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 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

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
