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. 

Invent a new category of stats  - Moral Assists aha

Yeh he was another one who's game improved on multiple viewings.

Time for a separate '25 September 2021 Moral Assists' thread. Take the honour, @roy11

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.
