We should definitely analyse everything anyone says about Kozzie to within an inch of its life. That's usually a pretty good practice.

    I watched thebi tee ire Trac. It’s hard with Trac - he starts saying he’s super confident, then once pressed was less certain. End of the interview I was just confused. 

    I guess you could say he was confident until he wasn't.

    That’s a big call I don’t think anyone was definitive on LJ come to think of it. 

    They are close and let’s hope he knows.

    My words of wisdom from no internal knowledge of these things ...

    If he goes, he goes, if he stays he stays.
    Until he makes a decision, save your breath.

    I asked Trent Rivers about Kozzie at the season launch last Wednesday, he told me the whole team is working on him to stay.  He seemed pretty confident Kozzie would stay, he said he loves it at Melbourne.  Hopefully Trent was right!

    Exactly, we'll live longer that way too.

    Going by his comment it is safe to say Rivers will extend his own contract which expires this year.🙂

    Also, Wikipedia says Kozzy is the nephew of Byron Pickett (which we all know) AND Neville Jetta.  Can anyone confirm or deny that?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kysaiah_Pickett

    That was made known when he first came to Melbourne, he was living with "Uncle Nev" when he first came to the club.  

    One of his cousins is a student at my school, she is a Wanganeen.  He has family in WA, SA and Vic.

    Hopefully!  The way he comes across he seems very happy.  

    I've been told that as long as he gets the money he's happy with he will be staying.

    I'd say his deal will be done early on in the season.

    Unless he’s confided in one teammate or a small clique of teammates, the players don’t yet know. The whole playing group is hella close so you’d imagine if one knew, they’d all eventually know.

    If that's the case, I say pay him what he wants and get this deal done now. No point dragging out the inevitable and encouraging unnecessary, destabilising noise from the likes of Kane Cornes.

    What would be a fair deal for Rivers as a 2nd level defender in one of the AFLs best or the best defences? 

    4 x 450k  ---1.8mil?

    I thought that comment was more related to Trent Rivers not Pickett?

    FYI this is regarding Rivers.

    I have no intel on Pickett.

    More like 3/4 * $250-$300.  Usually, the longer the term the less money.

    Freo offered Acres about $150-200k, grossly undervaluing him (to help get Jackson).  They upped it a little bit but he went to Carlton anyway:

    "Acres is one of a number of Fremantle players who were offered below-par contracts to stay at the club, with the Blues pouncing on the chance to secure the 26-year-old on a three-year deal at around $350,000 per season".

    Just can't see Rivers who is still only 21 and yet to cement himself in the best 22 getting the same as Acres.

    I think as fans we tend to overestimate what players get paid especially those outside the top 5-10.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
