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

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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
