2025 article of interest concerning potential father sons and academy players.

Currently under 15's.

Evidently the White twins are now 14 years old.

Melbourne Academy | Players to watch

We've been following Kalani White since he was 9

Now I just read Brad Green and TJ have sons tearing it up in the u15's. Don't know how those kids don't have 100 page threads.

We have been crucified for our poor skills. I'm backing these kids can kick

We should stay calm on young White. It will take some time for him to become an AFL player. Couple of preseasons and learnings at Casey will help and I hope he does make it and be nearly as good as his old man.

Agree..: will also likely to be a pick in the late rounds

For the young ones. Max is the best ruckman I have seen in 60 years but even he would have struggled to beat Kalanis Dad, Jeff at centre bounces when he came off the old long run up at centre bounces in his prime.

You know that Kal is in the state athletics as a high jumper? He clears 2 metres, which isn't quite Olympic standard but pretty damm good. At a recent training, he was available to talk to and when the conversation came to his dad and his ability to leave, Kal casually mentioned he had his dad covered leap-wise. And in the recent Casey game in Brisbane, he went for a mark that was too early and leapt over the pack. It will be interesting to see if, as he develops some size if he still has that freakish leap.
