Operation keep Kozz 

Are they mates? 

Does anyone have any observations of these guys in action? Or if Burgoyne is over his injury run? 


His highlights were as a midfielder with pace and reasonably good disposal, he maybe the piece of the puzzle an outside midfield runner complimenting our inside powerhouses.

His problem with injury and Covid would have stopped his development in his 3 years on the PA list but he played last year with some breaks showed he maybe over his injury and with a good preseason he may blossom.

Must be surreal for Mark Williams. Coached his dad to their only premiership and is now a development coach of his son.

Looking at his highlights I reckon he would make a great running half back.

This has Choco's fingerprints all over it.

Showed some pace and skill as a junior:

 

That is not only pace, that reel shows white-line fever for the ball and the direction. Notice how he straightens up to a direction through gapping, and in turn, straightens up the whole team movements, as well, as a consequence? Even to the oncoming forwards readying for the 'receive'. Eyes up, always, entering the forward zones. Like it, not fazed by big bodies around him looking for action.

That's very interesting. A connection like that can be the difference. 

Question for Kev Martin - did you see much of him? I'm really regretting not keeping an eye on him now but as we've said there was a lot going on.

Anything to keep Choco with us another couple of years is a good thing 🙂


Maybe Trent came for 2 reasons his friendship with Kozzie and Peter Burgoyne relationship with Mark Williams as well as recruiters like Kelly O'Donnell who look at players who were delisted.

Can't see any real downside with giving this young fella another chance

Has pace, good disposal skills and will be well coached under Chocco and Co 

If he is one of Kozzies mates that's an added bonus

Too many run ons for me to recognise him. Now I know his number 43. What I did notice was he was sided up with Kossie and there are quite a few first nations people around. Whelan has an offsider, and a run on #33, who is a whippet.  

Later in the Monday session he was on the training bike. I assume they want to to increase his fitness levels and ease him in slowly.

I thought I saw him getting a little physiotherapy on his hip area.

This could really be great for both of them, Rivers isn't the slowest going around.

Brilliant people manager!

Wow! nice to see a P.R.O.P.E.R highlight reel.  He looks a real chance based on that

 

I like this move. neither player nor club has anything to lose and everything to gain. I'm happy to rookie list him and see what happens. he will be a good acquisition for Casey if nothing else and could be a smokey to play seniors if all goes right.

Quite a highlight reel.  Very fast in running and with his hands  

hope he still has the pace

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
