He is bloody enormous for a 13 y/o. How’s the set shot too - already kicks it further than Spargo.

His kicking action is so fluent and clean.

Trust me coming from someone with  junior coaching development experience, to see that at his age and that height is such a rarity.

His old man was a beautiful, fluid kick of the footy too.

 

How many years until he’s in red and blue? 🤩

For a ruckman he was very fluent. Well ahead of his time.


Another son of an ex ruck continues to excel at his chosen sport. From all reports Tiernan Stynes continues to impress and made the state u/16 metro boys team in 2020 and is part of the state development team this year. Haven’t seen him play but from all reports is a very smooth, highly co-ordinated tall guard. Not sure if he is still playing footy but a cross over from basketball to footy if he doesn’t make it would surely bring a smile to a few Dee’s supporters.

What hasn't been asked is does he have a leap like his old man. No one could jump like White.

But then Spargo isn't 6'3

Seemed aloof didn’t he???

Should have been more excited!!! Acted like a jaded teenager,,, I don’t know why we bother putting any effort in or even getting up in the morning!!??

He’s just gonna go back to GC when he’s any good…

 

Ok, I lost the thread with that last one but you get the drift.

And I say this every Olympic year but “…” is an ellipsis and can be used to assist in paraphrasing or to allude and the end of sentences.

”,,,” is nothing, means nothing and you should be ashamed if you ever use it.

rp out

My mother finally got back to her Art when she retired and her first exhibition was of fine tonal pointilism, titled 'Ellipsis'.

Just thought you'd like the wordplay. That's all.

Also, it is as clear as day that in five years Kalani will be an elite mobile ruckman who will come in at the perfect time to develop flawlessly under the tutelage of then two-time All-Australian ruckman/forward Jackson and newly retire / appointed assistant coach Gawn, with White going on to be the best of the three.

Obviously.

I get the feeling Jeff White wants his boy to be a professional athlete SO badly!

Why do we have a thread about a 13 year old? Seriously lock it and come back in 3 years time at least 

Because he is the son of a former great in Jeff White.

Has the Premiership 8 weeks celebration period dulled your judgement Dee? 


We are definitely trading out our 2025 first round pick for points

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. 

Might want to play bball… or not play AFL…

He’s 15 yeah?

What’s his draft year?

Pretty sure you have to turn 18 the year of the draft. 

He is 14 (May), so will turn 18 in 2025.

Don't we all?

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.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
