Should we expect Kozzy to be suspended for that head bump?

I can’t imagine after the week of lawsuits happening that the AFL hasn’t had a word to the MRP to be harsher on hits like this. 

I’d be shocked if he didn’t get a week.

    3 goals in front and couldn't have played worse up to the 20 minute mark of the quarter. Hopefully 2nd half is better.

    Also huge respect to Brodie Grundy.

    Ran in with such intense to stick up for Kozzie in that scuffle.

    All while English was getting ragdolled by Spargo and Bowey 😂

    In super slow mo it hits his chest and then the rest hits head area and he gets straight up, I would normally say he prov gets one, but no concussion, played game out, initial contact is to the chest… 4 weeks.

    Loving our attacking style of footy when we get that run going we look super dangerous like 2021 again

    Yep. If he flattened out Smith it would be worse. in a week that ex players are putting a case together & with the AFL trying to cut out the head high contact he'll get something 

    He'll get weeks unfortunately.  

    Can't be doing that in time where concussion is a very sensitive and serious concerning matter.

    It looked like he may of been protecting himself but I think he may get a week.

    Not sure it was head ? More chest area

    yep surprised if only a fine but hope so

    A couple of observations from the couch:

    We look much better when Max holds his marks.  (#Captain Obvious)

    Grundy needs to vary his tapouts in the centre rather than directing it behind him (ie towards the Dogs' goals) every time which the opposition are pouncing on.

    Pickett might not get suspended.  It was shoulder to shoulder I think and Smith bouncing straight back up will be in Kozzy's favour.  Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if the Tribunal gave him life without parole.

    It's a typical Demons v Dogs game with momentum swings.  Be nice to bury them in the 3rd quarter.

    sadly I think I agree. didn’t make head contact though so might get lucky. it’s a bad look , it’s early in the season so he might get made an example of.

    I think Libba mostly gives his all.

    Ha ha I understand what you mean. But we need him on the park and Byron was a star but people forget how good a player he was.

    Everything was a dumpster fire until they put those two and Gawn in the middle and then we started to work. We just can’t do without them. They are the most talented duo in the AFL. Their chemistry is outstanding. 

    Yeah it was, but Viney allows them to play attacking football knowing thedefensive side is covered.

    Kozzy will probably get a few weeks for that late hit. 

     

    Just like Uncle…


    They're talking a week on TV for kozzie.

     

    I think there's a massive argument that his intention was to hit the shoulder and he got 95% there- a free kick downfield for a late hit seems an appropriate penalty

    I don't think Daisy was there in the lap the girl's did. She was the captain & that could have been her final farewell. Bit disappointed 

    I hope it had nothing to do with geelong.

    He will be a big out. Stupid act. Brain fade.

    I know that was a great comeback but I don't think we are even playing that well yet.

    Four to five impacting the game as yet. 

    Defence doing well without May.

    Expecting an even bigger third.

    Go DEES

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
