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.

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.

How exciting would that be??  Looking forward to the season.

For those who don’t already know…

The ‘h’ in Tholstrup is silent. The proper pronunciation is Tolstrup 👍🏽

Getting to work with Jack & Trac 🤩🤩🤩

Enjoy it young man

Watching this kid it is hard to hold the excitement in check.!!

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.

Nev's 39 looks good on this lad

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!

Koltyn has a massive chance of being nominated for rising star this week

highest supercoach and fantasy score of any rising star legible player not nominated yet

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”. 

[jane02 3,749]

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.

[Swooper1987 3,322]

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.

[adonski 12,427]

Go Kolt

[DeeZone 10,100]

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.

[dees189227 12,398]

His 1st quarter was really good especially when he kicked his first afl goal then backed it up. 

Just keep him in the team now

[dazzledavey36 55,318]

The kid is an animal.

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

My type of player.

[Sir Why You Little 37,124]

Players like Colt could thrive in Pressure games. You can tell he loves it. 
that first quarter should give hime massive confidence at AFL level

[PaulRB 6,411]

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.
