@Adam The God if Koz and Trac both leave, how hyperbolic is it now to suggest this club will fold?

completely ridiculous

we're one of 18 teams in a domestic competition that doesn't have relegation

if he wants to go, go

if players don't want to be at your club there's no point trying to hold them

This is dramatically opposed to what I’ve been told. 
And also goes against what his manager said only a week or so ago. 
 

I would take this with a large grain of salt

He wouldn't be any more homesick than he was, but he may see this as an opportunity to go. I'm sure many others will.


As someone who regularly attends Adelaide Oval the idea of Port or Crows fans cheering for Kozzy will send me to a therapist.

True, but surely we need to address the elephant in the room? There is clearly something in these cultural concerns. We'd all think it if this was happening to another club.

 

My good friend is friends with him and I want him to suss it so bad but I don’t want to be that person hahahaha but he is my son’s and I’s favourite player wahhhhhh

Things can change. In the last week a significant amount of water has gone under the Petracca bridge. Who knows what impact that has had on Koz.

It’s not at all outlandish to think that he’s changed his mind in the last week. 

No it is not. But it’s also not outlandish to think that he said he’s feeling a bit homesick but he wants to stick around and the media is just feeding on our dead carcass.

So what's the answer? Just sack all off-field employees and the board?

The media smells blood and is trying to squeeze the last drop of blood.. it’s a feeding frenzy. Pathetic.. I’m despondent at the whole show, but I have a special dose of disgust for the media is all this.

I can’t believe that with ANB going, Brayshaw gone, and Petracca losing his mind that the club would ever entertain a Kozzy trade. They would promise him the world to keep him.

Just enormous pressure on Goodwin and his allegedly strong relationship with the players

Well he has an extra three weeks that he can spend at home compliments of Jeff Gleeson.
 

Hope that helps he and his young family. Is a tough time to be away from family with very young bubs.

One thing is for sure….STOP DRAFTING PLAYERS FROM WA and SA

Were the victorian options going to help us win a flag over Jackson, Pickett, Rivers and ANB?

Hah!  Like where Trac's from?

We will drop 10k supporters minimum if Koz and Trac leave .

I’m being a touch facetious, but losing Trac and Koz does huge damage to our marketability, let alone our chances of getting out of the bottom 6. 

PS if A-grade players don’t want to be here, that’s equally an existential issue for us.

Didn't WCW tell us she spoke to his partner and they were beyond happily settled in Melb?

The report says he's homesick and management and the club are confident they can work through it.

Can we ? Asking for a friend

Honestly, who is going to be next?

Rivers? McVee? JVR?

Heads have got to roll. Roffey, Pert and/or Richardson

McVee already flagged he wants to return to Perth. It was a very early interview before he'd found any success. But I expect it to happen one day once he has adequately increased his worth to be able to make the request

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #7 Jack Viney

    The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

    “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

    The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

    It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
