I'd get Bolton.

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

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 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.

luke parker, come down

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. 💖

Thanks WCW we are on the mend haven’t felt so crook for a long time. Still have been able to watch the game and highlights several times Kozzie and the boys all went up a few notches it was a great win.😁👍

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.

I like Kossie.

Jeez, great banner.

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.

Hi all! 

In celebration of Kozzy bringing up the ton over the weekend, I thought I'd share a lil' compilation I cooked up featuring 36 of our #36's greatest goals!

Enjoy!

Thanks - great highlights 

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.
