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.

academies yes definitely , fs no

    I think he is considered a little bit position-less. Not quite a forward, not quite a back and only recently showing signs as a ruck.

    I see that as a blank canvas to work with. But one club that I know of thinks he will take a fair bit of time and has average hands.

    I’d be rapt to get him though. He can kick, elite athlete and apparently has a good head on his shoulders. His old man overcame what I would say, were not elite hands overhead, by jumping over blokes and taking chest marks. Kalani could do the same.

    We can also expose him to the work habits and expertise of the greatest ruckman of the last decade.

    There’s no downside here.

    Here, no downside.

    I really hope young Kalani nominates the Dees. The red and blue blood is his veins. ❤️💙 He’s a quality youngster. But we would need to give him time to develop.

    Suns already have Dylan Patterson and Beau Addinsall as more young midfielder stars to add in their academy intake as both are definitely 1st rounders.

    Zeke Uwland is the best of them. Expected to be top 5.

    Over the past 5 years maybe even decade, Melbourne have been exceptional at drafting our future stars. There's been a slight pattern in the Dees picks leaning towards more mids and even a few pickups for our defence. Kalani White, son of Jeff White, who is playing in the Gold Coast Suns academy does have the farther son opportunity to be taken by the Dees. He's 199 CM tall, agile and can take an amazing mark (shades of rookie Max Gawn). Also helps that Jeff has hinted to us that he'd love to see his kid in the colours he played for on social media.

    Also mentions of Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves a wing/forward player has the same skill set to Caleb Windsor who could potentially be a massive pick up.

    Is Noah linked to us?

    A perfect fit for the current match committee - he can start back, go OK, so be thrown forward and ruck until he goes well there then be thrown back again, or dropped.

    His career could be ruined in a season or two.

    😡😡😡

    White is looking more like late draft pick or picked up in the rookie draft. Not tracking as a top 50 prospect.

    Has been named to play for Casey tomorrow night as the 23rd player.

    Forgive my ignorance but is there a sub at VFL level?

    No sub rule in the VFL. I believe the 23rd spot usually goes to U18s players or players from local leagues. Essendon also have an NGA player named for them this weekend in Adam Sweid.

    Sorry, but I have to take exception to that comment… it should read, the greatest ruckman of all time!!

    I have never seen White play but reports don't seem wonderful. We could be the only bidders.

    At the pre-Christmas Saturday morning park run and sausage sizzle, he was signing as #34 Kal White> Funnily enough, when I said that's your dad's number, he quickly replied, "It's mine now"

    A real athlete and a project player. Needs a fair bit of size which will come in the AFL system. Certainly a lot to work with.

    I hope he selects the Dees.

    We only have Gawn, TC and Verrall at 199cm plus so room for Kalani.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      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 final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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?
