Kozzie’s Shepherd

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.

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
