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.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
