I'm not writing White off as a player in general.

Very big of you

    it's interesting that cody walker - who is eligible for the baggers as father-son and the tigs as an nga - has declared over 18 months or so out from his draft that he's headed to the former

    obviously a bit different in that he's rated in the top handful of players in his draft, but it would be great if kalani was declarative in terms of his intentions

    Shame we don’t have an early Round 1 for Duursma this year but great that they are lining up for Casey.

    Father-son is pot luck, we'll get our chance at some point. White may make it in the end but I think it's fair to say he's not going to be a game changer for us given his output in the unders right now.

    I think that's wrong to judge at this stage

    I'm more confident if he was living in Vic then it would be a done deal.

    By living up north and, well, 'sitting on the fence' he gets the chance to continue to develop with the Suns lads in all their top notch academy programs.

    At least that's what I'm telling myself

    And historically his old man would have made mince meat of his Carlton opposite.

    If he declared for Melbourne, Gold Coast would cut him out of their academy, the training,coaches, VFL squad opportunities etc.

    The fact he is coming down and playing and training with Casey really telegraphs which direction he is headed.

    That would say more about gc17 than anything

    Don’t think Walker has left tigs nga

    quite the fall from grace to not even get a national combine invite, think its 5 noms out of 18 gets you there and 2+ to get a state based invite (dont hold me to those figures)

    list spots will be fairly tight given the lack of depth so clubs arent going to take many picks to the draft, we can almost rookie him. Sinnema not even invited yet (this was peliminary state noms, more players can be added to that beyond this point. I imagine us and GC17 requested to see KW at the national combine

    Why would another club nominate him? They know he's coming to us or the suns

    We'll lose Kalani now. Why would he want to leave his backyard and miss out on playing for a team on the up.

    mate, yr doing mfcss all wrong; when things are glum there's worse to come

    Due diligence. Teams can still place bids and end up with said player if they club doesn't match. Riak Andrew being an example of this last year when Sydney bid for him late in the national and we passed so we could select Aiden Johnson.

    was so obvious to delist Hore last year take Riak and then rookie AJ... poor once again from Lamb and co.

    and if no bid u take AJ and then can immediately add Riak as a rookie before the Rookie draft

    he's already had a 3rd year added by Sydney within two months of being there

    Needed a 3rd year to cover the suspension he's serving

    Can't believe we've got Riak Andrew melts!

    That’s good news, even if it’s from [censored] Morris. Young Tall stocks are looking pretty bright with JVR, Kentfield, AJ, Derksen, Disco, White and possibly Heath from the saints.

    • 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.

      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.
