Credit to Goodie in blooding kids.

We’ve been contending now for 4-5 years and still blooding and developing some exciting young players. It wouldn’t be an easy thing to do, especially where we’ve come from.

 

Amazing drafting and development from the club

Well done Kolt. Start of a long career at the Dees.

Agree with posters. We are not relying on the same side that won the big one in 21. Some quality players coming in.

What and get suspended?

It seems you are more likely to get off if you knock them dead than if you brush against an opponent's head.

Could there be a more unflattering photo?

 

Wahooo we have all been anticipating the launch of the Kolt, so glad it is at the G tomorrow night so we can witness him Debut. Congratulations young man enjoy your first game with the Dees. Go the Esperance Kolt, how happy was Jack Viney.!!

Added reference to JV.

But… best of luck to you Kolt!


We've been so ultimately spoiled in very recent times haven't we? Bowey debuts and stars from the get go in 21. McVee, Windsor, Roo, Howes,  Woey hasn't starred yet but looks pretty good. In the dark past, when hope was largely absent  I must admit had little excitement about a new comer. Very different these days. Cant wait to see how he looks on the big stage!

Can't wait to see this kid play, recon he has a lot of early years Petracca about him.

Pardon my ignorance, but does Kolt have an indigenous heritage?

Don't think so, but he wears 39 and has ambitions to be awesome, so Neville Jetta is perfect.

No I don’t believe so


Got the love some work from A.B “Banjo” Paterson 

There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around
That the KOLT from WA would make his debut. 
And he would join the mighty Demons team
to show his talent and tenacity to all that had come to see. 
So all the Dees supporters had gathered to the fray.
All the loyal and loud Dees members from near and far away, 
Had mustered at the MCG on Thursday night to see the Kolt at play,
For the Dees love his energy and excitement and hope with all their might, 
That his family and all around him enjoy the night, with his future that’s ahead.

I'd be just tempering our expectations a bit. If he can make a hit or two, and lay 3 or 4 tackles, I think that'd be a great debut.

The fact that Viney is his role model and mentor means I have never been more relaxed about a player's debut.

Knock em dead Kolt*

 

 

*Do not get suspended

The fact that Viney in his recent interview with Maxy before his 200th and Brayshaw in his retirement talk both mentioned Nathan Jones mentoring them makes me realise what an impact Jones has had on the club.

Viney role modelling and mentoring, Brayshaw with his new role at the club.

* Kolt don't get suspended but when we play the pies let your mum know our feelings for Maynard she will sort it

As long as it’s a football action and not head high, all good

So much easier to slot young players into a high-performing side rather than throw them to the wolves all at once together out of necessity. May we never have to do that again.

I'll see you and raise you this one.

Surprising because he's usually a very photogenic lad.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
