Strangely he's a Saints supporter?! His friend Lance Collard was drafted to the Saints, so he'll have someone he knows well moving over to Victoria also.

    Same as Riley Hardeman from WA

    Rookie central profile has him at 186cm, 86kgs and above average for endurance. That sounds pretty good for a draftee?

    He is closer to 189cm atm apparently, with a lift in his tank, through 2-3 pre-season's worth of work, he could genuinely be ANYTHING! But before then, he will be a pressure fwd that can finish, yes pls!!!

    I get the Windsor pick but this one has me scratching my head 

    Not sure with the existing small forwards and the addition of those two above this was a pressing need

    Maybe they think he can evolve into a midfielder 

    100% what we are thinking. PLUS, you really can't have too many pressure fwds these days, will put pressure on Chandler/Spargo pretty quickly i'd rkn.

    Ran 6.17 for the 2km time trial which was 10th at the Draft Combine. I think he’s actually a decent runner.

    Got an opinion from a mate involved with West Perth coaching dept. Said he's a very good player and compares him to Daniel Rich.

    Watching his highlights he seems to kick the ball like Rich, low hard with real power in the kick.

    He has the swagger of Brereton. I like him already.

    Hopefully both will turn out champions but I thought we needed a few ahead.Curtin for one could have become a tall back.I also think a young ruck was  the go.Will Green would have suited us nicely as well.

    I know this will sound like sacrilege, but when I first saw some of him, I couldn’t help but feel he likes to hit opponents in a similar way to Viney

    It might be the hair, but also the way he plays, he reminds me of Buddha Hocking. 

    I could live with that.

    Nickname - Whiskas?  🤔

    The same thing was said about Grundy. Every list spot is valuable, and we already have a bunch of experienced players who'll struggle to be best 22.

    Billings hasn't played well for 2 years. What makes you think he'll return to his best?

    What makes you think he won't?

    One side of his family is diehard Saints, the other side is diehard Dees but he’s the black (and white) sheep of the family; he’s mad Collingwood.

    edit: sorry, wrong person. I was thinking this was Caleb’s thread.

    Thanks Nudge that is even better, 189cm is a good height for a hard nut forward/mid with a bit of X factor about him.🔥

    It's the theme song of his junior club in Esperance I believe.

    Koltyn reminds me of the great Allen Jakovich. Full of confidence, plays a tough brand, quick decision making, kicks goals.

    Allen is shorter at 187cm. Koltyn needs another 15 kgs.

    I agree he could be anything after a couple of pre-seasons

    Every stat and bio I have seen says 186 cms, but if you have more updated info,that is good and  I hope you are correct.

    This is critical.

    Says two things - one he is a natural athlete. And two he must be a hard worker.

    I suspect nibbla's 2km draft trial was similarly impressive and i'm guessing the role they have in mind for Koltyn is, like Nibla, the high half forward role.

    As i have banged on about that role has become critical in footy and was a clear need we had to fill (ie another elite high half forward to compliment Nibbla).  

    Appears to have good foot skills too, which is important

    Nibbla has really improved his field kicking and was our best kick inside 50 last season (as defined by kick to score ratio - our three worst were Tracc, Oliver and Gawn).

    Having a player on both flanks who can hit a target inside 50 will be a big positive. 

    Good get.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
