Best defence would be that he was trying to kick the ball off the ground.

Iā€™m not convinced he did a lot wrong. Bumps are unavoidable when playing are competing for a loose ball. But the AFL will punish him on the result.Ā

    Best defence would be that Kozi never goes to ground and always keeps his feet. Ablett Jr was the only other player Iā€™ve seen do this, but Kozi does it even more so.Ā

    I can handle losing last night as we had a ton out (as they did too).

    What I canā€™t handle is the knowledge all summer that our most talented player with the biggest point of difference will be making his season debut as late as Gather round under the concussion climate that we now live under.

    We canā€™t possibly go unscathed against that mob and this particular player struggles with education when it comes to high contact and footballing acts that are obsolete, or at least putting himself in these vulnerable MRO positions.

    Iā€™m sure this will go as far as the appeals, so fingers crossed we get on the right side.

    In the slow mo freeze frame before the hit Moore is standing up and any bump if there was one would be be to Mooreā€™s waist. When Moore drops in the last second Kozzieā€™s feet are moved and he falls hitting Moore with his arm.

    Moore caused this but we know what will happen.

    Thanks Redleg. Ā  Best description of the episode yet. Ā

    Had this involved Daicos, Cripps, Cameron there would be absolutely nothing to see, in fact they would have earned a free kick for low contact.Ā

    Not so sure about that. We wouldnā€™t make a good cricket team. We rarely appeal.

    Needs to stop letting the team down with these silly incidentsĀ 

    Donā€™t think itā€™s fair to paint Kozzy with this brush this time around. Was doing what every player should be doing in those circumstances- engage your opponent, get them off balance and win the ball. Only difference here is that Moore disappears through the floor after Kozzy had moved to engage Moore. Once heā€™d committed to engaging Moore with his momentum, he canā€™t shift it.Ā

    This was very different from any of his priors. Ā  Ā Moore contributed 100% to this one. Ā

    He's stuffed because rightly or wrongly that's where tribunal decisions are heading, but if not the collective melt of Pies fans will be tremendous.

    At this stage, over 70% of respondents to the poll think he will be suspended.

    I don't think it's the bump as such that's the problem.Ā  Where Kozzy will be in trouble is the late action of raising his arm and hitting Moore in the head.Ā  I'll be pleasantly surprised if he gets off.

    A crucial year for Goodwin next year and heā€™s already behind the 8 ball before heā€™s had a chance to even review the season - Ā with Kozzie missing the first 3-4 weeks.

    Agree, I'm not sure why he had to raise the elbow. That's the bit I didn't realise what he did until I saw it replayed.

    It just doesn't help us or him being suspended again. In face it's getting a little tiresomeĀ

    I hope the club asks for the medical report from the Pies. Curious that Moore was ok to continue to play before mysteriously being subbed out when the game was basically all one way traffic.Ā 
    Sometimes stinks.Ā

    I will be surprised if he gets off too because it is Kossie.

    But I don't see why lifting your arm to protect your ribs and shoulder is dirty. We have just lost a player for the season to a spleen injury!

    Raising your elbow is dirty, but covering your ribs is not.

    In addition to Moore going to ground in an unusual way (sliding on his knees), the other two things in Kossie's defence are that 1) he tries to soccer the ball off the ground; and 2) he does not look at Moore.

    Should get off, but won't. Sadly.Ā  Meanwhile Maynard who deliberately clobbered a player who will never play again as a result and had zero penalty, had the audacity to take issue with Kozzie.Ā  Makes me sick.

    Yeah youā€™d have to wonder if they wouldā€™ve been so conservative if they had a game next week, as Moore wouldā€™ve copped the 12 day rule.

    'They had a ton out'? DeGoey and Mihocek. Mitchell is cooked and McStay is bang average.Ā  Who else? We had 5 AA superstars missing,Ā  Windsor,Sparrow and Spargo. That's forgetting about Brayshaw and Smith who weren't able to replace. Sorry, no comparison.Ā

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Mondayā€™s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from eitherā€™s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Having convincingly defeated last yearā€™s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Clubā€™s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak.Ā Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Letā€™s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the teamā€™s neck.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and ā€¦ it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterdayā€™s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourneā€™s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldnā€™t get any worse. Well, it did. And whatā€™s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasnā€™t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyonā€™s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourneā€™s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourneā€™s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterdayā€™s 7 goals 21 behinds.Ā 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. Iā€™ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards?Ā Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?Ā
