From the team sheets online it looks like he'll be sporting #50

He should have been given #34 in the Casey strip for tomorrow’s game.

Seriously, why not? Pretty sure nobody else is wearing it.

    Demon shop has run out of 3s following the Kosi re-signing.

    Maybe he doesn't want the #34.

    Probably someone who wants to create his own pathway and journey without the added pressure and expectations. Not every player wants to live in their father's shadow.

    At the pre-Christmas Saturday morning park run and sausage sizzle, he was signing as #34 Kal White> Funnily enough, when I said that's your dad's number, he quickly replied, "It's mine now"

    Absolutely love that reply. Shows he’s got passion and the desire to become a Dee.

    A real athlete and a project player. Needs a fair bit of size which will come in the AFL system. Certainly a lot to work with.

    I hope he selects the Dees.

    We only have Gawn, TC and Verrall at 199cm plus so room for Kalani.

    After seeing the latter two, plus Fullerton in action last Sat night (and the fact that TC is 33/34) I'm banking on Kalani becoming the next White hope.

    Didn't I read somewhere that when he was at one of our pre-season training sessions he was doing autographs with #34 ?

    What ruck prospect isn't a project player?

    Watched the 2nd half of the Casey game tonight.

    Wowee this kid is special. Could easily play senior footy next year if he keeps that form up.

    The athletic potential is raw, but seriously untapped.

    Completely agree. He looked great. And the fact that he kicked two goals will make him feel good vibes about the Dees; I truly hope he comes to us.

    For those who missed it, watch the last quarter replay on afl.com.au. I’m sure someone will upload a highlights package, but it won’t do the quarter justice. It’s the 4th, he’s a 17 year old; and just says come with me boys in the 4th. Kicks 2, contested grabs, but it’s the tap work where he just hits players on the run. His first 3 quarters were worrying and then bam! Comes from nowhere to change up the balance in the middle. If Cooper Duff-Tytler had that quarter, it would be on all the footy shows this week!

    Yeah, a lot to like about his Casey debut. Nowhere near AFL ready, but gets to the right places, marks at the highest point, kicks well and has a natural ruck awareness.

    First time actually seeing him in action tonight. To quote the worst commentator getting around, "Wowee!"

    Obviously needs some work as any 17yo does but he is a rare beast in the AFL world. Almost Luke Jackson like in the last quarter in the way he moves. Same blend of height and athleticism.

    I'm excited.

    First 3 quarters worrying?

    The commentators said he was on limited game time for the first two quarters hence why he got significant game time in the last.

    Weĺl well well as Alice Cooper would say, looked out of his league early and reminded me of a stick insect, but by God and Sonny Jahhusses found his groove. Rucked particulary well and snagged a couple of timely goals. Um message to MFC.... MOVE HEAVEN AND EARTH TO SIGN HIM UP! LUURVE him already!

    The athletic profile is so good for a young tall. He really is like his dad in so many ways; lots of development to come. Raw.

    Worth a spot on the list for 3-4 years to let the talent come through.

    Well done Kalani.

    Shut him down immediately!

    Will be a first rounder if he keeps this form up!

    Lucky we have the (another!!) VFL bye next week, else he'd be playing again, during his 3-week availability during Q juniors hiatus (hope Suns have a bye, too??!!...)

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
