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.

This just reminded me of Kozzy trying to get Jetta to wear (or possible even have) his premiership medal after the GF. Great stuff.

There's a new diversion in the out of contract young stars saga...

The Swans always play their cards close to their chest when it comes to AFL trades, and insiders rarely agree to speak publicly about contracts and offers. But well-placed sources suggest Sydney are willing to offer De Koning a monster, eight-year contract to lure him north. We contacted the Swans with questions about their interest in De Koning; they did not respond by the time of publication.

The AFL will love it. The Swans are not allowed to bottom out. They need Another long Contract as Buddy looked totally gone in the GF

Maybe they were after Grundy and missed him and up popped "De Conning" instead.

Why they would want him........

He should be a very good player. 8 years is a very serious offer, although so was Kurt Tippett!!

Pop Corn?

Not even the good De Koning! 

I joke, this one is pretty good as well.

I really feel for these young blokes, imagine being 18, 19, 20 barely able to cook your own toast in the morning, and then being asked to move to the other side of the country and having multiple major organisations offering you enormous sums of money and having to weight that up. it's admittedly a good problem to have, but geez it'd be a bit to work through 

For the record i reckon Kozzie will stay, my read is he and his manager are expecting Kozzie to improve quite a bit this year and as such his value may also jump, i suspect the delay is about 80% about getting the best possibly contract and 20% making sure Melbourne the city and club are the right fits for him, though i reckon just about any manager in Australia would be trying to get him to stay given we seem likely to be around the mark and possibly winning some more silverware in the next few

You were spot on with Brayshaw signing his contract last year.👋

So I'm backing you and your sources with Kozzie🤩

Haha i've got no actual information on this one beyond clubs and particularly Melbourne are really excited about Kozzies improvement and how much damage he can do spending more time in the middle. he's genuinely challenging the front liners for time in there already.

Also could have all the hallmarks of Angus Brayshaw 2.0 and holding out only to re-sign....

Most of these journos have no idea

You definitely have the runs on the board! Above all though I think your take makes a lot of sense, this would be the sensible approach from Kozzie and his manager. Have another great season and make your next contract the bumper one. 

One of the boys an the debrief teased info about Liam Henry and said something about Kozzi signing next week 🤷🏿‍♂️
