For anyone attending our Gold Coast match (round 8, Saturday the 6th of May), on the following day Kalani will be playing for the Gold Coast Academy vs Sydney Academy.

Kalani told Duxy (Demon Army Royalty and all-round nice guy) that he would “love if there were Dees fans there to support (him)” which there will be since the DA members who’ll still be there on the Sunday will be attending his match. Attendance by any and all Dees supporters would be great!

Kalani’s match will be played at Heritage Bank Stadium on the Sunday. Will advise starting time when it’s known. Meanwhile, here’s a pic taken on Monday night after our match. That’s our Duxy being dwarfed in the middle. 😊❤️💙

    Idk about Duxy’s footy skills but what I do know is that everyone loves him. And everyone knows him. He and I were at a closed training session at Gosch’s one time, behind the goals. Every time a player came to fetch the ball without exception they’d say “hey Duxy” and this also happened at Ikon when we were at the fence watching Casey warmups. Last year I walked with Duxy from the Pineapple Hotel to the ‘Gabba towards an entrance where Perty, Richo, Kate, Stafford and Ooze among others were mingling. Every single one of them addressed him by name and asked after his family etc. He’s a stalwart of the Club. ❤️💙

    He looks very much like the distressed Dee fan they showed sitting in the stands after the Essendon game in 2013.

    That’s him. He doesn’t like that footage, but only because of the memories it evokes. He doesn’t mind a camera pointing his way, does our Duxy. 😁

    We might need to have a new white and brown jumper for the future "family round" the AFL will inevitably bring in.

    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.

    We must keep our entitlements and father/son preferences to ourselves; otherwise, the AFL, The Filth, the Catty Puts and Whoreform will attempt to intercede. I understand Jeff's pride in his son; do we understand the pride we should have in Jeff to point his son in the right direction?

    Oh wow! That’s a serious leap he has on him 

    Just like his father. Jeff was a brilliant high leaping athletic ruckman. The change to the centre bounce ruck rules really removed one of his greatest assets in his huge leap. If Kalani winds up even close to player Jeff was then we’ve got our ruck sorted for after Gawn and Grundy are long gone.

    Just wait for the AFL, whose prime aim in life is to screw the MFC, to again change the rules.  "He plays in SE Queensland so he is the property of GC$"

    (My MFCSS has recurred).

    There's no way he goes to the Suns right? From The Age today:

    Jeff White’s 16-year-old son Kalani turned heads playing at full-back for Gold Coast’s Academy, while Mick McGuane’s son Thomas, Jade Gresham’s brother Tyson, Troy Longmuir’s son Taj, and Bodhi Uwland’s brother Zeke also played.

    White, who is already 197 centimetres tall and super athletic like his No.1 pick dad, is father-son eligible for Melbourne but also tied to the Suns, so a fight to sign him looms.

    The ex-Demon’s twin sons, Kai and Tahj, are also showing promise in the under-12s, including the former being selected for the state team.

    Jeff White is still a mad Dee. 0 chance he doesn’t come to us under F/S if we want him.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
