Massive omen for this thread and tonight's game. I've just bumped into Kozzy's old man.

We had a brief chat and exchanged pleasantries about the Dees, the GF and shared photos of us at the GF and a the like.

As all Demonlanders would expect i politely asked what Kozzie's movements we're for next year, he told me with a grin that I'm sworn to secrecy that Melbourne and Kozzie are in good hands.

Take it as you like, the grin and smile tell me all i needed to know.

We will win big tonight.

God's Country Adelaide.

Couldn't make the trip because of work.

I'm turning 73 in less than 4 hours, have recently retired and the only thing I want more than good wine, and Melbourne winning, is the thought of living somewhere between Goolwa and Encounter Bay. Normanville/Yankalilla also sound fine. I worked in the wine Business and have been to SA over 50 times, mainly to McClaren Vale and that area. Apart from it being God's own country, anywhere north of the areas I mentioned get too hot for me in summer...

Any body language guru's keen to submit a report on his demeanor during the game and how it will play out for contract negotiations?


Kossie standing with all the boys, grinning and laughing after the game.  Nice sight except for some reason he has a Port Adelaide towel round his neck?  Assume it is a positive sign given nobody batted an eye lid!

Loved Ralph for the 1st time ever, got real excited. Must say he's got some credit for awhile now. Kozzie staying is such a key piece of the team. He makes us hard to plan for.

Most important signing in a long time. Young kid appears to have it all. Opposition sides would be going a million plus a year. So good on him if he does stick with us.

 

Big win for everyone involved in the club tonight.

They threw the kitchen sink at us tonight.

Can someone who had tech smarts send Kozzie a video of Melbourne players being introduced at the start of the game.

Max (deservedly) got the biggest cheer, Kozzie was a close second


Strength is front and centre ground ball inside 50s which was poor tonight. Needs to stop flying with the big KPFs

One day he'll pull one down, then every time there after he'll do the same.  The one skill he hasn't yet mastered, but watch out if he does as I think it will make him pretty much a complete player.

On another note, I didn't notice him much on the ball tonight, which I thought was disappointing, because the games he's played significant time there, I've thought he's looked really good.

Why didn't we give him or Rivers a run in the midfield?

His round 1 performance where he played a fair bit in the midfield was so dynamic. Thought we needed a spark and he would have been perfect.

We didn't run him through the midfield because we didn't have Spargo in the side staying i50.

Certainly wasn't kossie's best night - the free against him for dumping Baker was at a very very crucial time 


Please please please stay. ..ON THE GROUND

He has no timing. Jumps way too early.

Kozzie needs to get back to basics, he’s trying to do the impossible all the time.

Just hunt the footy and bodies and the rest will come

Was he right, several ground balls he was hesitant and sat off when he’d usually be either first in at ground level or first to pounce on the defender. Thought he just wasn’t his usual self in last night’s game

Also states we are keen on getting Kozzie’s good mate, Liam Henry as well.

Don’t know if we’re still interested. It mentions our interest earlier on but are we still interested in Henry?

The Herald Sun reported in March the Demons were interested in securing Pickett’s good mate Liam Henry from Fremantle, given he was out of contract and out of favour.”

I might have misread it as being present not past interest.

Agree Dazzle. I feel like in the first half in particular we looked very much like the Demons of 2017-20. Everyone right in at the coal face, no one outside with any speed. We couldn’t carry away from the contest, and I was surprised Koz wasn’t used.

 

The Herald Sun reckons Kozzie has agreed to stay at the MFC and is only dealing with them for a 4 year deal.

Happy days. massive to keep Kozzie on board given the way his career is trending! also i believe means all major potential departures are now signed up for this year so no distractions or will he won't he questions

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
