    I think the best is yet to come.

    He's certainly got a lot of room to improve.

    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

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
