The Kalani White Thread (F/S)

in Trade, Draft & Free Agency

Featured Replies

I think a big tell is that we kept 34 available, we took a 33 year old back up ruckman, we drafted mids and a 194 cm journeyman, back up ruck forward pocket and we didn’t take another key back, a position Kalani also plays.

We didn’t draft or trade in another young ruckman or key defender, areas of need in the coming few years.

That suggests at least, that he or someone else of that type, has given us a commitment to join the Dees.

Then again!

    I think a lot of signs point towards him coming to the Dees, not to mention:

    1. His Dad is a legend of the club

    2. Gold Coast have a lot of talls already locked in for the long term like Walter, King, Andrew, Read & Moyle. He definitely has a better chance with us to lock down a spot early.

    3. The changes in free agency point allocations and also restrictions to number of players available if GC make the finals (big if), means that he would still have uncertainty if he picks the GC. They have 2 other highly touted academy players from my understanding.

    herald sun reporting him as 204cm 😱

    This has been discussed ad nauseum.  He's 200cm.  A while back, a reporter - Sam Edmund - incorrectly converted 6'7'' to cm, another journalist repeated the radio comments in print, and here we are.

    I have a small claim to fame here. His grandad was a rep and I was a client. We got talking that Jeff was wanting to come back to Victoria. The conversation came to Ricky Nixon who I played basketball with. His grandad asked if I thought he was a good agent. I said, yes but know a better one. Ron Joseph. I contacted Ron and he soon took over as his agent and Ron organised the deal to Melb. His grandfather, Gary is a lovely bloke as I am sure Geoff is. Really think we have a beauty with the grandson. Geoff was unbeatable on his day.

    I read that Kalani will be playing more forward this season. That of course is wait and see.

    Let’s see if he can roost one from 50 on the boundary with seconds to go to give us the lead against the doggies

    Was worried 6m ago but right now it’s all pointing our way that’s for sure. Jeff has become much more vocal on dees lately and 34 literally has his name on it. 
     

    Things change but there’s no doubt he loved time at club & that he’s leaning towards his dads legacy and the team he no doubt adores and GC depth at ruck and key def DEFINITELY plays, albeit Witt’s getting on but Moyle is as certain an incumbent as there is!

    My own view is 75-25 atm but again things change and his GC time might blow his mind and pull of the beach he’s accustomed too may win out who knows!

    I still reckon he gave us a verbal prior to last year's draft. No intel, just a feeling.

    The fact he signs his name as Kalani34 is good enough for me. If he does choose GC I’ll lose my cool.

    🆒 lost

    Does he use red and blue pens to sign?

    He's incredibly slight. I'm more in the 3 years before he plays. His kidney's are going to get sick of protein powders that for sure.

    announced on pravda today that the '2 nga picks if you make finals' has been rolled back; four available for the franchises regardless of whether or not they make finals

    lol sounds like the AFL. The amount of rule-making on the run is incredible.

    I assume the changes in points per pick still stays though? Which would make it hard for GC or GWS to match 3-4 players inside say top 20 or so.

    In any case, still confident White chooses us but this does make me slightly more nervous…

    Yep going from 2 to 4 with finals was part of the points allocation change I assume

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
