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

And Collingwood can't even spell Isaac.

    i'd go the other way

    not just because his contract length and price would be less, but i think we'd have to pay less for him

    would happily have either

    I like the Bolton idea because he's two years younger and fills that void we have of players in that age bracket, but he's also more damaging and consistent.

    But I can see what you mean by Ryan, and fair enough.

    So, our ‘word guy’ gives us each a word to place on the banner. My word was “Kysaiah” and if you think I checked and double-checked and triple-checked the spelling you’d be spot on.

    PS I even quadruple-checked. 😁

    Bolton is not in our price range. He is already on a large, long-term contract and the WA clubs are all over him. It is fanciful.

    You don't think we have the cap space? I reckon we do, it's just whether we think it's better spent on another area of the ground or ultimately a better player.

    We have been contending for the last four years and so we have almost certainly been backloading contracts.

    Petracca, Oliver and Kossie are now all on mega long-term deals.

    You can always fit players in by extending and backloading contracts, but eventually you have to pay the piper (unless you are the Pies or Cats who have the advantage of being destination clubs and pay only 75 cents on the dollar).

    Other clubs (Hawthorn, Crows, Saints, Roos etc) have been front loading contracts in recent years and have war chests to spend. 

    The way for us to reload is with cheap veterans and via the draft.

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

     

    Well I have given up hope he would finally grab one. !!! Yes it was good but he is far better at ground level in our team.

    Wasn't that a typo.

    I'm sure you meant Messiah.

    We were all so disappointed on Saturday night we ended up missing the game due to illness me included and ended up watching in three separate homes to limit cross infection. We all watched the game and we’re texting each other all night so many memorable moments. Kozzie really turned it on for his 100th, his reflexes are sublime, quicker than the eye can detect, watching that ball to zmilkshake, Jake to Windsor, goal and then turning two bombers inside out and beautiful pass out the back, wow. Memorable game Kozzie.

    The evolution of Kozzie.

    I was rewatching the game, don't judge I live in a shipping container in Somalia. Anyway I noticed this kozzie tackle where he body checked the guy fiercely in the 2nd qtr but released him almost straight away. I thought this was a win for the player and the coaches. A year ago Kozzie would have driven him into the ground. Love that he has learnt to control the aggression.

    He would be very good for 1-2 years, after that not so. But are there others ? but at his best, top of the tree.

    A shipping container in Somalia? So good to hear the varied locations of where folks are tuning in from! Are there many dees out that way?

    I didn’t see this at the time (one misses a lot of the live action when one chooses to sit in the Bay of carnage aka M3) but Mrs Frittata said, “Sch!tt are you allowed to do that?!” I said, “Do what?” She said “Pick someone up by the waist then drop ‘em like they’re hot.” I thought she was imagining things ‘til I watched the replay, so I texted her, “To answer your question… Yes, apparently you can!” 😂😂😂

    On a serious note, watching Kozzie is mesmerising but also sometimes uncomfortable because you just know that if he’s reported, he ain’t getting off.

    I hope you and your fam are feeling better now, DZ. You missed a cracker of a game but I’m sure you enjoyed watching the awesome win on TV. 💖

    Occasionally watch a game with a charming bloke on here as Nairobi Demon in Kenya when passing through. Somalia it's all round ball for the locals and rugby.

    Last comment on that tackle, reminded me of George Gregan in the Rugby Test against NZ. Not that I would even want to lose him to the sport but Kozzie would be an amazing back rower for Australia. He has a step as good as the great Campese.

    As others have indicated, he has matured enormously this season.

    Controlling his aggression, choosing better when to have a ping and when to give it off.

    And can be trusted to cause massive headaches when he goes into the midfield.

    He has rounded his game out very nicely.

    It's a great time to support the dees.

    Great edit TMD! I bet there were 116 other goals that were unlucky to not make the cut.

    Kozzy is as exciting as anyone we've brought into the club over the last decade. I think the best is yet to come as well.

    • 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?
