Your credibility is lower than Sam McClure's right now.  It's hard to believe anything you say.

Sorry, can't agree.

Which is a pretty sad indictment on McClure!

 

Kozzie was in Bunbury to play in a carnival game last weekend with the clubs blessing along with Neville Jetta.

Houston himself said he was a Dee until Trac decided to be a princess

Are you referring to his response to Maher and Gaze on SEN, SS22?

I recommend another listen then: he wanted to come home, not to a specific club, at the end of the year, Hinkley supported this, his manager then put to him the possibility of a specific destination, and he rejected it because 'throughout the year there was a little bit of unrest at Melbourne, it seemed, and it probably wasn't the best thing for me to do and I'd rather not go there'.

So, he never was a Dee, and for not-specific reasons. According to himself.

As Paul Connors said Melbourne were never giving up a top 5 pick.

Melbourne had him on the hook. I’m glad he jumped off but he was most certainly on.

Well, there was evidently a hook cast, with his Manager then dangling off it...

My post was only an attempt to clarify what Houston said, in response to what it was said he said.

It's interesting the breadth of opinions on Houston, and (the many?) other recruitment options. I think I'm in your camp on this one.

If you want to go around claiming you are quoting what was said then please get it right. Here is actually what he said. 

"My Manager said Melbourne are keen and I think we can get you home and we can keep it quiet.

“I guess throughout the year there was a bit of unrest at Melbourne it seemed,” Houston told SEN’s The Run Home.

“I let my manager know that it probably wasn’t the best thing for me – I’d probably rather not go there and that sort of opened everything right up and that’s when it opened things up for everyone else and I had to go through the whole process again.”

What are you talking about when you say I recommend another listen. 

It's clear from this quote that he was on to go to Melbourne when his Manager said it but then throughout the year there was a bit of unrest and then he told his Manager it wasn't the best thing for him and that's when it opened things up for everyone else and he says I had to go through the whole process again. 

 

Why are we talking about Houston in the Kozzie thread.

 Actually your question should be why are we talking about Houston full stop. 
I would reply sorry you’re right. I got sucked in. 
Then I would say why are we talking in a Kozzie forum titled him wanting to go home when he hasn’t. 

Edited by Its Time for Another

Perhaps Houston is homesick, like Kossie?

(now I'm talking aabout him)

Bit he was according to all reputable journos going to go to US until the Petracca saga.

That is undeniable that he favoured us 3 mths ago then changed his mind. 

🫡

Hope he stays.

A club can't limit itself to picking only local players but it if it's a choice between two similar players, it's getting to the point to pick the player in the same state.

Love you Kozzie. Must be hard for him with a young family.

Edited by leave it to deever


Time to put this thread to bed until next year, need to concentrate on those that are joining our club in the near future. So glad that Kozzie ended up staying, actually very happy that Kozzie never actually put in a request for transfer Nor Nominated another club. Let’s hope that MFC can find a suitable scenario for Kozz and family that will get them home when needed and that he and family feel really secure and surrounded by a loving family club that we can all feel proud of. 

Onto football matters, one of Kozzie’s goals next season is not to get booked with the MRO.

His absence will absolutely cost us at least one game early next year due to his ability to kick a 3, 4 or 5 goal haul every now and then. And we’re not in a position to be throwing away games.

Fremantle Dockers in box seat to land homesick Melbourne Demons star Kysaiah Pickett after 2025 season

Sorry to be 'that person', just wondering if anyone without pay wall can post what this is about? I assume it'll be click-bait, but interested if anything new here or just re-hashed manure?

it'll be the same story as every year; kozi is homesick and wants to go home to sa...no, wait...wa...no, wait, sa...maybe the nt?

The latter

It will sell papers in the west.  They cant land him and the dodger from the swans.  Would take 3 first rounders.

Also, he has NO interest in going home, with his partner and her family from Melb (as i understand it)….

So.. F off click baiters

 

Can the Hun run a story tomorrow with Serong, Brayshaw, and Pumpernickel (I know two Freo players) in Dees gear?

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
