Which community/tribe/small town is he from? Club website says WA yet everywhere else is SA. I imagine hes from remote WA somewhere and moved to SA to play footy this year.

He is based in SA full time. Moved there from WA when he was a kid.

Another blunder from our very own Ben Gibson..

I was looking that up yesterday, and Kozzie wasnt in the top 10 for agility.

And Luke Jackson wasn't in the top 10 for standing or running jump.

Those tests are irrelevant anyway.

Yeah, perhaps.

I'd just be interested to see the stats if anyone has them.

Sadly I think I agree.
I recall holding great hope for ANB as his SA team won the champs and he was a consistent key component within that side, always performing well without dominating, but getting his side over the line.
I had hope he'd provide a similar non-spectacular influence on the success of our side, but that hope is fading.

What you're describing is exactly what ANB was to us in 2018. He was a big, non-spectacular part of our success with a number of games hitting the exact numbers you'd be looking for out of your high half forward:

Rd 2 - 21d 1g
Rd 4 - 22d 1g 6t
Rd 8 - 23d 2.2g
Rd 9 - 17 d 4g 5t
Rd 10 - 23d 3g 6t
Rd 11 - 25d 1.2g 5t
Rd 12 - 19d 1.1g 6t
Rd 17 - 17d 2g 5t
Rd 19 - 22d 1.1g 12t
Rd 20 - 22d 2g
EF v Cats - 20d 1.3g 9t (and if you rewatch this game, he brought the heat very early and was key to our big 1st Q)

For the year he kicked 27.19, averaging 1.1 goals a game at 17 disposals and 4.7 tackles. 
For an undersized roaming HFF, that is high output.

Does he make perfect decisions? Far from it, but his ability to move from contest to contest and use his endurance to get goal scoring opportunities is unmatched in our side. Like many others, his demise in '19 was another reason we couldn't replicate our 2018 form. 
 

He needs to bring this form again and make it consistent over a period of years, but I do not understand the constant criticism of him and why people cannot see his value. 

 

 

I think opposition sides worked him out, and realised if they apply serious pressure to him he can't absorb, coughs it up.

With time, I think he'll settle and learn to cope with the pressure without panicking, but I'm not confident he'll be afforded the time to figure it out - many aren't.

The hope is fading, but not gone.

Just been waiting for my coffee in Horsham and fell into conversation with the happy indigenous gent beside me in a MFC tee shirt. He turned out to be the very proud father of Kysaiah having a pit stop on the way back to SA. 

He wasn’t afraid to talk the boy up. Said he has a fantastic attitude. 

anyway I left him talking to Frank Giampolo (ex MFC footballer). 
 

Really looking forward to seeing this kid play

And this is why Demonland has such great value. A fan discussion and story forum at its best. Thanks Bimbo. 

Welcome to the MFC Kozzy (KKP) I am looking forward to seeing you out on the "G" kicking goals and burning up the turf. I am sure that you will make Uncle Byron and Uncle Nev very proud of you.........!!!!

An honest trier from the 1970s, played back pocket at times but struggled with injury and pace. Bad knees from what I can remember. Tried to come back under Big Carl but too much knee damage. 

Last saw him in Horsham running the White Hart Hotel. Nice pub with reasonable food. Lovely bloke, happy to talk footy and still a diehard Dees supporter.

Footy jumpers are best worn by kids 5-16. Sorry Picket.

Good luck with that. I think Pert has issued instructions to cut costs. You need to pay extra for your choice of player on the card and the choices are limited to around 6 players.

You’re right....just spoke with the club regarding other matters with my membership, asked about pictures and was told only six we’re on offer. Honestly how much of a savings would it actually be.....

Kozzie is a Noongar man as is Harley Bennell. 

There have been and are many AFL players are Noongar men.  A few notables:  Polly Farmer, Buddy, Barry Cable, Nicky Winmar, Garlett, Matera,  Bennell, Jetta, Pickett, Krakouer, Burgoyne, Ryder and the list goes on.

Lots of people for young Kozzy to draw inspiration from.

Get ya hand off it PF. 

 

Absolutely delighted to have Kozzy on board. Fantastic to see Brad Green hand him the jumper and cant wait to see Aaron Davey hand him his famous 36.

Probably been mentioned above but did you see the look on Goody's face when Kozzy was being interviewed, he loves him which is a great sign.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
