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 ?

    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

    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.

    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

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and ā€¦ it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterdayā€™s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourneā€™s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldnā€™t get any worse. Well, it did. And whatā€™s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasnā€™t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyonā€™s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourneā€™s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourneā€™s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterdayā€™s 7 goals 21 behinds.Ā 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. Iā€™ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards?Ā Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?Ā

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
