This is a great interview with Koltyn Tholstrup on 6PR in WA. Koltyn spoke very well and wants to play Round 1 2024. Arriving in Melbourne on Saturday and at training on Monday. 

Was expecting lots of ‘stoked’ and ‘super excited’ and ‘get around it’ and 18yo kid with a mullet and rude sports sunnies. None of that. Great listen, he sounds like a gem, hoping he can play like one too!

    Unfortunately looks a bit like Dennis Pagan or is it a Hocking brother?

    There is a particular wave front at Esperance allegedly famous among surfers, and known as 'the cyclops'.

    Between that home town detail and the sunnies and being a bit of a beast, I think we might have a name.

    “Kolclops” yes it’s ridiculous but fun to muse over. a nick name.

    I have high hopes for what will become our new Kolt hero. Top 5 prospect last year. Played seniors therefore a role for the team rather than attack free footy at under 18’s. Good height and weight ratio, and has some tricks in his bag.

    Yesterday he told me he was “adapting to Melbourne.” (It was cold and drizzling) and I said, “you know how the saying goes: don’t like the weather? Stick around for five minutes.” He laughed and said, “no, it’s not the weather, I like the weather, it’s the time zone difference.” Bless him. 🥹

    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.

    Do we have to give our double chance back?

    But seriously, the final ladder order is the positions at the end of the home and away season, hence this:

    https://www.afl.com.au/ladder?Competition=1&Season=52&Round=781

    And this:

    https://www.afl.com.au/ladder?Competition=1&Season=43&Round=610

    So we absolutely finished top 4 in 2022 and 2023.  

    You might be confusing the ladder with the draft order.

    Weirdly, i did quick google but couldn't find much detail on this, but i think I'm right in saying the draft order for the teams that made finals is set post finals.

    That’s correct @binman, draft order is set at the end of the season and final placings are confirmed. Premier should notionally hold the final pick of the first round.

    Also, would happily give our double chance back to erase the memory of at least one of those finals losses!

    I don't think that is correct, the final ladder is after the finals and the draft order and the next year's fixture (groups of six) are based on this.

    The Premiers finished first no matter where they were placed at the end of the home and away.

    Brisbane finished second, Carlton third, GWS fourth and we finished sixth.

    Correct, the draft is based on the ladder after finals have concluded.

    So it just depends on how you look at it, we were top 4 after the regular season finished, but finished 6th after finals.

    So technically both are right, just depends how you look at it.

    We were 2nd after Round 8 too. I think the post finals position is what matters. Sure H&A finishing position is important but only because of its influence on the final position.

    Up close the kid looks like he’s got a lot of upside physically once he gets into an elite program. 
    I was expecting him to be thicker through the hips and legs based off his highlights but he is just a lump of clay.

    That’s pretty exciting to think about given he’s already played senior WAFL footy.

    Well explained, it's not that hard is it.

    I may have phrased incorrectly, I think we’re saying the same thing.

    By end of season I was meaning post finals and season in entirety, not h&a season.

    Agreed  try going down to Swan Street on a Richmond home gameday and advise them that the Tigers actually finished 3rd in 2017, 2019 and 2020.

    JJJ - I hope you mean by 'a lump of clay' that he is ripe for molding, rather than being an inert blob which is how some could misinterpret it 🙄

    Definitely the former. 
     

    There are plenty of inert blobs when the former players catch up though.

    Saw that the Kolt is already getting in on the grappling sessions Vines does with his bro and Tom Mitchell.

    Pretty awesome for a young kid to be already putting the extras in! Think we may have a beauty here.

    He reminds me so much of Clarry when he first arrived, strange guy, bit rough around the edges but he's got a bit of animal about him. pretty excited to see what he can become.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
