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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
