He'll definitely leave at some point and I have no doubt about that.

Whether if that's the end of this year or when he's contract runs out, either way, we'll be fairly compensate if the right deal is there that suits us.

 

Given he’s contracted to 2027, the West Australian are getting waaaaaay ahead of themselves. 

I do doubt that Kozzy will be a one-club player but we aren’t trading him at the end of 2025 with 2 years to go. Look at Harry Petty, things can change quickly.

At the earliest, we could use him in a trade for Harley Reid when he comes back to Melbourne in 2 years. But only if he reeaaaally wants to go west. No way we trade him this year.

Did his manager say this?

Because a manager is always a beacon of truth and speaks for the benefit of ‘fans’ and not his client, yeah?

 

Media maggot garbage again, and all because of an incorrect reporting in the previous year when a Captain of an AFL side feigned injury, and caused an interrupted start to this season.

I was just asking. Calm down haha no need to melt. 

Who said it?

Win games and all this nonsense goes away quickly, Kossie stays happy as does Trac and co.

You can still win games and be happy at the same time and leave all at the same time. Just ask Alex Neale Bullen.

He clearly he wants to be around more extended family and me personally have no issues with at all even though he is my favourite player on the list and someone that gets me more excited since Jurrah, Farmer and Davey.

 

If he leaves and we get great compensation then that’s footy. We hold the upper hand over the next 2 seasons and if we can get George on the list who knows.

Sources…!?!?! What a vague click bait article.  

Haven’t you heard about journalism now? You don’t need to name a source, as long as you put the word in your article

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. 

 “No doubt” ????? As a famous ranga fish n chip shop owner once said ploise explain

Roy is Kozzie’s biological uncle. They’re super close as you say. But in terms of teammates it’s Ricky Mentha who will figure largely in Kozzie’s decision to stay with us, IMHO

Oh and you are a beacon of truth, yeah?

The amount of opinion stated as fact in this thread is ridiculous, even for Demonland standards.  This story has been swirling around since he joined the club and he hasn't gone anywhere.  And as yet, there has never been a credible source given for the remours.

Given he spent the Christmas break in NZ, not in WA or SA, he doesn't seem desperately homesick to me. 

I for one am already looking forward to the Fremantle 2026 death ride when we hold their future first round pick 

Let’s hope the sequel is just as good as the original

He told those close to him that he’d like to play his footy in front of his family with the Dockers in WA. I’d rather not divulge anymore if that’s ok. 

This is impossible - he was traded to Port Adelaide two years ago!

2026 and 2027 future 1sts, thanks - teams can trade two years in advance as of the end of this year, i believe, and while i don't think he'll be leaving to flagmantle at the end of the season, that'd be my opening requirement

at a minimum

i don't think it's too surprising that he might want to do this, but there's a lot of obstacles in the way to make it happen

And if he does go to WA, one silver lining will be Kane having a cry over it 😁

Firstly I know nothing, but the article is likely a management tactic to put a stake in the ground. Plenty of time for the two clubs to start putting together a deal that will satisfy all parties. Gives Freo plenty of time to work on other deals / contracts to find the cap space and picks to make it happen. If however they are into Warner, it’s really hard to see how that gets done. 

If Kozzy asked for a trade end of last season (or was contemplating it ) it wouldn’t be  far fetched that we asked for another year given what was going on and also a chance to convince him to stay.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
