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.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
