Looks a bit like BLUEY and Go dees have signed off without saying thanks to the posters that provided accurate positive answers to their ignorant assertions. Par for the course.

    The benefit of a rookie is that the first 100k of their wage is not counted in the salary cap. ( I was yesterday-years-old when I discovered this!)

    Assume that the Dees will nominate Kalani in the rookie draft today.

    I do think it would have been good to call Kalani White rather than Pass with that pick 56. It would have been a nice position to add him to the main list. Nevertheless no dramas. Let’s give him the handshake today.

    We have 2 spots on the rookie list. One for White the other will be for a train on player. Sinnema will be one of them, I'm sure they will pass on pick 5.

    As they passed on pick 4, does that mean we have two senior spots available too?

    Maybe a rookie to be uplifted, creating another rookie spot and keeping one senior spot for later use.

    We really are turning over the list, as 4 if not 5 players, in Melk, May, Tom, TC and maybe McAdam are looking likely to finish this year and possibly more.

    Salem, Viney, Lever and Max are not that far behind.

    No rookie him. its a lot different on the books and we have 3 senior, mature ruckmen ahead of him on the list. let him develop, no pressure, then in 2 years we will have a much stronger idea whether he will make it.

    Yeah. I guess it depends if we like someone such as Ollie Greaves or 2 -3 others. It's much better to look at train on players and go to the SSP but you also have the chance that other clubs take the player you are after in the rookie draft.

    Why the aggression? Why the misrepresentation?! You do understand what the 'thumbs up' icons mean? 😯

    Took a while but he's finally here. Here's hoping he can be even half of what his dad was.

    His vision shows that he thinks the game quickly, good hands, nice kick, plus leap. Could be a slow burn but has potential to be a unicorn type?

    Finally after 55 pages of yearning for Jeff’s boy, Kalani has landed in the Red and Blue, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. Welcome home young man, really looking forward to watching you develop and reach your full potential at the Dees but don’t take to long.👍😁

    Willem Duursma and Killarney both played for Casey for a game or two in 2025.

    Killarney probably did more.

    Yeah nah lol.

    Durrsma was far more consistent and dominant then White in the VFL.

    Kalani looked a bit lost in his first VFL outing (understandable) until the final quarter where he kicked two goals and took some important marks around the ground.

    Definitely showed enough to suggest there's something to work with.

    Just a little off-topic p.s. to that vid: Chin's sign-off is a very able, confident one. He's got a bit to offer, I think; more than 'Well, being...' Jack and certainly trapped-in-headlights Jake!

    Back on topic, welcome, at last, 'Killarney' (🍀😄)

    I am not expecting much from this selection. The worry for me is that no other club showed any interest in him. I know he nominated the MFC but if he was showing a lot of promise at junior level there would have been one club to take him. From memory his father was a first round selection.

    It was nice to see Kalani at the W today. Luker picked him up from the airport and brought him straight to Ikon. I told him it was cool that he didn’t wanna go straight from the airport to home (home being Geoff Porz’s house, with Luker and Laela Ebert) and he said it was a pity he missed the first quarter but that’s just how the timing of the flight went. Supporting our girls from the moment he landed ❤️💙

    • 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.

    • 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.
