Kozzy will cop 2 weeks just on how bad it looked, if he kept his feet planted there wouldn't be an issue, unfortunately he jumped at Smith after he got rid of the ball.

    Also huge respect to Brodie Grundy.

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

    Didnt see that from behind goals at other end.  Great to hear he flew the flag

    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 

    Chose to leave the ground and definitely hit the head, doesn't look good imo

    I think you could argue a serious fine

    stupid thing to do. But I don’t think the head was the target 

    If he gets a week so be it

    Anyone who doesn’t think Kosi gets weeks for that is being very hopeful. It was is a bad look and it was unnecessary, late and his feet left the ground. 
     

    If Bailey was concussed he’d get 4. Because impact was low, he might get 2. He wears a Melbourne jumper too don’t forget. So minimum 10.

    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 

    Zero weeks......because Patrick Cripps.

    Probably more as the afl will make an example of him because after all he is a Melbourne player!!!

    One less game for the Dees though

    Chandler way to slow to kick it to max then

    Way too slow to kick it to anyone. So many open players and he burnt them all.

    Nibbler more involved this third qtr but his usage has been average.

    Chandler needed to hit Kozzie then.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
