Great news and hopefully the start of a run of good news items for the club.

Given the comments of the MRC Chairman on the weekend, maybe the Training Base announcement is coming soon.

A few more F/S names in the next few years will also be welcome.

Also let’s not forget, Kalani has some younger brothers who may be good footballers in a few years.

    Very special moment. Let’s hope he follows in his father’s footsteps and becomes a great player.

    Kudos to the club for developing and supporting him for so many years.

    This is the one piece of history and nostalgia that I hope remains forever in the league. It’s such a unique initiative and it makes our game great.

    Well done Kalani. 34 is waiting for you!

    The amazing thing about this kid is that since the announcement was made yesterday, he's grown from 198cm to 202cm.

    In January Kalani told me to “Watch out for Taj” (his younger brother). ❤️💙

    If they make it in extra large, shouldn’t be a problem, as that would be a tent on Toby.

    I’m guessing Toby wore #34 because there wasn’t any other numbered jumper available. It fit him well so clearly they’ll have to make a bigger one for Kalani.

    Earlier this year I came up behind Ricky Mentha and asked him why he wasn’t wearing his own number. He said he was. I said no, you’re wearing #34. He said sch!ttt, I picked up the wrong jumper! All the boys laughed, then Woey Jnr asked, “Who’s number 34?” I said, “Kalani White” which was met with cheering and clapping from everyone ❤️💙

    We should stay calm on young White. It will take some time for him to become an AFL player. Couple of preseasons and learnings at Casey will help and I hope he does make it and be nearly as good as his old man.

    I liked that they gave Toby a number from the 1-50 (thanks again, BBB!) Melbourne-list series rather than one from the Casey 51+ series

    Such great news for the club and relief for Jeff, fancy having to barrack for Gold Coast. Thanks Kalani and Tim Lamb for bringing this about, we have all been tracking Kalani since he was a baby. His dad took three years to mature and hit his straps and what a great footballer he turned out to be. Feeling really chuffed about Kalani’s choice provides a bit of a lift for the whole club.👍❤️💙

    I think we should look at him as a longer term project - give him the time to develop at Casey with no pressure to come on in the firsts for a couple of years. He is not the messiah. Look at how the Bulldogs have developed their f/s talls in the 2’s and then they come in and smash it!

    I'm personally rapt that he chose to come to us as his preferred option. Welcome Kalani Let's make the Dees a Force again. May take a little while but let's hope from this year on we are all amped again.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      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.
