PS I always wondered, but never saw, if Jeff could have been a CHF for us.

If Jeff played in 2024, he'd be a perfect second ruck / key forward IMO.

He was always a beautiful kick.

 

Without wanting to put too much of a dampener on his weekends performance, I just looked up the scores and his team demolished the opposition 23.12 - 153 to 0.1 - 1.

I posted in the trade thread recently, but it seems more appropriate in Kalani’s thread.

I saw him in the Vic M v QLD at Avalon airport Oval. Where he played pretty much full back on Vic M’s key forward and was on/off the bench. 

Kalani moves just like his old man, has a massive leap, he made a number of spoils defensively. A good experience for him being bottom age. 
 

His opponent did lose him a few times, but with minimal damage. 
I would have liked to see him up forward for QLD. I think he can play both ends and with growth he’s an obvious mobile ruck option (Jackson mould) too. 

I know there’s no comparison but he reminded me a little of Darcy Moore down back. 
 

As for the academy players - there were plenty in both the QLD and NSW/ACT teams - the four northern clubs are in good hands which is why the Vic clubs may seem a little ‘up in arms’.

Kalani more like Kala-knee

Who kicked the other 17 snags?

Hope they weren't junk time goals.

If Jeff White played perm forward today he'd have 50 goals pretty comfortably. Would make Peter Wright look like a right carthorse.

Believe it or not, a young kid by the name of Benjamin Brown kicked 7 😅. Even spread after that.

Did see him in the Melbourne change rooms on Saturday so here’s hoping!

Surely that's a good sign given the opposition!

Would’ve been good for him to see Vines and Gawny with their eyes rolling in their head blowing steam from their nostrils prior to dismembering the Suns.

Four FS players worthy of pick 1 will be running around in the AFL for the next decade o more - Daicos, Darcy and 2x Ashcroft.

If Kalani doesn't come to the Dees i'll be absolutely filthy.

Grandson played for the opposition (Mt Gravatt) and they only had 17 players. He kicked 4 the week before and played forward again but the ball hardly got down there and the point they got was rushed so wouldn't get carried away with Kalani kicking 6 for Broadbeach. From all accounts still got a way to go but he is only young and hopefully will keep improving.

It's possible he also spent time with the GCS mob as well on the day. He must know many in the team


He's in Gold Coast's Academy program so I expect he knows all of them

I did hear Jeff W on the radio saying Kalani thought better of wearing his Demon jumper to the game.

I'd say he will be a Dee but Jeff likes playing the game a bit

the fact that twins elected not to be part of the gc17 academy at first chance - this year - indicates to me that kalani won't be staying up north beyond 2025

And living vicariously through his son sporting achievements...

Nothing wrong with being a proud Dad! At least he’s actually been there and done it, rather than parents who never had any sporting talent pushing their kids.

Not at all but he's doing a better job than a lot of agents currently!


No pressure on Kalani.

Let the young fella play and have fun.

Still another year or two of development.

Hypothetically it would be a very special moment to see his Father Jeff White give Kalani the number 34# guernsey for the Demons and continue the proud tradition of the Father-son rule at the Melbourne Football Club.

  • 3 weeks later...

What are the implications on this year's draft, and potential trade of next year's picks on positioning MFC for Kalani's potential F/S selection?

How does the potential GCA positioning impact that?

Hope Kalani watched the final last night with all of the empty seats in the stands. GC would be the same if they would ever make it. Meanwhile, all of our finals at the G in recent years have been massive crowds (including clearly out numbering Geelong and Hawks in 2018).

Get the same pay to play with your mates or move 2hours away from family and friends? Not sure the size of the crowds is a massive thing for a young player.

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.
