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: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
