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!!!

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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
