    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.

    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.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet.

Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
