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??!!...)

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
