If anyone's still down about what transpired with the Melbourne Football Club late in the season, then read this - Bayswater footballer Ben White wins Eastern Football League best and fairest eight straight times

Ben White is a slightly built 172cm footballer from Bayswater who looks like Ed Sheeren and was recently named the Eastern Football League’s under 17s most valuable player making it eight times in a row that he's won the award for best player in his age group.

AND ...  the gut-busting runner must be a Demon because his favourite players are Melbourne’s Jack Viney and Nathan Jones.

"White’s sublime skills won him two senior games for Bayswater as a 16-year-old late in the season and he booted a goal in each." 

The article says that so far he has been overlooked by AFL pathway clubs put off by his height and underestimating his heart but League scouts will no doubt be looking closely at our Ben White.

Good luck!!!

He must love Caleb Daniel surely. Hope he gets a fair go.

6 cm and 10 kg probably isn't too much to wish for at his age.  Nature + G & D could get him over the line and hopefully it's our line. Good luck Benny boy.

172cm is not too small, could be another Harvey, he was only 167cm

 He might need to do a Clayton Oliver and get his parents to buy a property in a different suburb  try to make a different tac team,  that is one of the flaws of the TAC system you can only get into a team in the zone your living in,  Clayton Oliver would never have made it, if he didn't have parents that had enough money to buy a place in Mooroopna, so he could play for the Murray bushrangers.

Don't kid yourself. Oliver still would have made it. That type of talent does not just shine in TAC. Oliver would have carved it up wherever he went. Some players are just blessed. Oliver is one of those.

He was not even in the tac squad at bendigo, if you are not playing tac no one looks at u, he might of made it but it would taking longer, kids give up when they don't make Elite squads, I know hunt only played school footy but that was private schoolboys where you can get noticed.

Those who give up are not the type who make it in the AFL. Oliver has made it in the AFL. He isn't the type of kid that just gives up - in fact I believe he is the opposite. To suggest that he only made the AFL because his parents bought a house in a TAC squad zone - is ridiculous.
