Kozzie’s Shepherd

Sir Why You Little
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

the block on dunkley before trac's dribbler would've earned him a premiership medallion if it was the ONLY team thing he did - instead he had 23 pressure acts, and was 'on' right from the start when he stopped footscray getting low pressure exits from d50 due to his constant harassment 

how many second year key forwards have kicked the amount of goals he has and put the sort of pressure on that he's able to exert on a continual basis?

what a draft 2019 was!

    Yes, Sparrow gets that goal, because Tom pushed the Dogs player back through the goals, allowing the ball to clear the goal line.

    Kossie spooked those dog defenders - coughed it up to Jackson

    Good shepherd, but Dunkley was playing for the free with his tumble.

    I'm not particularly religious but "if Kossie does shepherd I shall not want"

    He’s done this from day one, hits a body every single time he’s near one, I noticed it early and kept watch ever since. I always expect him to give a way a free as some have been a tad late, but as far as I can remember never has. 
    Ultimate team player, great awareness, hard position to play but is always involved even if the stats don’t show it. 
    He is a ripper.

    Might've been Dunkley's bad shoulder but I reckon Koz has actually moved him sideways a lot. Like uncle Byron he has the sweet sweet timing. You can see he gets it spot on. Dunkley might've gone down more out of shock than looking for the free.

    King and Whateley mentioned his off the ball work today. 
    And he should have had a shot 20 meters out. So prob should have had a goal to his name.

    Uncle Byron says it all really…

    Hunted and harried the Dogs defenders all night. Never gave them a second's peace. He didn't have much joy with ball in hand but his defensive work was A-Grade. He's going to be better than Cyril Rioli

    Agreed, not a great game but just   little things for TMac and Kozzie, both were involved in this one. Tmac gets the hand on it that deflects it to Petracca when otherwise Duryea would have spoiled it out and then the Kozzie shepherd was gold.

    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

    The more you watch the replays the more you realise his "quiet" game was actually a very good, team oriented game. Evey single player did some hard yards and all are deserving :)

    Yep, I was going to bring that up too. TMac and Cordy (I think) were locked hand on shoulder pushing each other. By the time the ball arrived, Tom had just about pushed him to the fence. Great display of strength.

    Tmac also involved early in this sequence too. Salem kicks out of defence to a Gawn/Keath contest and the ball goes over them both and Tmac is there for an easy mark. He then kicks it to Brown who can't quite grab it but gets the free for HTB with ~70 seconds left - Brown bombs it in and then the rest is history.

    That’s one of those acts known as contributing without the football.

    Spot on. Fantastic on-body work on his opponent to allow that Sparrow goal to get over the line. It was brilliant. Noticed by Hodge on the commentary. (Don't get me started on Sparrow - did some great things. Big big future.)

    I noticed the shepherd on the second viewing as well. I also noticed that a few players that looked like they had a quiet game were doing some good work off the ball.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
