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

    I note we are on page 34, the same number Dees' jumper that is vacant this year.

    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: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
