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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
