kylie pereira

hi all, the experience was awesome, he really enjoyed the players and it gave him an insight on what is needed to be elite. The coaches were happy with what they saw.  Some of the questions that were asked of him was his height, and predicted height. We did a bone test on him about 3 years ago, and his predicted height will be around the 211 cm mark, fully grown. So we keep praying for that. Overall the Melbourne players really got around the academy boys, and made them feel part of the team and we couldn't be more thankful to be part of a great bunch of men.

Hi all, Deakin Pereira is invited back on the 10 January for some more training, looking forward to seeing you all there, Merry Christmas and have a blessed new year.

How about this for a sliding doors moment Scott Pendlebury was about to go to the Australian institute of sports  for basketball, and Patty Mills was preparing to try out for the AFL, Scott Pendlebury knocked back the scholarship, and decided on an AFL career, then it was offered to Patty Mills who took up the scholarship and the rest is history. who's better off?

thanks all for the info,great feed back.

Fancy being 201cm at 17 years and still not the tallest teenager named Deakin Pereira living in Melbourne . . . 

I thought we were being cat-fished - but I think that dude's name in the link is Dau Akol and the photo has been mixed up. 

And that Mrs Pereira was incorrect in stating that Deakin P wasn't pictured above (overlooking the wider shot). 

Now I can sleep peacefully. Except for the remaining question of why everyone is now named Deakin . . . 

 

hi all we spoke to Melton bball and they were sorry about putting up the wrong picture, if you check it again Deakins picture is there. their measurement of Deakin is 203 cm

Unless he's undergone a radical procedure then no.

hi all, Deakin Pereira is my son. He stands around the 201 cm mark. He has just turned 17 in september. He takes a size 18 shoe. He has not touched a footy for nearly one and a half years. We were blessed to come to Train with Melbourne for 3 days and Deakin really enjoyed it. He is a basketballer and there have been numerous offers to play bball in the US. At present we are waiting on offers to go to a prep school in the USA. Deakin really enjoyed the challenge at Melbourne and time will tell if he sways back to AFL. the above photo is not him.
