Maybe the club can buy a handsome mansion in a very attractive location somewhere around Melbourne.

Uncle Byron's seasonal holiday house, you know during AFL season 😉

    Great to hear Byron jumped on board for the pitch, frightening to hear it is in the position where they needed to ask Byron to jump on board for the pitch.

     

    Maybe it’s not frightening maybe it’s about getting family involved because family is important to him. 
    I don’t think they got Byron to read his contract. They probably got him in for a chat and to talk about how limited a time you have playing footy and how important it is to do it in a good environment like the one we are offering him. 
    The fact that his own uncle who also happens to be a decorated footballer is advocating for our club is a wonderful position to find ourselves in. I imagine that if Jackson’s mum advocated for our club he might not be getting plastered on the back of every WA publication calling him No Action Jackson. 
     

    I also imagine he’d be having chats to another uncle of his, Neville, who I’m sure would also be encouraging him to stay.

    If Byron was involved in the pitch then fair to say Mark Williams might have been the one who orchestrated this.

    I meant more so that it is so on knife’s edge that they’re calling in the big guns.

    They’re not calling on Byron if they’re confident his signature is a fait accompli

    Lets not discount how involved his manager will be in this. Managers have to play a little hard to get to try and get the best for their client.

    Also, on ya Bryon!

    AND remember best for themselves. More money for Kozzie means more money for the manager. That aside wonder what that ex Port so called champion has to say now particularly when he said Kozzie will go to Port as his uncle, Bryon was an ex player there. He forgot Bryon also played at the Demons. Great Bryon is backing us in this saga.

    that seems be what the article is saying

    Didn't read it to be honest, just the headline jargon about meeting with family during Gather Round to discuss his future. Click bait much.

    I don’t get the city life thing one bit. It’s not like Perth or Adelaide are country towns. They are still big and have their own football crazy media. 

    have you lived in Perth?

    I think we all need to get over LJ. He is not that former number 1 pick who left us for money, not to go home to family, but to the Giants and on the way out, slammed our club and our young future captain, telling porkies about only visiting Sydney to have a look around, when videos that were obviously made weeks earlier, were the next day available for sale ,about him becoming a Giant.

    LJ went home, on a crazy contract we would not and should not have matched and also for family reasons, that are fully understandable to those that know of them. We need to move on.

    I will not boo LJ, like I booed the other guy, who had an unremarkable career at 2 more clubs and is the only footballer I can really ever recall booing.

    Good luck LJ, you always will be a Dees Premiership player.

    Gee that's tough. I wish I could remember more often not to get caught up in the emotion of a game and not bag players. At least not ours. I know many posters think Lj did our club wrong and maybe he did but gee what a lot of pressure some of them are under.  I think what happened to Watts was really rough and the guy did incredibly well to weather all the critics.  Yea they get big bucks but I'm sure it's tough for them to be under so much scrutiny.

    I really hope Kozzie stays with us during our so called flag window of the next 3 to 4 years. Yep, he has the chance to go home and be part of the collective blame for a clubs failings or in later decades say ....yea I was a part of that Demon Dynasty of three premierships.  Looking forward to seeing him play this weekend.

    I reckon it just demonstrates the professionalism of the club. 

    Pull out all stops to keep a generational player.

    The article was adamant that its not a cash issue.  So the Club understands this and well done for using the Byron connection as part of the selling team. Kudos to Byron also .  The Dees are clearly best fit if Kossie can make Melbourne work as a place to live. I suspect Byron understands this also.

    I reckon length of contract perhaps be the issue here

    Apparently we have offered Kozzie a long term contract and if that is true, then it is fully understandable that he would need to take time to consider it.

    However Goody was pretty positive in his presser this morning.

    Isn’t Uncle Nev employed by Collingwood these days?

    So? I guarantee you that he would still put his nephew’s best interest ahead of his new club.
    Especially when the conversation regarding Kosi staying or going revolves around family and being closer to them. I don’t think leaving to another Victorian club is even on the cards.

Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
