that's oct 2021

any updates on current height (197 being thrown around but no confirmation)?

No idea on height sorry, just know that he turned 16 in May and will play as a bottom ager in 2024 and draft eligible in 2025.

    He has not been getting in the best players for the Suns Academy players according to the scouting notes on Rookie me Central.

    But he may well be a later developer. Happens all the time especially for the really tall players. Under 16's for perspective.

    Jason Taylor described him as an exciting athlete.

    I think the normal indenture period is till 21. So a few more years to get yourself in order.

    There's no way he goes to the Suns right? From The Age today:

    Jeff White’s 16-year-old son Kalani turned heads playing at full-back for Gold Coast’s Academy, while Mick McGuane’s son Thomas, Jade Gresham’s brother Tyson, Troy Longmuir’s son Taj, and Bodhi Uwland’s brother Zeke also played.

    White, who is already 197 centimetres tall and super athletic like his No.1 pick dad, is father-son eligible for Melbourne but also tied to the Suns, so a fight to sign him looms.

    The ex-Demon’s twin sons, Kai and Tahj, are also showing promise in the under-12s, including the former being selected for the state team.

    Let's hope not, but if the Sun's academy can do some hard work and help develop Kalani that bit more before he gets to the MFC, that would be karma for loosing Mac Andrew to them from our own academy.

    “MELBOURNE father-son prospect Kalani White emerged among the standout youngsters during the recent national under-16s championships, enjoying a stellar carnival in Queensland last week.

    “White, whose father Jeff played 236 games for the Demons, has developed through a talented Suns Academy system and provided plenty of highlights in front of recruiters during a pair of matches on the Gold Coast.

    “The key-position prospect played at either end of the field throughout Gold Coast's campaign, kicking two goals against Sydney's Academy as a forward last Thursday where he demonstrated nice athleticism reminiscent of his 2004 All-Australian father.”

    Jeff White is a very proud Dad!

    I think it's awesome!

    Respect to Kalani too for being a humble young fella.

    Just do your thing Kalani and enjoy playing footy. 😎👍🏻

    The prospect of Kalani may be the most important reason for having an AFL team on the Gold Coast that's ever been put forward.

    Seems fair that we developed Mac Andrew for them and their academy develops Kalani for us!

    I'm pretty excited for this kid and the way our ruck handover may work. 

    Kalani will be available to be drafted Nov 2025. The same time that Gawn's current contract ends where he will be 34. 
    Grundy is contracted until 2027, so we could forecast for Kalani to start getting games by 2028 after 2 years development.

    Why not? The kid obviously has talent and he’s proud of him. I’m pretty sure he’s a single dad too. 
    It would be a beautiful sight when young Kalani gets his jumper and runs out in red and blue on the G!

     

    The father son rule is probably the last remaining tradition in the AFL. I personally love it.

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
