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.

    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: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
