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.

    You inspired me to check.

    Cyril 189 games for 275 goals, or 1.45 goals per game; Kozzie 99 games for 150 goals represents 1.51 goals per game.

    Impressive. And special.

    And delicious

    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!

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
