KOZZY A DEMON FOR LIFE!!!

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?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
