    I am fairly confident he will too.

    All of ANB, Chandler, Kozzie, Spargo, Sparrow, Billings and McAdam will want to have very, very good preseasons.

    Our forward half will be very dynamic if everyone is up and running

     

    Totally agree, the competition for those spots will be immense.

    Also thanks for playing along with my nickname project of 'Dirk', even if you didn't mean to. I'll be doing everything possible to make this one stick.

    I’m sure this comparison has been made already but Sestan and Tholstrup are, on paper, remarkably similar 

    Mid sized forward ✅

    X factor ✅

    Size (188cm V 186cm) ✅

    Powerful frame ✅

    Great kick/High footy IQ ✅

    Mullet ✅

    This dynamic duo could be a whole lot of fun for us to watch

    Point being?

    His pressure acts, 1%ers, effort, gut running, etc. border on elite, but you’re mad if you think he shows composure with the footy in hand. If he could consistently execute under pressure he’d be AA.

    Point being?

    His coaches, full time professionals working at the elite level, judged him to be our 6th best player.

    He finished 9th in the bluey in 2022 and 6th this season. Back to back top 10s in the b&f of an AFL club that finished top 4 is an objective measure of excellence.

    It's plain silly to think he finished 6th only because of his pressure acts, 1%ers, effort and gut running. 

    I mean c'mon, it's elite level sport, not the local footy club handing out votes to the bloke who is a real trier and always does the barbie.

    And without being facetious, the assessment of an AFL coaching staff holds more water than the vibe based assessment of random footy forum posters.

    Mad if I think he shows composure with footy in hand?

    Did you miss the part when I said he was our best kick inside 50 in terms of kick to score ratio?

    Sure that probably says something about his teammates, but nonetheless hard to top that stat without showing composure with ball in hand.

    I think Sestan is one of the most talented players we have. he also gets the ball the least unfortunately. hopefully his second year is the year for him.

    Watch the Taylor interviews. He's a HFF now likely to become a mid. That's what they're projecting for him. 

     I would like another forward who can play mid, rather than mids playing half forward like we do.

    When I first looked at Koltyn with the sunnies and hair I immediately thought of a young Brett Lovett, Brett was a lot shorter but he had that look about him. Koltyn has that look about him (eir of confidence) that will make people take him seriously. Lucky us.!!!

    100% Agree.

    Bailey from the Lions is the perfect example of the sort of player and role that the Colt could fill for us.

    High half forward who can get up and down the ground, hits targets, wins his own ball, can kick goals and when required can also go into the middle. 

    The alternative is players like Sparrow and Jordon who can play as pure mids when required (eg to give our starting mids a chop out) but don't look natural forwards when resting at half forward flank.

    On the upside, Koltyn appears to be twice as fast as Brett, perhaps a better kick finding targets and just that little bit more likely to mark, not spoil and play on into the path of the ball; if he turns out to be half-three quarters as good he's going to be a champion. Welcome to the Club of clubs, young man.

    Have we come up with a nickname for him yet?

    I do like the Kenny Powers connection.

    He [Sestan] came from nowhere, has had one preseason at AFL level.

    Really looking forward to seeing him develop after a year on our list and two preseasons.

    This is a fallacy that keeps getting trotted out by many supporters. We have not finished in the top 4 this year or last. 2021, 22, 23 = 1st, 5th & 6th respectively.

    Old mate called him that in kindy and it's followed him to every club since, so we'd better keep it going.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
