Strangely he's a Saints supporter?! His friend Lance Collard was drafted to the Saints, so he'll have someone he knows well moving over to Victoria also.

    Same as Riley Hardeman from WA

    Rookie central profile has him at 186cm, 86kgs and above average for endurance. That sounds pretty good for a draftee?

    He is closer to 189cm atm apparently, with a lift in his tank, through 2-3 pre-season's worth of work, he could genuinely be ANYTHING! But before then, he will be a pressure fwd that can finish, yes pls!!!

    I get the Windsor pick but this one has me scratching my head 

    Not sure with the existing small forwards and the addition of those two above this was a pressing need

    Maybe they think he can evolve into a midfielder 

    100% what we are thinking. PLUS, you really can't have too many pressure fwds these days, will put pressure on Chandler/Spargo pretty quickly i'd rkn.

    Ran 6.17 for the 2km time trial which was 10th at the Draft Combine. I think he’s actually a decent runner.

    Got an opinion from a mate involved with West Perth coaching dept. Said he's a very good player and compares him to Daniel Rich.

    Watching his highlights he seems to kick the ball like Rich, low hard with real power in the kick.

    He has the swagger of Brereton. I like him already.

    Hopefully both will turn out champions but I thought we needed a few ahead.Curtin for one could have become a tall back.I also think a young ruck was  the go.Will Green would have suited us nicely as well.

    I know this will sound like sacrilege, but when I first saw some of him, I couldn’t help but feel he likes to hit opponents in a similar way to Viney

    It might be the hair, but also the way he plays, he reminds me of Buddha Hocking. 

    I could live with that.

    Nickname - Whiskas?  🤔

    The same thing was said about Grundy. Every list spot is valuable, and we already have a bunch of experienced players who'll struggle to be best 22.

    Billings hasn't played well for 2 years. What makes you think he'll return to his best?

    What makes you think he won't?

    One side of his family is diehard Saints, the other side is diehard Dees but he’s the black (and white) sheep of the family; he’s mad Collingwood.

    edit: sorry, wrong person. I was thinking this was Caleb’s thread.

    Thanks Nudge that is even better, 189cm is a good height for a hard nut forward/mid with a bit of X factor about him.🔥

    It's the theme song of his junior club in Esperance I believe.

    Koltyn reminds me of the great Allen Jakovich. Full of confidence, plays a tough brand, quick decision making, kicks goals.

    Allen is shorter at 187cm. Koltyn needs another 15 kgs.

    I agree he could be anything after a couple of pre-seasons

    Every stat and bio I have seen says 186 cms, but if you have more updated info,that is good and  I hope you are correct.

    This is critical.

    Says two things - one he is a natural athlete. And two he must be a hard worker.

    I suspect nibbla's 2km draft trial was similarly impressive and i'm guessing the role they have in mind for Koltyn is, like Nibla, the high half forward role.

    As i have banged on about that role has become critical in footy and was a clear need we had to fill (ie another elite high half forward to compliment Nibbla).  

    Appears to have good foot skills too, which is important

    Nibbla has really improved his field kicking and was our best kick inside 50 last season (as defined by kick to score ratio - our three worst were Tracc, Oliver and Gawn).

    Having a player on both flanks who can hit a target inside 50 will be a big positive. 

    Good get.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
