Any observations re Sestan, who had been mooted by some for a late season senior debut.

Was he an attacking HBF? Is that he best position?

Was tagged to stop his rebound, which says volumes given it’s been two games back since injury

He reminds me of Heath Shaw a bit - get the ball in his hand and it results in low trajectory bullet passes

Should be pushing to be first option rebounder going forward

I’ll buy people’s Kolt shares. Just 20, no preseason. High agility testing, clean hands, good vision and excellent disposal. Learning midfield role.

Yesterday wasn’t his best game but I’ve seen enough in his last 6 games to feel comfortable with the pick. He won’t be a star but he’ll be a good solid player with great character.

Yep, I'm certainly not writing him off.

And I largely agree on your summary of his strengths.

I'd add that if he can really get to work in the gym he has the sort of build to be a real power player.

But he's the sort of player that if not a star doesn't make it at AFL level

That's to say with his weaknesses (doesn't appear super athletic, doesn't get big disposal numbers, isn't super quick or an aerobic beast) he really needs to be an impact player with tricks and x factor to be best 22 at AFL level.

He needs to kick the occasional bag, go on a 10 minute tear and dominate, turn a game around, kick a team lifter - a difference maker.

Which is what I had hoped see in the final against Frankston.

A good comparison to the sort of player I'm thinking of is Cam Raynor.

Key

Key will be him getting super fit - I get he had an interrupted preseason but he has just finished his second full season and he looks a ways off optimal shape.

This preseason and early next season will tell a tale of where he is really at.

Not buying any more shares, I'll just hold the ones i have for now (that said with my JVR, Spargo and Kolt shares my portfolio is a bot unbalanced - good thing I bought Max at the bottom, and loaded up on Langford and XL

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
