I hope we get him for cheap RTG. If the potential is there. You would know more than me. Iā€™m going of what is said on DL

I'm not sure about knowing more Nietaphart. I'm just a bit of a nerd when it comes to father-son stuff and have kept tabs on him.

Any report on how he went today?

Didn't do much.

Kalani will likely take at least 2 pre seasons to be AFL ready. Athletically gifted and he has been around footy a long time.

I am looking forward to seeing him in action with the Dees in 2026.

Why wouldnā€™t he just choose Gold Coast.

Wonā€™t have to move cities and the Suns obviously have a much brighter future.

Pretty sure the Suns will prioritise their more talented academy players over White to the point where I wouldn't be surprised if they overlook him.


Being in the AIS squad is a good start but the kid still has a lot to prove to earn a spot on an AFL list. Early days but I'm not convinced yet.

grown up supporting the club, immediate opportunity to be part of long-term future, significantly behind the pecking order at gc17

It is. Just think some people need to rein in their expectations. There's a decent chance he doesn't end up on any AFL list.

He was AA in the u16s as a top ager. Featured in the first u18 allies championship game as a bottom ager in last year but didn't play any more games.

Hope he has a ripper year and chooses us, I just don't think its a certainty yet.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old sideā€”the Tigersā€”coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking?Ā I mean by ā€œtheyā€ the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.Itā€™s no secret that the Demonsā€™ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack.Ā Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryanā€™s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winningĀ 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
