I also loved when Emmylou would do this live with Buddy Miller...

And of course, she sung with Gram Parsons on Grievous Angel. Such a great vocalist… she has duetted on this song with some of my favourites (Gram Parsons, Buddy Miller and Elvis Costello).

 

Toby B has similar traits to Kossie. Runs hard and tackles hard. When he has the ball he is just as exciting to watch.

Toby and Koz though very similar seem to complement each other rather than compete.  Having those two and Spargo, who is a slightly different but equally important small forward is a luxury - I hope we can find a way to keep them all involved. 
Until and unless we can find 2+ genuine tall marking forwards this seems the best option.

Yes I agree. Looking at Thursday’s performance our forward line functioned better having a smaller setup. Our transition from the backline was better because our smalls were able to spread quicker. This could be our preferred structure going into the final rounds. 

There is a very simple tactic if your key forwards are getting out marked and you have reasonable small forwards, you kick to space or along the ground.

There's a few on this site who have knocked him for not kicking enough goals but I think that is really undervaluing the defensive efforts and one percenters he puts in.

Opposition defenders must get the ball and then the first thought must be "where's Pickett".

As said above, I love the charging from 10 to 20metres he does to just put pressure on the kicker.

Never gives up.

There will be a wonderful turnover reel by the end of the season where Kozzie has harassed defenders and the spoils have resulted in goals for us.

Spargo, Bedford and Kozzie are comin for ya. Lookout!

It’s also not what he’s judged on internally. Most oppo supporters don’t rate him very highly. Strangely enough they don’t rate Clarry often either. But Goodwin has suggested he and his small forwards are judged in work rate, pressure acts rather than goals and Kozy is a genius at that stuff

Does anyone here have access to these pressure act and wok rate stats?

OMG Uncle Byron was so solid as well as quick and aggressive.  Would be intimidating knowing that he was in the area if you had the ball.
Nephew has the speed and aggression and still tackles well above his weight and his presence intimidates.

Kozi and Byron both start the charge in a similar manner. Lower the knees and keep their back stiff and morph into a very short range missile.

He wouldn't get through a single match without being suspended in todays game. Byron and Voss crashing into each other would've caused an earthquake! The game used to be so much harder hitting and fun to watch.

I forgot how hard Byron played. Man I would hate to be on the end of a bump from him

I thought the original version was by the Everly brothers?

I always thought that the original was Roy Orbison. If Wikipedia can be believed, turns out that the Everly Brothers were first but didn't release it as a single. Roy Orbison was the first to have a hit with it. It seems that there are as many  versions of "Love Hurts" as there are versions of Kossy, Kosi, Kozzy, etc. (Who else said to themselves 'Oi! Oi! Oi!' after reading that last sentence?)

Thanks for that. I didn’t think Gram Parsons did the first version. 
Great Song btw

I feel like every thread I start or participate in is ultimately sidetracked by someone reminiscing about a song or gig. Not sure who, why or how and I cant be bothered trawling back. But it does get repetitively annoying.

There's probably a song about that

I wouldn't take it to heart.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
