Something is up with Kozzys Instagram. The club has deleted the “thick” post referencing him (not all kozzy posts) and Kozzy has deleted all his pics and references to MFC. Just has #36 on there. 

Weird. 

 
 

The thick post was particularly thick, we really don't have to descend in to such silly social media stuff. But I'm not entirely sold the 2 are related.

Excuse my ignorance but what is the “thick” post and what is it in reference to.

The club posted a picture of a shirtless and clearly bulkier Kossie with the caption Kossie Thick-ett.

Sounds pretty innocuous. Am I missing something? Apologies if I am and am being insensitive.

I saw the pictures in another thread. Can’t wait to see Kozzy tear through people this season and hope he ends up staying.

Is Kozzie offended by this saying or what's wrong with it. 

I was thinking that.

The common usage of a person being 'thick' is they are not very bright.  So 'Thick-ett' could imply such of Kozzie and therefore easily taken as an offence if not by Kozzie by those close to him or senior people at the club, on Kozzie's behalf. 

Sloppy wording by whoever wrote it and it shouldn't get past the club's editors of marketing material.

On that point alone I can see why it was taken down.

For the post to be deleted by the club someone was offended. It might not be Kozzy but the “Thick” reference could be interpreted as fat shaming or body shaming and the club is just being PC about it. 

Perhaps Kozzy came back out of shape, not my opinion as I think he looks to be in beast mode, but maybe he came back a bit heavier but social media didn’t get the memo and posted what they did and then were asked to remove it either by Kozzy or the FD. 

Anyway this is all purely conjecture and probably has no bearing in reality.

this is plausible too. 

I really hope a poorly worded social media post hasn’t soured the relationship between Kozzy and the club. 


TBH, when I saw that ‘Thickett’ post - I thought that it was unfair and mean and brought unnecessary attention onto his physique especially considering skin folds are an important metric for the start of pre -season.

Social media platform in the some of the AFL clubs are dead set [censored] cringe. Worse I've ever seen it. Remember the Freo one when they recruited Jackson?

Looks like we've just joined the party unfortunately. 

Do better Melbourne Football Club. Keep it simple and stop posting cringe stuff as you can tell from Petracca's response.

Yeah they should have just zombified Max and captioned it Gawn of the Dead. I’ll see myself out.

WOW!  That is really bad.

Making fun of people's names is not OK. 

It is worse than mispronouncing someone's name; something most people get offended about.  It certainly didn't please Petracca at the Brownlow when Gill kept misprouncing 'Petracca'.

Although I can’t be sure I doubt Trac was WTFing about the title Tracula. He was probably just creeped out by the image of him as Dracula drinking blood. 

He was however definitely [censored] off about the league boss not knowing how to pronounce one of the premier players in the leagues name. 


“Thicket” is also slang for the pubic hair which grows around a males crotch region.

Oh ffs. 
 

A harmless play on a name rhyming. 

If this is the crux of his account content being deleted I’ll bare my bum in Myers. 
One day we’ll all be banned from speaking. 

 

i loved the tracula post, nobody is making fun of his name, it was for Halloween

It's just a bit of fun Shaun.

Maybe someone from news corp is helping with our social media?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
