Port chasing Kozzy Pickett

The only way for a supporter like me, for many years, other than standing out the front of the studio, and feeling like an old fool , is to point out on a forum like what we have here, that these guys on FTA think their op counts more than ours, it doesn't, and that their fellow comperes value their op, which they do not.It is all about comeuppance and gamesmanship which would  need to be explained..to them anyway.

It has taken the Club to gather together a team like we have now many years and I don't want any, one or many, comedian or showman trying to prevent our enjoyment.

    This is why the league needs anti tampering rules. There’s no reason for Pickett to cop this speculation now and for an entire year.

    Its all so Craig the Labrador Hutchinson can make money from his pitiful media empire one click at a time.

    Who on earth  is Michaelangelo Leonardo Roccaceli anyway? One of the leftover ninja turtles? For all we know he’s about as well connected to the trade market as Melksham’s baby. 

    Well connected at Port, i think he works for the Powa in some capacity.

    Why would he want to leave and go to Port anyways. What the attraction there. I can't see it. This is just a BS rumour

    Club needs to sign him asap. After losing Jackson because mummy wanted him to go home, if we lose Kozzie because he doesn't like the city of Melbourne, only for him to go to [censored] Adelaide, I will vomit up my [censored].

    First heard of him 30 years ago so he's grounded in SA journalism, and is reputedly a Power fan as overt as Caro is a Tiger fan.

    Mentioned again in Damian Barrett's sliding doors today. 

    Seems to be a fair bit of smoke about this one. Disastrous if it happens - tracking better statistically than just about any small forward since Stephen Milne. And every bit as exciting as Eddie, Cyril or Jeffy.

    Has family in SA, played junior footy there, some hinting in the media maybe he doesn't like the big city so much.

    There's plenty of reasons, which doesn't mean it will happen of course.

    I always thought he was from WA. Is it his extended family that are based in SA?

    Lives with Jackson and Bedford. One is gone. The other is maybe gone too. Not ideal if he’s already not loving Melbourne.

    I think he went to live with uncle Byron when he was in school (not sure the exact age), this was in South Aust. Both Cornes and Rucci are notorious for making up things that suit the SA clubs, and then sooking about the Vic media bias.

    Yeah he did, and seems really close to him and his sons especially. I don't think he would go, and you're right about the SA media, but I can see how it could be a possibility I guess.

    His Mum passed away in early 2021. She was Byron's sister.

    His Dad's side of the family are Ngarrindjeri, which is in SA.

    Thanks LN - my comment was meant as a joke and to be light hearted given the commentary around LJ 

    In hindsight and knowing the circumstances it was not appropriate

    Holding this side together was always going to be a tough ask. But Kozzy is one we can not lose.

    all the talk is about Port going hard at Kossie, not Kossie is considering, or Kossie might be on the move or anything like that.

    so all it is is port want him are are trying to use his SA connections to pry him from us.

    is no reporting that he is considering it, which is good.  The bad thing is that we have tried to extend his contract and he has put of talks, which isn't unusual for a kid of his talent, this is one we don't want to lose so dees make him super comfortable next yr.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
