I love how time seems to slow down when he leaps for marks.

This should win comment of the year for 2025...

For a guy who hasn't been all that highly rated over the past 12-24 months he certainly passes the eye test

Get him in red and blue, a couple of pre seasons and 10 kgs of muscle added and we might have a good player.

He also has a couple of younger brothers I believe and we know that the younger brothers are often the better players.

Kai and Tahj, approx 4~ years younger than Kalani.

Tahj is currently playing for Broadbeach, unsure of Kai though.

What I think is informative is that they have NOT joined the gc17 academy

I am hoping it’s because they expect to be residing in Melbourne in the next 15-20 or so years…

That’s a great pickup r.e not joining the GC17 academy. I wasn’t aware of that. In saying that, given their age I presume they would still have the ability to join?

Fingers crossed it’s a meaningful nod to Melbourne life as you suggested 😜

I think Jeff spoke about this in an interview and said he didn't sign them up as he wanted them to just enjoy their junior footy atm.

But I agree, fingers crossed the family do think about moving back to Melbourne!

I mean, it’s inevitable

If Kalani nominated us, then the twins wouldn’t be joining the gc17 academy as they’ll be earmarked to join MFC

Jeff's separated with the mother of the boys, so an upheaval would be complicated...

I am sure we would help mum find work and accommodation in Melbourne if Kalani joined us and she wanted to be here with him.

prior to covid, my son was at prahran, a few years above oliver

oliver was so blonde his hair was almost a shock of white - made spotting him zipping around in the 'zones' winning his own footy when he was playing 'up' age groups very easy to see

Yeah Robbo said on the DeeBrief a couple of weeks ago that Greeny’s kid is very much one to watch in a couple of years time…

I’m not even certain Gold Coast could take him if they wanted / they have two players in their academy who will go top 10 well ahead of Kalani so I’m not sure how they could afford them all…

MFCSS kicking in - rule change for 2025 allowing more GCS selections …. 2026 “that wasn’t a great idea, revert to prior rules”. Mac Andrew precedent?


Great news on some potential future recruits. I was watching Kalani over the last few weeks, and noted it’s actually scary how good some of the Suns Academy players are. Suns Academy have three likely top 15 players (with Zeke Uwland definitely being top 5). Others are very very good.

I saw a youngster Max Hudson kick a bagful v Stingrays and noted his name. He reminded me of Daniel Turner. He’s only 6’3 ish but his marking judgement, sure hands and kicking was elite. He’s now kicked 12 goals across his 3 games. One to watch.

I've been keeping a close eye on young Harry McDonald, son of Junior McDonald. Harry plays for Albury Tigers juniors and whilst there is still water to go under the bridge, he's showing really good traits in becoming a handy footballer.

14 turning 15.

First year in the under 16's this year.. Came 4th in the league best and fairest in the under 14s last year.

I’d bank on the FS being dead in the water by then.

Already on its last legs it’ll only take one more top 5 prospect getting to a top 4 club to kill it.

  • 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.
