Becoming right up there with Jeff Farmer as one of my all time favourite MFC players.

Some of the [censored] this kid can do on the footy field is nuts.

Please re-sign Kozzie..

What a gifted, exciting player is Kozzie my wife and I were fortunate to have been in Alice to watch the Dees when Kozzie played possibly his best game for the Dees kicking six scintillating goals and got us home from a determined Port. He was on fire and so was the crowd. Comeon Kozzie as Dazzle said please re-sign and make MFC your home long term.❤️💙🤘

He's already had two seasons in which he's kicked 40+ goals. That's insane for a 21-year-old small forward.

Yes we are awaiting  5/6 hial MCG Kissie epic. Make it in 2023 Kossie and sign on for some more highlights and flags!!

I'll put my hand up and say I thought we "reached" with drafting him high at pick 12. I was massively wrong. He's a gun and is super important to our team both offensively and defensively.

He's already had back to back 40+ goal seasons as a small forward, which is an incredible achievement. To put that in perspective against other current gun small forwards;
Charlie Cameron is 28 and has kicked 40+ 3 times.
Papley is 26 and has kicked 40+ once.
Kozzie is 21 and has now kicked 40+ twice.

He's out of contract end of next season and we need to lock him away. He's the most important of our young future core IMO.

Been a joy to watch over the last two seasons after scratching the surface in 2020.

Absolutely no upside whatsoever if he wants out next year. At least with Jackson we had a ready made replacement.

It just doesn't get much better than this...

Seeing it in person, that moment was almost worth the 2022 membership fees alone 😀

The skill set he brings to the club is absolutely irreplaceable and provides a point of difference from other small forwards.

Whatever the club did to try and convince LJ to stay, the club needs to do 200% more with Kozzie. A critical re-signing.

That kick was out of the upcoming book: 'Kozzie in Wonderland'. How on Earth did he do it, coz it ain't good luck!
