I'm interviewing one of the Melbourne Football Club's newest recruits and one of Demonland's Sponsored Players for 2024 Koltyn Tholstup tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

I'll be asking him about his recruitment to the club and how he has found the leap from WAFL to AFL as well as what his goals for 2024 and beyond are and much more

If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in.

I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    If you are looking for more questions, I'd like to know:

    1. Where he sees himself playing his footy long term i.e. as a permanent forward, as a HFF with occasional bursts in the midfield, or eventually transfering to being a primary midfielder who pushes forward (ala Track)?

    2. How he has found the fitness demands of the first few pre seasons sessions? For example, he ran top 10 2km TT at the draft combine (6.17), how does that place him at the MFC?

    Have you got a GF in Victoria yet? If not, why not and what can the DL collective do to make this happen?

    Has he, or is he likely to read Demonland?  If 'yes' does he understand the risks involved?

    He seems like a well spoken, balanced, thoughtful young man. How did he get to be this way?

    Great interview Andy.  Great insights into what makes the young man tick.  Seems very balanced ‘old head on young shoulders’.

    Thanks Andy another great interview Koltyn is such a well grounded confident and interesting young man. How many 18yold kids would mention parents and both sets of grandparents in such a short period of time. I can hear why WCW was so impressed with him, I liked his brotherhood line regarding him and the WA boys in the team. We have got one here.!

    What a well-spoken kid he is, seems mature beyond 18 and very level headed. I like that he's not much into social media.

    And not a single "yeah nah", "like" or "y'know" to be heard!

    Hope his on-field is as impressive as his off-field

    Thanks for sharing the interview

    I’ve yet to listen to the pod but didn’t I tell y’all???? Koltyn’s an awesome kid and we’re lucky to have him as a Demon.

    Super impressed that he's staying with the Vineys and that Kolt is keenly watching Jack's habits on and off the field.

    Thank god that the old days are gone when Chunk was our only mature leader. Our club is now bursting with leadership players

    Great interview, Andy! You clearly made him feel at ease and you asked great questions (he even said so at one point 😊). It’s obvious he spends much time with his parents and grandparents for I’ve never heard an 18yo use the expression, “it puts me in good stead.” 😁

    Also, he lied to you about the sunnies. Truth is, he bought ‘em at a servo for $25 😎

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
