While several draft prospects this year are looking to land at the club their father once played for, only a couple are following in the footsteps of former number one draft picks. One of them is Kalani White, whose father Jeff was taken first off the board to Fremantle before playing 236 games at Melbourne, which has committed to White junior via father-son rules.

The athletic tall also nominated the Dees having made his way through the Suns Academy. He played a full National Championships with the Allies having debuted last year, while also stepping up to VFL level with the Casey Demons. There, he played three games in the red and blue, including a two-goal return in his maiden outing.

White has impressed for several years with his ability to play in every key position, though has recently settled as a ruck-forward. The new ruck rule changes will suit his style, able to jump early and soar over opponents with his enormous vertical leap, while also proving mobile around the ground. He'll still need to add plenty of size and build on his running tank to become a more consistent and well-rounded player. At this stage, he'll have his name called late in the draft but has massive upside.
