The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    Be interesting to see where he ends up in 3-4 years. Is he going to become a midfielder, or is he more likely a forward with glimpses on the ball - like we use Koz now? Looking forward to seeing who he trains with over the preseason as a possible indicator.

    I have very high hopes for Koltyn Tholstrup he still has a way to go and is more a fwd/mid but I expect that he will roll into the midfield more as he builds his body and engine.

    I like his strength, determination and aggression.  Take a deep breath, follow a set shot routine and I think he can be a dangerous attacking force for us

    In this first season whenever he came on to the ground he seemed to bring a huge amount of energy - once he builds a tank he could be an absolute ripper.

    Impressed after tough debut 

    Showed special glimpses in individual moments

    one that stood out was a rebound 50 where he stayed in the play and got multiple touches running through the middle. This surprised me, given his size. 

    A few instances of him going in extremely hard,

    The two goals in a row at the G. 

    Given his natural size/power, he could be anything - looks better than Trac did early days. 

    Mentality and physicality is 10/10 - you can tell how much he wants to be a good footballer

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
