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.

    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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
