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.

He’s put the competition on notice now, so get ready for the tag and defendersĀ roughing him up. I don’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 Daniher’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.

It’s no longer us in the trade revision gun, it’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 it’s only very early days.

Very happy to have KP, he has tricks that you just can’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

hahaha gives him aĀ  serve while hes on the ground having just been emasculated by Kozzie.

Rubbing his face into the loss Ā  :)

And to anyone who thinks Kozzy shouldn’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

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.Ā  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.Ā  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.Ā  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.Ā
