KOZZY A DEMON FOR LIFE!!!

KLV
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

It may be click bait but not sure we should dismiss this.

A poster who is usually well informed (can't remember who) mentioned in a training thread that Goodwin was annoyed last year at a recruiter closely watching a particular player.  That club got the player's trade request on a 7yr, multi million $ deal.

I guessed his reference was to Kozzie.  The club and his manager shut it down pretty quickly.  

But, I feel it is only a matter of time.

If he helps win another flag he's done his job and I'd wish him well - but I wouldn't like it.

    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?

    I hope we heavily into Andy Brayshaw.

    There is no doubt that Kozzie would like to play his footy in WA and that Freo are aware of this. A trade request was close this year so I’d said it’s likely next year.

    Kozzie is super close with Roy George. They’re essentially related so it will be interesting to see if his presence at the club helps.

    We had some good conversations with him but he’s told us that he’s happy in Perth and will be re-signing with Freo.

    Kossie and Shai Bolton would be some combo!

    Perhaps we could trade him for Jackson? He seems pretty good 

    Have heard we will also need to include his Mum on that deal to set her up in Melbourne

    We need list spot for George but sadly atm it doesn't look likely for 2025.

    With life getting busier and busier these days it’s easier to pass on going to the footy every week. One of the reasons I like to go these days is my kids. They love Koz. As do I.

    But I am realistic. I’ve heard from multiple great sources that it’s unlikely he’ll be a one-club player. 

    I am hoping to be wrong on that front.

    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

    Spot on. Kozzie and his partner Ardu are fully settled in Melb. End of story 👍🏽

    Kozzie hasn’t seen that revolting imaginary back page but he laughed when I told him about it and said it’s bs and to pay no attention to it. He and Ardu and Bellanie ain’t goin’ nowhere!

    Let’s not freak out about this saga again!!! Trac wants out, Clarry wants out, Kozzie wants out.

    Hope the club shuts it all out, we really need 2025 to become a good footy club and organisation again & the media remembers there’s 18 clubs in the competition

    Before Kozzie we had Davey, before him we had the Wiz.

    There’s always someone coming through the ranks.

    Rounds 1, 2 and 3 could provide a bit of an answer on what life will look like post Kozzie. One tough game and two winnables on paper.

    He's missed 8 games in his career and we're 4-4 in those results, but 1-3 in the last 4 games he's missed through suspension.

    Weirdly out of the 8 games he's missed, Brisbane and Sydney have been the beneficiaries of 5 of those.

    Why and where was it  said that KOZ stated he wants to play in WA. I have read that if a team came out of the Northern Territory he would want to play there but then I’m guessing most Aboriginal players would be keen to play in that team. I have however read in reputable articles (The Age for one) that he is very happy here and has interests outside of footy in Melb …

    If a suitable trade could’ve been facilitated during the 2024 Trade Period, he wouldn’t be playing for Melbourne in 2025. Last year was the closest this has been to fruition and it was instigated by the player.

    It’s not a matter of ‘if’ with Pickett, it’s ‘when’.

    I too think he'll end up in the West, but he'll do so on our terms.

    2027 gives Melbourne the right sort of leverage to demand good compensation.  If that's not possible at the end of 2025 then he stays and it can be revisited at the end of 2026.  It's pretty simple.

    • 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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’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.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’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 wasn’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  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
