    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: 2025 Season Preview

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
