in Melbourne Demons

We might miss out on Kobe, but there are other F/S possibilities coming up.

From MFC article May 2018 (so add a couple of years to the ages quoted to see where they are now)

"Watch list: Jeff White's son Kalani, 11, is another the club is keeping an eye on while he plays his footy for Surfers Paradise in Queensland. White also has twin sons named Kai and Tahj, still only seven years old. Adem Yze's son Noah, 12, Aaron Davey's son Marley, 8, David Schwartz' son Cooper, 14 and Shane Woewodin's son Taj, 15, are others on the Demons' radar, although admittedly they are all very young. Defender Nathan Brown also has three sons – Kynan, 13, Jake, 11, a talented soccer player, and Ryder, 9."

    A quick google search shows that he is well and truly a Fremantle recruit in waiting.

    (assuming, of course, he is good enough)

    That's ok, we've got Kozzi now!

    Disagree. There's nothing stopping us to put a bid in on the night if he's worthy. We could have done it for Green (GWS) at pick 3 this year.

    I understand he's aligned with Freo via their academy as well as father/son, I am curious if our father/son still carries any weight with relation to the rules.

    Regardless, any club can bid on him come draft night.

    Yes, but Freo, I believe, will have the right to match any bid on draft night - we won't have that opportunity.

    (If he and Freo make a father/son agreement prior to the draft.)

    I watched the blues brothers on the weekend with the kids. Love that film. My teenage kids didn't know what to make of it. My son couldn't stand the musical interludes. And found it too surreal.

    Like Life of Brian really just a series of connected comedy sketches. But like Life of Brian it works.

    He has the choice to chose if he wishes to nominate with us under Father/Son or nominate with them under Father/Son/Academy. If he chooses us, only we can match a bid. Same if he chooses Freo, only they can.

    It's similar with a Bulldogs player who chose not to nominate with Sydney a few years ago under Father/Son because he didn't want to go there as his family was in East Gippsland and thus Sydney could not match any bids.

    The player has to nominate if they wish to go to a club under the rules of Academy or Father/Son, the club can not nominate for them.

    Note: The Club also has to accept taking the player under those rules for them to nominate a club. Essentially, both parties must agree for nomination.

    Yes, but being part of the Fremantle Academy, living in Western Australia and (seemingly) being a Freo supporter... all signs point to him and Fremantle agreeing to father/son.

    I'm sure when he time comes, we'll pay the farmer family a visit.  But between then and know we need to be far more successful on the field to be viable option in terms of career success.

    Yes I agree they do. At present he's favouring towards them but that shouldn't stop us working to get him to select us over the next couple of years. On field success should certainly help. From reports his father is more of a Melbourne man as well. Even if he doesn't I hope we can work it so if we do indeed bid on him he's not disappointed to come over, e.g. his initial decision was a tough one to make.

    I just hope the club plays the political game and at least works to get in his ear early. If he's that good of a talent we'd be foolish not to.

    If he’s good enough to make AFL, he’s going to Freo. All the developments last year posted in this thread show he’s not coming to us. He already trains with them as part of their academy. He’s a Freo supporter. Nat Fyfe is his idol. He lives in WA with his family. His mother is a Freo supporter, has has health issues, and doesn’t travel to Melbourne anymore for health reasons. When Jeff was interviewed last year, he said he hopes Kobe plays for Freo and can wear his number 33.

    Regardless, he missed the U18 WA team and is speculative at this point.  The only way he’s coming to us is if he’s not good enough to be drafted and we grab him for nothing, in which case he’s not good enough so why bother.

    Speculative rookie pick?

    I'm pretty sure I'm at least 4 years older than I was eight months ago.

    Forget him, he is going to play for the Dockers.  Makes no sense for him to pick the Demons if he grew up in Perth.

    Watched it with my kids too - 12 & 13. Kinda dug it. Been saying, "hut, hut, hut, hut," ever since..." 

    I sure loved it. One of a kind....

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
