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.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
