Glad im not the only one that sees this..

I don’t think it’s intentional. He is just a proud dad boasting about his son.  9/10 fathers would do this to some extent.

    I wasn't suggesting it was intentional. That's the problem really. The lack of self awareness. 

    Anyway, I loved Jeff as a player and I don't know the intricacies of the situation, so I'll leave it there.

    Do you reckon we can get Dwayne fired for this hypothetical oblique future racist reference?

    THIS IS WHAT CANCEL CULTURE IS FOR, PEOPLE!

    Good on Jeff for highlighting his son's credits and the teams he has been in. 

    Perhdps a photo of the team instead could be another idea

    To keep everyone updated, Kalani White is currently representing Queensland in the under 15's National AFL Championships here in Lavington. 

    The Queensland team played their first game against Victoria which Kalani played in and had another game against today against ACT. I was hoping to head down to the 1pm game today to watch but couldn't get out of a work meeting.

    Lavi is only a 10 minute drive from my area so I'm hoping to head down on Wednesday to watch against South Australia in the 10am game.

    Just a side note, young Kalani gets involved on multiple Melbourne Demons Instagram pages and gets stuck into trolls bagging the club. It’s brilliant to see he is passionate and loves the MFC

    I love this. Doubt we don’t get him to the club if he’s good. Seems a mad Dees man like his dad. 
    If he’s half as good we would have done well!

    My understanding is that so far he's shown to be a high end talent. Still a lot of water to go under the bridge until draft time, but from what one our development coaches told me today (Murray Bushrangers), he played a pretty impressive game yesterday in the ruck and was jumping all over his opponent in the ruck.

    I think we can be cautious and wait until he comes out with 'White to Brown to black' and then really unload on him. I'm taking odds on it happening.

    Sheeeesh, kid is BIG

    Watched him last month at Lavington in the under 15's championships for Queensland.

    Was able to get up front and close. I would estimate he is around the 198cm mark? Was easily the tallest on the field by a fair margin.

    The scary thing is there is probably more growth in him!

    Don’t say a word about him, or some on here will slam you.

    While you are at it don’t mention Kynan Brown or any other possible future father/son.

    Did he impress? He looked pretty coordinated and athletic is some of the vision from last years grand final.

    He's a very tall kid and looks a talented athlete. Loves the Dees! He'll likely be a father-son draftee if he sticks with footy as a career. Best of luck to him and hope he doesn't feel too much pressure!

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
