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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
