we tried this you know we'd be busted, stripped of picks for the next decade, and be forced to trade every player on more than $500k a year for pennies against the pound

gc17 have at least four academy selections in in 2025, including two rated top 5 in the draft, and if they make finals they're only eligible to pick two of them

it is hard to picture kalani as a priority for them over the likes of zeke uwland, beau addinsall, and dylan patterson

As long as we do it better.

If my kids had have been offered deals, I would have wanted them to  prove themselves worthy.


Has there ever been a player in history where the colours did not look good on them?

Pies and Lions did something similar with Daicos and the Ashcrofts. AFL changed it so you need to wait until rnd 6 to formalise it, but it's not against the rules.

LIONS IN LEVI TALKS

NEGOTIATIONS continue on an agreement for father-son prospect Levi Ashcroft, with the AFL's new rules and uplift in total player payments making it potentially a landmark deal for an undrafted player.

As previously done with the likes of Collingwood's Nick Daicos, Essendon's Joe Daniher and Ashcroft's older brother Will at Brisbane, father-son prospects are able to essentially agree to longer contracts than the AFL's standardised first deals when they commit to nominating as a father-son in their draft campaign.

Daicos, in 2021, and Will Ashcroft the following season, both agreed to two extra years with their respective clubs as four-year deals, worth approximately $550,000-$600,000 in the third and fourth years. Daicos has since had his deal extended to be close to $1 million a season through to his free agency at the end of 2029.

The AFL's changed rules last year as part of the new collective bargaining agreement mean that top-20 picks are now locked in on initial three-year deals and that extensions can't officially be lodged and approved until after round six the following year. 

However, 'handshake agreements' can be discussed, with the younger Ashcroft situation looming as a test case for the game's era of 'new money'.

If it makes you feel better - I definitely don’t know what I’m talking about.

All the Carlton players in the light blue M and M  jumper some years ago looked pretty rank.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
