Liam Reidy is the one we should look at end of 2025

Would be nice to pick something out from Flogmantle rather than them attacking our list all the time

    Anyone seen anything to suggest KW is any good?

    Yep, smooth mover, good footy brain, good skills at some of the preseason sessions I saw.  Also a tall lad who will fill out over time.

    really?

     I was always a Melbourne fan my whole life. I’ve always had the red and blue on me. After that [2021] Grand Final, it was an unreal experience. Seeing my dad emotional, it holds a special place in my heart

    if he doesn't pick mfc then we've really done something wrong

    What position does he play?  Please say "forward"

    he plays 'tall' - wants to be a fwd / ruck but can also play key back, as he did last year; think mac andrew / the de koning bros / sam darcy

    he's nowhere near as credentialed as the latter at the same age, but is ahead of mac or either de koning bros in terms of underage representation etc.

    also, again, i think it's worth reiterating that if gc17 make finals they are only entitled to pick 2 out of 4 (if you include white) academy selections available in 2025

    there's no way they're not picking zeke uwland (most pundits rate him a top 3 selection, if not pick 1) and whose elder brother is already at the club, while beau addinsall was bog in last year's 'futures' game and seems to be another pointy end pick

    Ok so bring on the Suns 25 finals campaign. Opposite of the Freo deathride...

    I don't want to put any pressure on Kalani White.

    Let him have fun and enjoy his footy this year.

    He still has a lot of development to do.

    He can make up his mind at the end of the season.

    You'd think he hasn't come forward to state his preferred club because if he says us, then he may not be able to be part of the Academy program. Also if he wants to stay up north he could come out and say his preferred club are the Suns. Therefore I'm hoping he picks us as he'll have Gawny as his mentor and play forward ruck for us like his dad. Secondly the Suns have another couple of Academy players that are ahead of him, how can they pick them all.

    Camporeale twins went to Carlton from SA, rather than try their luck in the draft and maybe have an SA club select them.

    tl; dr - some minor talk that Kalani might pick the Dees as there’s more opportunity for him given the logjam of tall options at gc17

    We certainly will be desperate to find our new Gawn.

    FWIW - he can enjoy his football and commit, am getting mixed signal from watchers - some saying he is being rated on his Dad's credentials and others saying he is a talent in his own right (beyond his height) anyone care to comment on work ethic? observations on that are interesting to me, I would kind of expect him to still be a baby giraffe at his age/height, more interested in knowing he has that hunger.

    At the pre Christmas captains run I had a chance to chat with him as he was standing alone with most sponsors unaware who he was. He is such a level headed athlete. He towers over me, as you can see and I am 180 cm. He is 200 cm and still growing, can jump 2 metres  and signs autographs  "Kal White #34". He was happy to talk about his dads exploits and was quick to point out he has his dad covered in all the metrics mentioned ie height (he is taller), leap(he can jump higher), athletics (state rep) and jumper number (draw from that what you will). He is currently playing as a key back and has a burning desire to play AFL . He did not look out of place training and was delighted that a supporter knew who he was. He is very much his own player and certainly not relying on his dads abilities.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
