Where are you playing him?

The best he has looked at any level has been as a physical defensive midfielder

He should be modelling his game on Steele

Don’t love that we’re playing Kolt at half back over Xavier Taylor just get games into him would’ve been my thought

Me either Taylor is a potential 150 gamer , not sold on Kolt at all!

MELBOURNE v RICHMOND

Friday February 27, 4.10pm at Mars Stadium

How to watch on Fox Footy: Channel 504 from 4pm with Dwayne Russell, Jess Webster, Brad Johnson, Nick Dal Santo & Ben Dixon

Demons’ burning question: How real is this more exciting brand under King?

It was like you were watching a totally different side last week. Melbourne looked re-energised in a dominant 80-point win over North Melbourne in their match simulation match. Forget the scoreboard, the Demons passed the eye test with flying colours and you could see the brand new Steven King is trying to install. They defended well and looked organised behind the ball, then attacked with a more daring, chaotic brand. Sounds simple enough, but it’s effectively how Melbourne and 17 other clubs will be wanting to play. We’ll get another look at it against Richmond in a method that Kysaiah Pickett and cousin Latrelle thrived in to provide serious optimistic for Demons fans and renewed faith for what 2026 could hold.

Tigers’ burning question: Will the new ‘Ferraris’ be Round 1 ready?

Fox Footy’s David King — an avid training track-watcher at this time of the year — cheekily suggested on X in January there were “Ferraris” everywhere at Richmond. If that’s the case, No.1 pick Sam Lalor would be in pole position, evidenced by his tantalising showing against Essendon. He took an awesome mark early and, overall, was clean and comfortable in possession, attending many centre ball-ups. Then there’s 2025 top-1o draft picks Sam Grlj and Sam Cumming, who are eyeing early-season debuts. Grlj was arguably the most impressive Richmond youngster against the Bombers with his daring dash and adept decision-making exiting defence, while Cumming improved as the game progressed and benefitted from more centre ball-up attendances. It’s one thing to show glimpses in the pre-season, but how quickly can they convert their form into home and away season class? Because you sense they’ll be heavily relied upon early.

Imagine being an organisation as big as the AFL and you can’t even host a preseason game at a regional venue where all supporters can show up. Sold Out!! FFS the level of incompetence is staggering.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
