Kolt’s mother is 100% the best recruit of the off season 

Don't forget we were the only club to visit the Kolt's family on their farm to meet them before the draft. Imagine the talk over the dinner table that night

For all our track & Casey watchers, how has he actually been going?

I saw him play live in each of our practise matches, but he looked more like he was finding he feet in those games rather than banging down the door for selection.

Any insight appreciated.

Thought he had a great game against the Bulldogs in Casey's last game after our Port game.

Ok from my perspective here is my take

1 He is like a sheepdog, rounds everything up. 

2 Is lively AND involved

3 Capable of the freakish, could be a possesion, kick, mark tackle

4 Very good skill set

5 NEVER say die spirit

6 Comparison?? Hnmm combo Sparrow, and Billings with a touch of Nibbler

Excited for the young bloke. Reckon his WAFL experience will hold him in good stead. He'll lay a few tackles and get on the end of some chains. Maybe even a goal or two.

I like how Goodwin's being bold with selections this year in picking Windsor, Howe and now Tholstrup.

Standing still ain’t an option - full kudos to the entire club from recruiters,  fitness staff, specialist and line coaches as well as Goody of course for the way our club develops talent these days.  We have had some fantastic newbies since 2021 - Bowey, Chandler, JVR, McVee, Howes, Windsor etc (humble apologies for any I have missed) .   Just hoping that the naturally slower developing talls Jefferson and Adams and Verral are all allowed time to make their mark.

Exciting times for Dees supporters.

Silver lining to Kozzy's suspension, very excited for this young man's debut! Good luck, Kolt.

Dees should play Living Colour's - Kolt (Cult) of Personality running onto the MCG for him! 😉

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.!!

Having seen Viney roast a few younger players (no longer at the club) I take Viney’s endorsement as absolutely glowing praise. If Viney thinks he’s up for it I have no doubt.

Is everyone calling him the Kolt as they too afraid to spell his surname incorrectly?

Tholstrup - sounds like part of a saddle on a horse. keeping with equine theme.

Really excited to see him play. Could the club not have told him yesterday to give his family more time to get over to Melbourne?

I guess they were still hopefully Pickett would be available?

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
