Kozzzy.  We love you. We love the excitement.  
 

He’s having nearly games.  Nearly kicked that goal. Nearly got that huge mark. Nearly got that chase down.  It will only take a quick reset to change into a special game.  
 

3 mindset things 

1- crumb the pack at pace  - front and centre - or at the back (the side is nowhere) 🔥🔥🔥

2- burn them off (don’t stop) 🚀🚀🚀

3- those hangers - count to 3 then jump ✈️✈️✈️(it’ll stop the “way too early” syndrome)

What you're saying is that he doesn't play smart enough

Is he though? It's been demonland narrative all year, but the stats don't really back that up.

Compared to 2021, he's averaging the exact same number of goals, marks and disposals. He's averaging more goal assists, overall tackles and I50 tackles.

We've got to stop comparing Kozzie of this year to 2021. Just because it was a premiership year means squat, he was only 20 so improvement should be expected. He has since become a much more lethal small forward and influenced games much greater. 

His past 2 years has shown how far he has come since 2021, and it's because of his past 2 years that indicates he is down on form.

Kozzie is an awful set shot, which has got to be mental given he has sublime skills. 

It also seems like everyone missed that he did actually finally take a hanger against Carlton.

In terms of the original question - I'd like to see how he goes in this finals series before making a judgement.

I don't think he's that bad. Would like some stats. Has gone off the boil recently but I don't think he's been bad in the past.

I think the blokes really down in confidence.

Just a giant NOPE!

Now? 3.6 from our last two finals at the MCG in front of massive crowds, and a fair bit of erratic behaviour.

That's at least 9 shots on goal with some physicality!

6.3 and we would probably be playing tomorrow.

Made some errors but not many small forwards have 9 shots in 2 finals.

Charlie Cameron was mostly stinky last week. Jamie Elliot’s kicked 1 goal in 2 finals. Bobby Hill hasn’t done much since his first quarter against us.

I’m hoping for a more mature, calmer, more complete Pickett next year but overall I thought his ability to go to full forward and create chances was impressive and very close to turning around or winning both games.

He’s a composed heart beat away from being  a top 25 player in the comp. Atm he just looks a fraction  too rushed when shooting on the run. Hope he can meet that challenge.

I spoke to a former demon last night who wanted to remind Kossie and the current players kicking the ball is all about smooth strokes and not belting the cover off it. Kossie operates at speeds us mere mortals aren’t capable of but you’re right, there’s times he has just take that extra quarter second. 

And in fairness he’s kicked some blinding goals when he does kick it purely, but there’s chances to either dish off balance up.

Would hazard a guess it's mostly the technique / method.

He doesn't get his upper body over the pill at any stage.  Sits back on it and kicks up & unders instead of through the ball.

His present method hasn't changed since i've been watching, which means he's always struggled with any distance beyond about 35 meters.

Hard to believe this aspect (set shots > more distance with accuracy) of his game hasn't been improved by now.

Apparently though, if we just keep winning the contested, defend to the death and keep up with our repeat & record entries into 50, the rest will just take care of itself.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
