Wizard of Koz

Hmmmm. Ummmm. He is a good clapper, cheerer and fist pumper.

Yes he is. Top 5 player in the team after year 1.

You are putting the linen on the line with big brown [censored] stains all over them

Exactly. I have slid from gruntled to very disgruntled on Tholstrup. Hope he gets my gruntled back but I doubt it.

He is a great player. We definitely do not want to lose him. The chances of getting a good player with whatever pick is not great. The last 3 to 5 drafts have seen anything past pick 10 or so being a 1 in 3 lottery at best of getting a half decent player.

I remember it and you got shot down by loudmouths who are the gatekeepers of all knowledge because they have "conversations" with players, players partners etc. At some stage people need to look past this nonsense and focus on mature conversation.

Foreign state. lol

I think you might have misread Kolt for Koz?

Other than "moral high horsery" what else do you hold a degree in? It looked like he was maybe being petulant when being dragged. Are we not allowed to discuss that?

Windsor has some strengths to work with. Surely his kicking can be sorted such as Ed Langdon's kicking was. He was good last year but not as good as Langford and Lindsay this year. No first year players have been as good as those two since Oliver.

You can make your own minds up. Seemed to be a snooty demeanour with a Harry thrown in.

I want to add, which sound magnanimous, but I do hope Kolt takes it the right way. He probably does read the forum I know I would at the same age and stage. I started the thread and feel a bit guilty that he would be feeling [censored] after reading it. But I suppose that is the purpose of a footy forum to talk all things MFC.

Very ordinary today. And footage of body language did not look great after being subbed, and seemed to mouthing something about Harry. May be wrong, but of all names Harry is actually quite easily to lip read. He just seems totally lost in the big league. Hope he finds it quick.

I am ejoying Van Rooyens game but his high 5's are unesseccarily reckless. He will poke a team mates eye out soon,. Watch close

Last year we completed an expected score Hatrick of Premierships

I have always wondered why the Casey Demon logo looks so unnecessarily amateurish. Taking into account that they are second tier compared to the MFC but that logo looks like it was made by some kid in Year 8, circa 2005

Or following any of the literally thousands of religions on offer to suckers worldwide.

As do over celebrating others marks. It all adds up. Honestly, I want him to do well. Like anyone in the Red and Blue. But I just don't see it at all. I don't see any advantages that he has physically, mentally, footy brain or hand eye quick coordination. *And I think it's a perm. (Not that it should matter)

Fair eough on all. 9 players is still far far too many.

Actually make that 14 players. So much dead wood. Could have gone harder too. It hasnt dawned until now but we are in strife for the next 5 years. Thank god for 2021!

I like the analogy of Neal-Bullen, Melksham and others who looked terrible in their first few years but came good. Those players all had time trial winning fitness and not flash game sense in early days and their confidence took a hammering which often morphed into poor usage. The elite fitness was the attribute that eventually got the ball rolling when they were given roles to fulfill which required this. Confidence then shot up and up in all areas. Has Kolt got the endurance and fitness? May have the ball usage skills but definitely has not got the tricks and game sense to just know where the ball will be or where to find team mates unexpectedly. I am yet to write him off but I have seen this movie before many times with our early investments. Gysberts, Morton, Strauss, Blease and the list goes on. We have more than most and we take longer than most to recognize unfortunately. What is a concern is that suddenly there are about 8 players on the list who are no good and getting worse in the 2's.

Windsor & McVee are not being discussed and even if they were its irrelevant as they have shown 100 x more than Kolt.

It may be too early in his career to make firm assessments BUT at this stage, other than being an enthusiastic on field celebrator, I have seen very little to impress. Seems to not have confidence in his own ability which may be justified.

Said with such authority too. I still think that "Viney already being in MRO trouble" was more than uncalled for by Dwayne Moron.
