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.

    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.

    They can if no one places a bid on them in the national draft.

    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.

    • 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.

      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?

      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.
