Stuey Dew helping out with goal umpiring at the little leagues on the GC?

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.

[WERRIDEE 5,638]

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.

At this rate he will be over 2 metres shortly.

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? 

[adonski 13,274]

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…

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

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

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.
