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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
