    If he improves anymore he can probably go first ruck this Saturday.

    His consistency from game to game is getting better.  

    And certainly the 1%ers and pressure acts are always a joy to watch

    The list of small forwards who have been consistently delivering ~40 goals a season from just their second season woudl be a very short piece of paper.

    Come to think of it, there would be very few small forwards who reached 100 games at just barely 23yrs old. A testament to the fact he has continued to be dangerous and to make a contribution even when his form has been a bit off.

    I'm glad for him that he has put together a really nice run of form ready to celebrate his 100th with seven goals against the Buttersoft Bombers.

    100 games for just over 100 goals and one speccy. 

    His pressure acts are at least 50% running after the full back kicking in which is predictable pressure. 

    Memorable 1% ers are the block that allowed Tracs" Daicos"  goal in the  grandfinal ..that was elite 1% even if it was about the only thing he did on the day

    I'll never understand what motivates someone to go to the bother of trolling people on a footy forum.

    Most aberrant behaviour serves some sort of self protective purpose, so i hope you are ok. 

    Be that as it may, better for my wellbeing if I put you ignore.

    See ya.

    I find it @IRW kinda funny. The laugh you have that when something is so wrong you end up laughing. 
     

    But on a serious level, you are right. I hope he is ok and the people around him are ok too. This behaviour tends to transcend itself beyond the keyboard.

    Kozzie is a terrific example of player development and talent recognition.

    We drafted him much earlier than his expected position (presumably because we didn't want to miss him).

    Then we stuck with him through his first 20 games or so when spent much of the time running around like a headless chook.

    Now we have a gun small forward/mid who can perform show stealing miracles and who has another 200 games to go !!!!

    I think some underestimate how lucky we are to see a player of his calibre,

    The much lauded Cyril Rioli kicked 40 goals twice in eleven years of AFL. Kozzie has done it twice before he was 21.

    Last few years  40 goals, 41, 37 and 25 so far this year in 14 games.

    He is an outstanding talent that will go down as a melbourne great.

    He also seems to have control over any agro of the past. When on song like the lions game , he is worth more than the price of admission.

    Excitement machine now pulling in spekkies after a five goal haul.

    The ignore function is not only a great means of peace of mind but the most delightful way of having the last word😄.

    Kossie has been a great success in his first 99 games and his development into a great team player has been a joy to witness.

    For anyone who can, I would love to see statistical comparison at first 100 games mark of he and Cyril Rioli. From my admittedly average memory, I think Kossie might have Cyril covered. He certainly inspires the crowd to expect the unexpected whenever he is near the ball, much the same way Cyril did.

    I look forward to many years watching Kossie do what most others can only dream of doing, and isn’t that why we pay our money to witness elite sports-people do their thing. It will be great reward for Kossie if his fantastic abilities can contribute in a major way to a few more flags for him and his team mates.

    Continue that journey of reward in your hundredth on Saturday evening Kossie.

    Some absolute junk comments. 
     

    “100 games for just over 100 goals”? He’s kicked 150 goals in 99 games so ‘just over’ is doing some real heavy lifting there.

    Of the top 20 in his draft Koz is:

    #1 for games played

    #1 for goals, ahead of Cody Weightman on 119.

    #2 for goals per game behind Weightman, 1.75 vs 1.52. Georgiades is the only other to average >1 per game. 

    #4 for tackles behind Rowell, Serong and Tom Green. #5 on tackles per game as Hayden Young sneaks ahead of him. 

    #1 for goal assists overall and per game. 

    #2 for marks i50 overall and #3 for mi50 per game. 

    He’s elite, and he’s going to get better.

    150 goals for Kozzi

    Averages around 40 a season which is amazing consistency in his first 4-5 seasons

    His clearances, inside 50’s and disposals are all up this year

    In the top 3 small forwards in the league i reckon

    a pleasure to watch

    • 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.
