Had the pleasure of sitting next to Oliver at the MFC season launch function, with Ooze sitting on the other side of Oliver.
 

He commented on the significant step up required in fitness, but said he’d already cut his 2km time, by I think it was 20 seconds, pre and post Christmas. We had a great chat about footy and non footy stuff and he was more than happy to answer questions from everyone else at the table.  Not sure if Ooze is naturally close to all the new draftees, but he clearly has a very close bond with Oliver, based on their interactions that night.
 

I’m watching his VFL season with added interest, really hope he can make it.

Both Goulburn Valley lads so I'm guessing they may have bonded over that when meeting.

Hence why young Harley Reid will slide straight in seamlessly ;)

Seston isn't a Goulburn Valley lad. Born and bred in Melbourne and is a classic city slicker/private schoolboy.

Seston only travelled up for a few games for Mansfield under 18's.

I also really like the look of Oliver Sestan he does have that Jacovich “air” about him, good size at 188cm or 6’2” in imperial terms .  I can see him slotting into an attacking forward line  with Bayley Fritsch, JvR and Matty Jefferson in 2024.!!!

He was interviewed on Gus and Gawny's podcast. Absolute unit.

Have a good feeling about him. Seems like the kind of bloke with a ton of talent but never really took footy too seriously growing up. Putting him into a full time, high standard organisation and he could really come on as a real smokey from that draft.

His highlights remind me a lot of Robbie Gray personally.

A good debut...

The beauty about Casey this season is that it will be the kids with a handful of veterans that are driving the team.

Last season it was the vets.

We may not win it but we will have a good idea on our depth and where the list sits at the end.

Sestan can play.

I he has the will to do it he will be a really good story.

Dane Swan???

willo?

Daz - In my comment I was talking about Yze and Oliver, not Seston.

edit:  I don't really know anything about Seston to be honest.  Why would someone play in the GV when under 18 still?  I get it if you're a senior player and chasing some $$$ but is it common for U/18's to do this??

I'm a tool.  Literally 5 hours later I realise you were talking about Oliver Sestan - not Clayton Oliver (who I was referring to)..... which makes sense noting its an Oliver Sestan thread.

Yep, I shanked that completely.  Apologies for the confusion.

You can take the boy out of the city, but you can never take the city out of the boy!

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
