Many of us die-hard Dees believe that we could have struck gold with Kozzie.  Wouldn't it be amazing if he announced his 'arrival' to the wider football community against the Saints on Saturday night?  Against Freo he looked to me to be primed and ready to go.  Just a gut feeling that tomorrow night he might take centre stage.

Well called.

    We've had some dead-set ripping indigenous small forwards in my time supporting the club (Jeff Farmer, Aaron Davey, Jeff Garlett). After watching Kozzie on the weekend,  I think we've got another beauty on our hands.

    He will be all the better for a regular cache of games this year, and a more consistent schedule. Give him a couple more years then look out!

    how dare u leave out aussie wonaeamirri ;)

    Interesting that Ratten said on 360 that they felt they'd got the game back on their terms and then a 10-15 period from Pickett turned the game.  Never comes down to one player but pretty high praise coming from the other side.

    Can I just say how awesome it was to see Kozzie starting in the middle against at the Saints. Having that speed and excitement in the middle of the ground helped create that first goal to Viney.

    As soon as I saw him line up in the centre for the opening bounce against Freo I thought this is going to be a great move. He's obviously pinch hitting at the moment but we seem to use him for the opening bounce of most quarters before he moves forward. Gives us real x-factor around the ball to kick things off.

    Interesting to read this. I was discussing the game with a mate yesterday (Dees supporter), and he said - ‘we were really up against it until Kossie turned the entire game in its head, single handedly’. 

    This then caused me to reflect on Kossie’s contribution - I immediately thought, ‘yep, you’re spot on’.

    Kossie turned this game for us - Ratten is absolutely on the money. And he’s a good bloke for acknowledging this.

    He’s great but he didn’t turn the game. Our defence kick started a bunch or chains from the back half that led to ANB, Pickett and Sparrow goals - then they continued that into the second half occasionally screwing up and letting Steele to kick goals.

    Love him but nah.

    And the good thing was that the Saints had no one to stop Kossie in full flight!!!

    I think to say “Kozzie turned the game” is a very simplistic way for putting it. But fact is we were DESPERATE for a goal and he managed to create it almost out of nothing. Those are team-lifting moments (which we have sourly lacked for a while).

    Big call but Kossie could even be the best by the time he pulls stumps. If that's the case we may see a medallion or two around his neck at the lend of the season.

    I can’t think of any team that has a player to stop him, he’s one out of the box Kysaiah.

    The comparisons to Cyril Rioli have been made before but against the saints was the first time it was really evident to me. Took his goals brilliantly, great pressure, zip and spark. The air crackles when he gets the ball.

    He's a game changer. Such a buzz to see him running around in the red and blue.

    Its a shame he missed that goal when he hit the pack at lightning speed from out of nowhere.   Would have given him three brilliant goals.

    I agree I think the game started to turn further up the field.  Which is why I found it interesting for the opposition coach to single out Kozzie as the one that changed it.  Maybe it's an easier message to send to supporters than we got outworked in the midfield / by the melbourne defenders.

    Why did Petracca tell him to settle when he took that intercept mark in the 3rd and go back for a set shot? Hard to tell what was ahead on the tv but it looked as though he could've run in for a regulation shot at goal. Sometimes it's better to have a shot on the run instead of go back for a set shot as it's a more fluid action.

    With Trac on track to be our dusty or danger....

    Brown coming up fwd....May and Lever hitting their strides...if Kozzie keeps playing like this then things are going to be good.

    My secret bet (not so secret now) is that no doubt someone on here will complain that he drifts in and out of games, only has single digit possessions thus we wasted our time in recruiting him...

    Imagine writing off an 18 year old rookie in the garbage dump that was the covid 2020 season.  You wouldnt even write one off in a normal season unless you were a total [censored].

    No complaints from me EO.

    In the words of the great Jack Dyer, he’s the type of player who only needs 2 or 3 kicks to finish with 5 or 6 goals.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
