The Kalani White Thread

Tom Morris reporting he will nominate the dees. Is more opportunity with us, the Suns have a bunch of young high pick tall key position players.

I think the club needs to be commended on the way they have supported Kalani and make him feel comfortable.

    Dees or Suns? Father-son prospect closing in on huge draf...

    “He's seen as a great prospect.”

    Morris also said that most judges think he’ll fall somewhere between 20-40

    So he’s not going to be ‘free’ per se, but will need some points matching

    I rate White in the late 40s in this draft. He has upside but there is still plenty of talent in this draft that should get picked before White. Let’s hope he lasts through to at least the 3rd round or after.

    This year the points system for matching father/son and academy picks has been changed and the relevant discount of points to be used has dropped from 20% to 10%. Whilst that makes it more expensive for us to use points to match a Kalani bid - those changes apply in spades to the Gold Coast, so perhaps they could not have fitted Kalani into their plans, given their other targets.

    KW is interesting. I'm very hopeful we get him and it seems like a fait accompli at this point, but in a lot of the Power Rankings products across various bodies, he doesn't seem to even fall within the Top 50; so to see him mooted as falling potentially in the 20 - 40 band is surprising. I haven't watched really anything from the state leagues nor the various talent leagues, so this is potentially somewhat of a naïve view and I'm happy to take the advice of more seasoned posters on this though. Also, given my interpretation is that if he is falling in the 20 - 40 range includes the dearth of current Academy picks and F/S selections (outside of KW), it really seems his value would inflated.

    Clever by dees, getting Kalani to tank this year so we get him for cheap 😉

    reckon at 3/4 time of his first vfl he got given permission to go hard?

    cos he did

    that quarter alone was super, super encouraging for his future

    Pick 20 is effectively first round. Even 40 is bottom second

    I'd be amazed if a "project player" goes higher than third round unless some club wants to push us away from our second round choice so that they can get that player in the third round.

    My worry is that we dilute our second round choice with swaps to lesser picks in fear that someone will take him second round.

    We always seem to overpay one way or the other

    Nah, don't rate him at all. Depth for Casey

    😉

    • 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?

    • 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.
