KK had a fairly quiet game by his standards BUT his shepherd, allowing Tracc to kick his 2nd. 
i have only just noticed what he did. 
incredible

Grand Final moment 

That was the goal that broke the Dog

Watch it again. Kozzie opened the door

 

Tim Watson made a big mention of this on SEN this morning.

Was unreal and something we’ve done a lot more this season. Protecting teammates.

 

Saw it when they did the first replay, if you watch all the finals and watch what’s happening around the ball, not the ball you see him, Nibbler, tmac etc do all these all game long. Sparrow at centre bounces is big too, he just crashes people.

This coupled with TRAC'S EYES working back to the centre after that goal. It's the moment of the game for me.

23 pressure acts and 3 tackles inside 50. Didn't get lucky with kicking goals himself, but his pressure and intent was what a Grand Final is all about for mine.

Not suprised, players see it quicker 

It is so good

Thank you for getting this out there @Sir Why You Little as a specific topic (it was mentioned in a couple of places on Postgame) I've been thinking it needed to be since my first replay viewing. It was instinctive and deliberate all at once, and blink-of-the-eye and powerful in its execution. I reckon it's a moment Kozzie now has to treasure.

I'm amazed that listening to that 3rd quarter blitz mash up, only 1 (or possibly 2) commentators brought attention to Kossie.

He had a relatively quiet game stats wise, but was hardly quiet when it came to his off the ball work. Especially the pressure he applied for Spargo's goal.

Yep. KK could have gone for possession of that ball, it is his job. 
But No, he did the Selfless thing, that was so important 

But he is part of that goal, just as much as Tracc

Awesome….

Commentators always seem about a couple of seconds behind the action and if they saw it (see my previous post) it was already overtaken by the commentators-dream action that followed the split second later.

That is what i am talking about. It was a “quiet” Kozzie game, but it wasn’t 

You just need to dig a little deeper

He hits bodies with serious intent, particularly when he isn't a big bloke himself. He'd give away 10kg and plenty of height to Dunkley


Kozzie did amazing things, watched him never give up, he had three bulldog players around him and he kept trying to smash pass them to get the footy.

As they say some times it's the little things that can make a huge difference.

Having watched the game multiple times now, you pick up a lot of the little things you may have missed.

Plenty of off the ball contributors.

Riv also laid a great shepard on Treloar to set up another Trac goal  

 

I've always though of Ben Brown as a goofy labrador. Pickett then is our Jack Russel. Endlessly running to where ball-carrier is in the small hope he will get a bite. 

He did a lot of good stuff off the ball, a couple of which led directly to goals such as that Petracca goal and also the Spargo goal.

Certainly not his best game, but he did all the team things that you want from a small forward. [censored] me when I read comments on social giving him stick. The kid was a massive contributor to a premiership season.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
