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 Cl

Will NOT get a scrap of work done today. Nothing productive, all day, nothing. Soz, clients, but KOZZY HAS RE-SIGNED! Everything else will just have to wait until tomorrow.

I’m whooping and crying like a crazy person and my son just asked me why I was so happy and did I just win Tattslotto. I said, “Better than that.. KOZZY’S RE-SIGNED!!!” He said “What’s a ‘Kozzie’.” 😂😂😂 Bless his ignorant lil heart!

Great news... his development physically (Look at him now)  and experiences is really clicking this year.  He has become such a dangerous player over the whole field, not jus in the fwd half.

Given how young is still is and talented, the future is bright as he makes such a difference to the dynamic nature of our side.

I didn’t realise it was King's Birthday round coming up already!

I can't begin to say how wrapped i am about this. I just love watching him play footy so, so much.

Already one of my all-time favourite dee's player, only one demon player is ahead of him for me in terms of just loving watching him play, and that's the Wiz - and now he is dee moving forward i'm sure in time i won't be able to split them

Big, big tick to the footy club for how they have managed this situation - and all the other recent big contract negotiations, including Jackson’s - which by the by is increasingly looking like pure genius.

They have locked away not only our best players, but heart and soul players.

Salem, Maxy, Trac, Oliver, Gus, Lever, Petty, Nibbler, Viney, May, Fritter and now Kozzie all locked in (not sure where langers is at contract wise).

Add Rivers, Mcvee and Sparrow all recently resigning and Grundy and Hunter being in the first year of multiyear contracts and we are in fantastic shape list wise.

That is all down to the off field team and is yet another reminder that sustainable on field success is not possible without quality governance and management systems.

Going off the statement it seems like the club involved his family a fair bit in this process which is very professional from the footy club. So kudos to them!

 

And also, culturally appropriate to involve Aboriginal player's families in such discussions and processes (assuming that is ok with said player).

The importance of involving family when negotiation with Aboriginal players (again, with their permission) is reflected in this quote from Kossie:

“The club has embraced me and my family, and I can’t thank them enough for their support. Everything I do is to make my family proud and the respect and understanding my teammates and coaches have shown us means a lot."

Great news. Wouldnt be surprised if his game picks up too now he has no distractions.

Cornes will swing his attention onto the coaches and who will get sacked  first.

He'll stick his fork into someone for sure.

Fritter signed until 2026 too

Club doing an amazing job - what a contrast from the dark days when players couldnt get out quick enough

I've never been prouder of this footy club, keeping a list together let alone a successful list is no mean feat. 

In the past there was always that one or two that had to be sacrificed when we thought we had something building. For the first time ever we have literally lined up all our crucial ducks in a row and got them locked away for years to come. This is an extremely rare position to be in and I can't thank Lamb and co enough for the brilliant work they do behind the scenes to make it happen. Drink it all in people!

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
