    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!

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
