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.

If you want to take the glass half full approach, we finished in the second-best position available to the top six (after H&A) after finals. Collingwood finished in the best position because they won the flag. For everyone else, second to sixth is meaningless except for the draft position you end up with. Ergo, if you can't be Premier, be sixth.

    there is significant value winning finals even without a flag.

    Koltyn looks alot like Gary Hocking, and with a similar body shape, (was a champion for Geelong in the 1990's, a tough and skilled player).

    Hoping he can have a similar career, with us. 

    I've attached a photo of Hocking

    Agree DS but I don’t think he’s rough around the edges at all. Seems like a level headed respectful young man to me. 
     

    Like everyone I’ve really warmed to him and am hoping for a long and successful career.

    Seems to have a good head on his shoulders! He speaks very well for a young man without any media training..

    Reminds me a lot of Dyson Heppell, who (not withstanding a few faults) has been a very well respected captain despite a terrible haircut when he came in to the system.

    Chop the mop and he’s actually a bright and well spoken country lad. And given he’s a footballer he may as well have a mop of hair if he wants to!

    Enjoyed Kolt’s game today. And also enjoyed, for those who weren’t at the ground to hear it, him proclaiming in an interview with Robbo at the end that he’s “loving the city and the club and won’t ever go anywhere”.

    I love the way he goes in hard and never shirks a contest. Also love that he has a bit of mongrel in him. It’s going to be enjoyable for us supporters to watch him develop. The sky is the limit.

    He played a terrific game today. Great attack on the ball and the man.  Reminded me of Colin Sylvia at his best - aggressive and explosive.  The sort of guy you'd love to play alongside. He'll only get better the more exposure he gets.

    The Kolt was certainly up and about today got us started and I didn’t see him waste a disposal, excellent mark and short kick, loves a bit of rough and tumble.

    The kid is an animal.

    A campaigner that will be the first to bat for teammates and another that opposition supporters will hate.

    Players like Colt could thrive in Pressure games. You can tell he loves it.

    With the mane, agro, talent and strut he’s got a bit Dermott Brereton about him. Hated Dermott as an opposition player, would have loved him in Red and Blue (although that make me vomit a little). 
    Anyway, lots to like about the way the Kolt has started his career.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
