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.

    gosh, he's shrinking. A few pages back on here he got to 204cm.

    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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.

    • TRAINING: Wednesday 18th February 2026

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
