KOZZY A DEMON FOR LIFE!!!

KLV

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.

    Football is a business. Let's try to win another flag or 2 before he leaves

    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!

    He would be hard to replace in the forward line, that's for sure

    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.

    Maybe Kozzie doesn't like travel.....

    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.

    Did his manager say this?

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
