Plenty of deals have been torn up at the last minute. 

Terrific to have some insight from posters but until the club announces it I’ll remain cautiously (but very) optimistic.

This of course is the 'bottom line'. 

Hopefully it's soon.

Based off absolutely nothing but general vibes, Kozzy has signed a 5 year deal and it will be announced tomorrow.

(only saying tomorrow because how cool would it be if I was right?)

You raise a good point though deeTrac. And yes it would be cool.

I can see Pert and Roffey making this announcement a big deal as it is, locking away the golden generation ( as Craig Foster would describe it - and apolgies to lesser lights on the list still not signed).

Trac, Oliver, Gawn, Viney May, lever, Grundy, Gus, Trent,......then Kozzie.

A big message to send to the football world about a club culture which would then enabale further attractive players to be traded into us over the next few years.

Fingers crossed.

Goody spoke about it on 3AW. The usual cliches (working with management etc.) but did finish with a "we think something's not too far away".

Around the 4 minute mark.

By the by, Lee Matthews mentioned he listened to an interview with Brody Grundy a few weeks back and that it discuss all our efforts on kicking with Choco Williams.  Reckon that's your interview, @Demonland 😁

Rest easy DD.  It is just about done.  They’re just sorting a couple of points with the Dees. There is no other Club as a spoiler, just working through some small operational t’s & c’s with the Club. 

Some poor lawyer somewhere feeling the breath of hundreds of Demonlanders on their neck!

Can back up what a few have said. Kozzy and his management as well as the club are almost in the position of dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s. It’s as close as it’s ever been. Would imagine in the next couple of weeks at some point it will be announced. Brilliant news!

 

Although from a personal stand point, I hope they hold the announcement off until the week of Round 10 when we play Port on the Friday night😂

you mean the ai bots?

Kosi was one of the last players signing autographs at the open training session at Prospect Oval. So maybe he was refining his signature before signing on.

Well I am absolutely certain, that with each day that goes by, Kozzie is closer to staying, or leaving.

PS; For those apparently in the know, is there any news on duration.

Pffft, no, the grads are the ones using the ai bots.  The partners haven't yet figured out how to make an account on Open AI 😋 (said with all due respect to the partners etc etc sorry Mr RedLeg)

Just maybe he's not GONE

Any news on jj?

I might be one of the few hoping we keep him.

Few probably want him to go. He just may become a necessary cap casualty.

Melbourne want to keep him and would sign him up tomorrow if they could but JJ (understandably) is holding off talks while his position in the team is still not certain. He doesn’t want to keep playing at Casey or as the sun and knows if he went elsewhere he’d get games week in week out. He has plenty of interest. He doesn’t want to leave, but he wants to play footy. Kade Chandler is in the same position. Plenty of interest, and just holding off to know his place in the team won’t get knocked off once all our big names return. The club want them both to stay. But they also wanted Bedford to stay last year by offering him a 3 year contract. Interesting position to be in.
