Does not make up for the art of crumbing especially to the front  of the pack. Who takes Kossies place at ground level when he wasted his time flying from the back over other Dees players who are in the team to mark the ball.

in other words ONE mark swallow in 100 games ( summers) does not make a summer!!! 

Imagine if all players did this an all positions team rules would be a disaster.

Inlove Kossie and appreciate that he is allowed plenty of space to play expansively because of his amazing ability. Thats what we love about home but speccys can be left to our talls thank . you 
 

 

Come on didn't Kozzies high flying grab give you just a little bit of a 😊

Kozz is our future and at his best is the most damaging small forward in the comp. I love the way he attacks the ball. Here’s to 100 more Kozz ❤️

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 

 

 

If you watch carefully. Kozzie applied a lot of pressure acts in the GF…

You have to watch him carefully

if this is not Dr. D in disguise he must be a clone, posts are almost of an identical nature. Unless you enjoy being trolled put him on ignore.

Without even touching on his forward craft, pressure, speed, the amount of goals he's kicked etc... he's one of the best dual sided players I thing I've seen in red and blue.

Your opinion fair enough. Mine is that he is not necessarily trying to take a lot of marks, and by the way Melksham does the same thing, but his idea is to disturb opposition from taking defensive marks and clearing along with the obvious view to keeping it inside 50. Plain enough for me.

If we could duplicate him so we can have one up forward and one in the midfield at all times, that would be great.

He's too good at both roles. Just so damaging. His evasive skills, but also his vision when he plays up the field is up there with the best mids in the game.

That would also mean duplicates of his defensive pressure. Yes please.

The best small forward we’ve had since the The Wiz 

Both sensational players but Kozzy has arguably more tricks due to his time in the midfield 

He is building consistently in output and tempering some of his aggression 

One of our very best and a great career so far 

He is a ripper

Totally agree @Willmoy1947.

A lot of the times in the past, he's had to make the decision to fly because there were one or two opposition about to easily mark the ball. Our entries were poor and you can see he almost always stays down if our tall forwards are competing.

He's so fast at getting back on his feet anyway.

With Eddie Betts retired now, I think he's the most skillful and exciting player in the league.

I've loved the way he's continued to learn to dial down the more aggressive elements of his game. 

The package of his offensive and defensive elements together make him more valuable than his counterparts such as Cameron and Bolton. People miss the one percenters he often does so well.

Watching him come from beside the kicker to crumb the ball down field in our forward line is something else

I hope we get to see him dance in the red and blue in a couple more Grand finals yet.

Congrats Kozzie!

What I'm loving about Pickett's overall progress is the perfectly normal maturation of a deeper awareness of the system and the situation. I think that is what sets players like Rioli and Bruest apart is the awareness that allows them to not only do the brilliant thing but also make sure it has brilliant effect.

For all the hype about Buddy & Roughhead, having the creativity of both Bruest and Rioli in a team is pure luxury. It was also an underrated aspect of Eddie Betts' game - about 3/4 of his disposals, throughout his career, were score involvements!

Pickett's growing game awareness and demonstrated commitment to personal growth are why any debate about the best small forward from his draft is now leaving Weightman in the dust.

You could almost feel bombers fans lamenting the fact they don't have Kozzi in their team. Amazing drafting by us.

Pick 12

And then Rivers at 32!

We broke the record for number of Zs on one banner, and his real name doesn’t even have one. 🤣

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
