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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
