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!

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
