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.


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?

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.

He reminds me of Garry Hocking on appearance. Great if he plays like him!

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.


NOICE, some good news out of the AFL today/this week
 

#excited to see this young man show his talent. 
 

Me thinks he is going to be a beauty 

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.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
