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.

 

I too would have loved Brereton in the red and blue - if for no other reason than he would be denied the chance to gloat about winning 5 flags.

    Balanced, strong, aggressive - what is there not to love about this gem from Esperance?  He sounds as if he loves the club and having JV7 as his early mentor has him on a very solid grounding.  

    Looking forward to many more exciting moments from the Kolt - can see him as a powerful mid in due course.

    His set shot kicking looked confident and controlled.  Has he been watching JVR?

    Rare match at the G for me. Seeing this young lad go to work in the flesh was my highlight. Topped off with a great post game interview on the ground and in the rooms. What a legend

    Spot on - on all counts.

    He's the love child of jackovich and Brett Lovett.

    i had checked the tracker and was surprised how quick he is (note: average speed in attack is running when we have the ball).

    And clearly a super hard worker, as evidenced by topping average speed in defence (note: running when the opponents have the ball - the best indicator of work rate and spread).

    Love this chart, wish you could see more players. No Eagles is quite damning, shows where they're at... a lot of rumblings that the players have given up on Simmo and this would suggest it's true.

    Sparrow goes ok both ways too. Definitely a hard worker, clearly playing a defensive role in the team. 

     

    Also Kolt has to get the rising star nom this week.

    he has incredible enthusiasm for the contest - after one of the roo f50 marks he first pumped like crazy, and after high fiving someone else he turned around and went to high five...a meth coke player

    It’s infectious isn’t it? Disco Turner is the same: loves the contest and loves kicking a goal.

    Yep.

    I have seen some posts calling for Sparrow to be dropped.

    I think what his critics perhaps don't factor in is that he is given specific roles.

    And far from goody playing favourites he's a best 22 lock because he does the jobs goody asks him to do.

    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.

    Fully agree. That entrée of '...a bit of mongrel...' will be very handy in each match that he plays (it would be great if it was contagious amongst teammates, as well). He has a variety of rapid-action skills - for example, his successful snap for a goal against Weagles, his line of contact with opponents and a developing ability to last-second tackle (neutralising those in his way - or those of a teammate). Like the lad; experience at that level is going to do freakish things for him as time rolls by. He shapes as a prescription addition to our team and it will be sheer delight to watch that ongoing development.

    Binny, do you know what those roles are? If yes, could you please explain, as it’s not so obvious to me. Also, is he “succeeding” in those roles, and could you suggest someone else who might play those roles instead - ie why Sparrow? Ta.

    Similes with the above for The Kolt are terrific; I particularly like the Dean Chiron comparison. Fingers crossed for the future as quite a few of us can see longer-term workhorse in his inauguration.

    Is this a genuine question froggy?

    I ask because it feels a bit like a gotcha, set up question.

    • 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.
