Would like to see him sign on the dotted line. Don't want a will he won't he distraction like we had with Jackson last year

Lol, the first reply to that tweet is a classic.

My two big hopes for next season is another flag and for Kossie to sign a new contract.

Only if it was “fake news” 😱

Footy has become a meat market with clubs, players, agents and the media all participating in the frenzy. It’s unpleasant  but that’s the way it is. It gets worse each year. 

I am increasingly detached about it all and try not to invest emotionally in who comes or goes. Contracts no longer provide security to the player or the club. And speculation will continue to haunt the industry as player agents and the media have a vested interest in ensuring that a story keeps bubbling away. There will always be a core group of elite players that will commit to long term contracts but the rest will be fodder for speculation.  I would be surprised if Kozzy commits to a long term contract given the emotional tug of family. His value to the club will depend on whether his heart is at Melbourne or elsewhere.

He should have been given midfield time to spark us last season and particularly finals ... no review needed to work that out ... l posted on her that l told goody and richo that at pre finals training and they totally ignored me ... choco agreed with me though

One has to assume that the Club has done everything it could to get him to extend his contract before entering what is now the final year of his contract. I'm sure they would have preferred to have avoided another Jackson like circus but here we are again. Can't help feeling he's gone.

I suspect you're right

Freo has given Port the play book... Pick 16 anyone??

Except Port have already given away their first rounder next year so at this point have nothing to offer.

Is that not the playbook?

Still hope he plays the majority of minutes in the forward line.

We need to utilise his amazing goal kicking talents as much as possible. He can do things around goals that nobody else can.

As for his re-signing, if it's not done by the mid season break or thereabouts then I'd say he's gone for sure.

That is entirely premature in IMO. We have 3.5 mths prior to 2023. Let's not fuel the fire just because others go earlier!

This is about to turn into a tearjerker thread by all the negative and pessimistic members.

[Fritta The Hair G.O.A.T.]

Feels a bit "if it ain't broke..." to me - Kozzy has kicked 40 goals for 2 straight seasons and is as dynamic as anyone in the comp around goal. Would prefer to see him stay forward TBH

Sometimes bulking up reduces speed it will be interesting to see how he goes in the coming season.
