The Kalani White Thread

He's played key defender for the majority of the last two years. Showed potential up forward tonight and given our poor quality tall forward stocks, you'd try him there.

He will be a demon by the way. Bookmark it.

    Could be our Sam Darcy. A genuine 200cm+ forward ruck has been at the top of everyone's wish list for years.

    Looks at home in the red and blue as well

    Kalani will play for Melbourne. I've no doubt. You don't sign autographs as 34 if you're not on the way.

    Historically, it's pretty rare for a major father son not to nominate their father's club. Marc Murphy is the only one I can think of.

    He'll get to Melbourne. Bookmark it.

    Hope you bookmarked it.

    Now it's got to the Casey library, Adam, it's definitely on my Melbourne reading list.

    I think the kids seriously has potential however last night he basically was fresh after spending most of the first half on the bench then played against a young bomber who was cramping by that stage.

    He's 17, its fine.

    He will need to hit the weights room.

    That said, that pack mark he took from the kick out was seriously impressive.

    The bibliophilic equivalent of crossing one's fingers and toes?

    So, with our next number 1 going to Essendon, if he nominates us as his choice, what will be able to give up or have to give up to get him? If someone picks him early how do we match it?

    I thought he showed heaps last night.

    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??!!...)

    we do have a bye but the next game is against the Suns on the Gold Coast.

    I assume from your post he won't be available.

    I gather he's on a 3-week break? If that's the 3rd week, he's got a decision to make!! 😲

    Would be ironic if he played for the Suns against Casey !

    If another club bids on Kalani, we'd have to match the points of that pick, minus a 20% discount. If the season ended today, we'd have 663 draft points. That would mean we can match any pick worth 828 points, so the earliest pick we could match is 19.

    This is all prior to compensation and other bids.

    The points system also changes this year so picks past 55 have no value. In the past we could've just stockpiled some later picks, but we'll likely need to trade for some picks in the 40s to find a few points to cover ourselves.

    A VG last quarter against the peptides.

    Just needs a few pre-seasons and about 8 years in the gym and he'll be right to go.

    He sounded a lot more enthusiastic when talking about the Dees rather than the Suns. He also sounds like his Dad. Fingers and toes crossed he makes the right choice.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
