If Kolt can fix up his kicking, he’ll become our best young player very quickly. Runs to the right spots, has pace and loves the contest.

Still be Windsor for me. No knock on Kolt, just really impressed with Windsor.

Goal umpire called it a point, so without the arc it would still have been a point.

My question is how did he call it touched when clearly the hand was nowhere near the ball and there would be no sound - guess ? 
 

Poor umpiring imo

The 6 or 8 games we've got into Kolt this year will be a bonus for next year 

I agree it’s been good for his development and having that experience will make him work even harder over the summer 

I saw a bit more leg speed from Kolt in this game which is encouraging - he has to work on his tank and if he can get very very fit maybe he’s our ANB replacement

Kolt has shown enough and once he picks up the pace of the game, the sky's the limit

He's only just turned 19, as has Windsor.  We sometimes don't take into account how young these draftees are (suddenly playing against men who are vastly more experienced, bigger and stronger) 

For both players, the next 2 years are also development years as very few become the finished product after just a year or 2 in the system

Turner - played very well

He has come a long way ... been in the system for at least 4 years and is now starting to blossom as a 22yo

Another tick for our development system and patience

Half the battle for these youngsters is believing that they can belong at the highest level.  The base skills are there

What is absolutely crucial is having a number of experienced, talented players to show them the way

I had a look at North, Tigers & Eagles today and I don't envy their position and where they sit.  It must be so hard for their new young players to shine

Disco still has a fair way to go but there is indeed, cause for optimism

Kolt (and Windsor) have had only one preseason.  Imagine what they may be able to achieve after two, or three.

Even better as he has just ticked over 3 years (mid season draft 21);

Yeah, he was obviously passed over in the draft but it could be argued that he has been in the system since 2019 (when he was not drafted)

Do you know what where he was playing his footy in 2020 & 2021? (assuming he was playing under 18 footy in 2019)

Albury hey!

Reminds me of Hadyn Bunton who played in 4 senior flags for 3 different Albury teams before he had turned 19yo!

Tholstrup's game was excellent. I understand Joeboy's view that he can get the blinkers sometimes but that will come once he adapts to the speed.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
