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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
