The moniker for him in our household is "Little Richard". All wild hair, glintingĀ ivories, sassy moves andĀ stage presence to burn. Twists and turns and hits the scoreboardĀ rather like LR hit the keyboard. Some of the shots of him bear an uncanny resemblance.

Heā€™s put the competition on notice now, so get ready for the tag and defendersĀ roughing him up. I donā€™t know why but I can very easily see Nibbler being the first in to protect him. I think the boys should be ready to ā€œfly the flagā€ against the cats.Ā 

For that matter though Kozzie tackles as hard as anyone in the team so he will be up for it!

It's alright, Spargo will come to his aidĀ ?

"How Dons missed Pickett, McDonald draft heist

Joe Daniherā€™s initial trade request bombed out. But how different would life be for the Dons had they done the deal with Sydney?"

Article on HS about Dons potentially missing Kozzy and Logan McDonald due to their reluctance to trade Danniher to Sydney. Good to be on the other side of these articles for a change.Ā 

 

Instead Essendon paid Daniher to rehab for the Lions the following year, genius from Dodoro

I feel a bit for Josh Mahoney having to spend his working life dealing with clubs who are in the "really crap" phase of their cycle. I think he's in for extended pain with the Bombers.

Do you consciously stop at the keyboard and write the word Essen(drug), or J(eelong), or is it automatic for you these days??

Sorry for thread derail...genuinely curious.

Itā€™s no longer us in the trade revision gun, itā€™s the Bombers but like us with the Josh Kelly, May for Pick 6 and trading up for Kossie Picket calls, I still think the Bombers have done ok with Cox and Perkins.

Jones has shown a bit so far and itā€™s only very early days.

Very happy to have KP, he has tricks that you just canā€™t teach


There's at least three blokes in MFC that one should not tangle with, and one of them might surprise.....

And it will be a total duck dive bonanzaĀ from theĀ  the Geelong wussys come the weekend.

The plan of course is like always. Use the poor buggers in yellow to exaggerate everything while playing on, snide hits behind play, and stretching the rules to the point where no rules apply to them.

What i want to see is Goodwin walk through their huddle at three quarter time or/and Ollie best on G...

Kozzie has totally injected this side with life.Ā 

Similar to Ryan at the Eagles.Ā 

Betts when he was at Adel.Ā 

Papley at the Swans.Ā 

So good to have him in the side.Ā

And to anyone who thinks Kozzy shouldnā€™t do that he was probably just reminding him of half time

Koz would have to be delivering some serious one-liners out on the field, having a father who is a stand-up comedian.

Kozzy generates a level of excitementĀ whenĀ in the vicinity of the ball that I haven't felt since Jackovich. His ability to recover his footing, his creativity, his physics defying movement, finding the goals - scintillating stuff.

Jacko moved more like a well oiled slippery caboose though.... whereas Kozzie well you have to really watch him carefully as he is that quick and zippy.Ā  If you don't you are likely to miss it as it allĀ happens in the blink of an eye.

Mind you when you add 30 years plus a ****ty day with rain foggingĀ glasses you weren't wearing back then, missing KozzieĀ is more likely.

Edited by Rusty Nails

I was one of the people a little suspect on how soon Kozzie would have an impact.

Extremely happy to put my hand up and acknowledge I was wrong -Ā he's now keeping his feet, nailing chances and creating some real headaches for opposition teams. His work in traffic is first class

Watch the highlights and listen to the crowd when he swooped on that ball inside 50 and kicked the goal.

It felt like the days of Jeff Farmer or A jakovich lighting up the G' on a wet day.Ā  The whole crowd knew something special was about to happen.

That was Kozzies first game on the MCG since he really arrived in round 2 and you can feel hes going to make the stadium his own.Ā Ā Ā

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    Itā€™s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the Ā Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measlyĀ 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?Ā  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
