If you haven't watched this mini doco of Kozzie going home don't miss it.

It was amazing to watch Clarrie, Goodie and Shane McAdam enjoy theย  moments in Kozzie's country. It is very emotional and gives a great hindsight into our Kozzie's life before football and the influence of family has had. It was also wonderful to see the joy and inclusion that Clarrie had with the community. What a great idea to include Clarrie on the trip. He really connected with everyone. Congratulations to the Club. A great initiative.

Itโ€™s heartwarming to see where and how Kozzie was raised by his very close, very loving family, and then to see the beautiful reunion.ย

Thank you, MFC. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’™


What a very special reminder of what a humble past ย Kozzie came from, and what he and his caring extended family and community have achieved, to whom we owe so much thanks.

And great to take Goody, Clarrie and Shane to share the whole experience.

PS - at first glance my MFCSS immediately kicked in and I thought that Kozzie was leaving usย ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Iโ€™m an old and emotional fart when it comes to our Dees. ย I shed a few tears! ย 

That is a beautiful story and just another one of those things this club does so well. We seem to do a lot right for a club with a suspect culture. For those critics of Clarry, look at how invested he is in this club and how we look after our own, we don't try to offload them.

It's hard to believe that not that long ago our indigenous brothers could go into town after 6 pm.ย 

I congratulate the club for putting this together. I am overjoyed to see how happy Kozzie is and Clarry as well.

To the critics and the press who continually look for an angle to bring this club down all I can say is you are wrong. This playing group are as tight as any I have seen and we are a club that looks after its own and a lot of that stems from our coach

Very nice.

no club or sponsor branding? ย Thought they would have loved to be involved in something so positive? ย Anyway, loved it. ย Well done all

A beautiful little doco.

How many of us would love to have the same feeling of family and community that Kozzy has?

Also, a great idea to take Clarry along - somebody at the club knows what they are doing.


Well that was beautiful โ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

A big thanks to kozzy for sharing something so special with everyoneย 

ย 

Love the authenticity of Kozzy's story, was beautiful to watch.

ย 

Lots of thoughts ran through my head watching that! Isnโ€™t privilege such a tiered thing - Kozzy had a disadvantaged upbringing compared to Oliver or Goodwin, but compared to Nan he might as well have been raised in a palace. Itโ€™s so hard to fathom the idea of having to be out of town by 6pm or getting locked up. That was THIS lifetime, not some ancient history. Far out.

Love that Goody, Clarrie and Shano took the time to head there with Kozzy and connect. The bond will run just that bit deeper with every step like that.

Great post.ย 

Kozzie rightly is so proud.ย  This video reminds me of the trip Jimmy took to Yuendumu with Jurrah.ย 

ย 

As an aside, it is great to see Clarry so happy ๐Ÿ˜; I chuckled at the 12 pieces of damper he scoffed downย ย  Goodwin had a bit of a laugh about it ... will probably make him do 100 x 100 sprints ...ย to work it all off.ย  ๐Ÿ˜Š

Whilst everybody is patting themselves on the back "on how far we have come", Indigenous players still have to put up with racist rubbish on Social Media, if you see it, call it out.


Beautiful doco spot on in all ways with our Club showing how we can take care of some things together.ย 

The bonding of Kossie and his family plus his newborn is spine tingling and tears in the eyes stuff.ย 

Then to expose Clarry and Shane along with Goody is a masterstroke that will bond those guys even more with our newly emerging playing group.

I believe we have started a rebuild on the run both on and off the field.ย 

The Demon fans that are dooming and glooming are half empty doubters and thanks to 32,000 last week that atmosphere and noise with all the kids showed how good our start from our slump has been. We can again see the future with the old and new and not to bottom out.ย 

This doco shows that Clubs are sometimes more than results on the field and I will be interested in what public credit our Club is given for this initiative of soul, spirit and humanity.ย 

10/10 Dees congratulations.ย

THIS lifetime means the 1960s and 1970s ?ย

Goodwin is a lovely person. I still think he is too guarded in his appearances and would love to see him come out more.

You get to see a bit of why the players love him...and why he is so important to this team.

Being a senior coach is about so much more than tactics and team selection.

The single most important aspect of being a senior AFL coach is bringing people together.

You can have 100 assistants who are tactical masterminds, but if the senior coach doesn't have the respect, love and support of his players, the club is cooked.

See West Coast.

I am in agreement, I think his media persona is quite stiff and rehearsed.

The more personal, humans side is obviously very highly regarded internally and itโ€™s good to see that in this light.

Kozzie could not possibly sell himself any better at the moment, heโ€™s a very grounded and mature kid for his age and fame

No one could survive their performances to be fair. But the Club have not been very proactive on trading recruiting or drafting and held onto some flag heroes a bit too long I fear.

Hope they still dither a couple more years they deserve to be bottom.ย

Probably due to every word and deed being heavily and sometimes venomously (in Goodwin's case) scrutinised by that same media (and others.).

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
