The Kolt to kick 3!

Lock it in!

Not only that , I can definately see him being on "'Ä Farmer needs a wife episode"'!

I hope all Dee’s fans are realistic about Kolt in his first game and aren’t disappointed if he doesn’t have a great game.

On what we have seen he has the talent to make it, but may need time as most young players do.

Then again, he could turn it on.

Fully realistic. Nothing short of:

-25 touches

-4 goals, with a GOTY contender

-7 jack viney style brutal tackles

-Dermott brereton style run through of the opposition huddle

-Shaun Smithesque Hanger standing atop Max Gawn 

-3, 2 and 1 broqnlow votes and be awarded the Norm Smith in advance 

Would get close to what this kid is capable of in game 1🤣

Similar with Caleb. Demonlanders need to temper expectations rather than hyping up these boys and then ripping them down when they don't dominate or when they have normal developmental patches.

Don't generalise bin's p a ( or worse still patronise ).

I am among those ' landers who have pumped up Windsor. I've also touched on the comparison with the great man.

However, myself, and I'm sure most 'landers are also realists - we know there will be setbacks and flat moments during the development of a career.

Let's just enjoy ( or dream about ) the highs for the moment.

I would love it if they could get Nev Jetta in to present Kolt with his jumper. Both #39 and both WA boys.

Lord Nev 🙏♥️

Iconic 🫡

[Bates Mate 3,823]

Though to debut when over 50% of your teammates have the night off 

[Golly123 7]

Went to the ground just to watch this young man tonight.

Short steps.  Ah la  Jimmy Toumpas

 

Couldn't be more dissapointed in his debut.

This is a [censored] post IMO.

Even if you're thinking if, even if it's true, he's an 18-year old debutant playing in a side where his A-grade teammates were getting belted.

More importantly, he clearly isn't ready for AFL level football. That's on the FD, not him. He simply should not have been picked.

I want us supporting our kids, not throwing them under the bus.

[KingDingAling 3,596]

Id be surprised to see him again this year. Looks too raw, and not even near the standard.

[MurDoc516 1,304]

Not sure what the thought process was to pick Kolt tonight. He hasn't done anything to look even remotely close to being ready and you fed him to the lions (no pun intended). This was as bad as sending Watts into play the pies on QBD.

[Jaded No More 57,894]

Demonland after a loss is a special place

[Nascent 7,254]

Kid will be fine

[DeeSpencer 23,134]

Meh, kid played in the toughest spot on the ground in a midfield smashing, I thought his work rate was good, he held a number of strong tackles and he had good energy.

Might be dropped or subbed but I doubt there’s any long term effects from a quiet debut.

Not sure exactly who else we should’ve played. I suggested Kynan Brown but he’s so light he would’ve been brushed aside just as easily. Otherwise AMW as a forward but maybe that’s mucking his development when we might need a dashing defender very soon. Plus we need him to develop as a player.

[layzie 28,743]

Not a memorable one but Dirk will be back.

[Stevienic23 1,024]

Everytime he was near the ball he was within 2 meters of the boundary dealing with a grubber. Not sure what he's meant to do 

[Skuit 9,174]

I've been a bit bored watching the footy since the departures of Fitzy and Frost. Thinking the Kolt might fill that chaos gap but with a bit more competence. Hopefully we can now accommodate a square peg. 

[Travy14 1,499]

Kolt was fine, he is going to be a good player.  He is used to being bigger and stronger than his opponents which shower with him trying to push them off.  When he fills out he will be much better.

The first 5 min of the game i recon he was tackled 4 times for a ball up which doesn't show as a stat on the scorecard but they are important touches none the less and shows he is in the right spots.

He will be fine and i hope he gets another couple of runs this year!

[loges 6,027]

I wouldn't be judging a young players debut at all tonight going on how his teammates played, must have been so hard for him.

[Young Angus 305]

I thought he did very well, looked confident with a good attitude and strong, hope we see more of him.  Shocking night to debut the whole team was very shaky, he got thrown under the bus a few times too I thought.  

I reckon he did well with what he had to work with last night, I hope we give him more games this year in the seniors.

Think he's a troll spouting garbage.

Would love the mods to kick people like this off....
