Dare to dream Demon fans, by all accounts he is a ripping young fella. Will be taller that his dad, let's hope he has inherited  Jeff's incredible leap, athleticism and beautiful kicking action. He certainly looked good on his under age video highlights. A mouth watering father/son prospect for the mighty Dees under the tutelage of Captain Max and our merry band of coaches. 

Don't worry about that. I read somewhere on  here he is breaking schoolboy high jump records.

Only risk is the lure of basketball. Pays better and has the potential of representing country. 

Also a much much harder sport to succeed in at the highest level. 

It's a risky move to pick basketball over AFL in Australia unless you are an absolute A+ talent with a future in the NBA.

I can't understand the pay grade in the NBA.

Patty Mills has shot the lights out in now what is an increasingly 3 point pame.

Ben Simmonds can't even make a free throw and isn't what I would call a culture maker.

I reckon Jason Taylor could go over and recruit with the same principals.

Interesting to note Ben Simmons' draft profile in 2016:

1. Simmons' lack of competitiveness in some crucial games has raised questions about his character as a basketball player. - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Ben-Simmons-61928/ ©DraftExpress

if his high school high jump records are true, i think the aoc is a bigger threat - by the time the 2032 olympics roll around in his home town of the gold coast he'll be cherry ripe to claim a medal

he'll play for us.

relax aye.

The Olympics will take place out of season. He can do the high jump, play NBL for the Brisbane Bullets and ruck for the Dees in the same calendar year.

Yet in that last footage Jeff shared he was really nowhere near dunking the ball in an open lane ?  (Jeff mentioned the nearness, which makes it seem not so common). 6.5 - can't dunk - something is wrong with this picture.


Pretty selfish lad to be honest, some people aren't good at 1 sport and he's good at 3.

Nearly ever kid that gets drafted are good at any sport they play and usually need to make a call between sports around 15 years old.

Kids heights are off the charts, I was at a U15 netball event a couple of weeks back, Association level, I'm 180cms and the girls in the shooter, keeper roles all stood over me most would have been around 185-190cms at 14/15 years old.

Be interesting to see how this guy develops playing in QLD the junior leagues are a lot weaker than Vic/SA/WA comps.

Feeling I get as well.

Some parents like to go about it in a quiet way and enjoy the journey with their kids, and some like Jeff love to let the whole world know about it and live through their kids own glory.

I know a few parents like this also.

Nothing wrong with parents who support their children at their sport and give them the proper encouragement. It’s those who take the next step beyond that and become controlling who are the major problem. Remember Jelena Dokic's father Damir Dokic. He was a nightmare and probably destroyed her career.

Looks like he will be ready to take over from Gawn playing in tandum with Jackson when Gawn plays as a forward in place of Brown.

Looks like Melbourne is going under the radar with our U14-16's Academy - no other club will find our talent because they now spell Academy as Acadmey - brilliant ploy by the dees :-)

Jeff White just posted these pics of his son who is turning 9 this year. 

What do you guys think

Another F/S on the way?

Turns 17 in 2024 could be a F/S gun by then fingers crossed.

 

Gee, I hope I don't pressure my son like this...

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
