surely we're not looking at bell for the ceo role??

I don't know. I assume the media linked us because he was out of a job and we need a new CEO

 

With an important season in front of this club, I will wait until seasons end to worry about Picket or any other move by players at the end of the season.

I enjoy watching Pickett play in the red and blue and hope I can watch him in our colours for a lot longer. However, this is professional sport and the players play for teams for all sorts of reasons. 

I, as a supporter, have followed the Demons ever since I can remember and will continue to do so no matter who is in the team or on the list. If Pickett, or any player choses to leave for another team, so be it. Swings and round-a-bouts.

I support my team first and then the players.

 

P.S. it will be interesting to watch the interaction of Kossie with the Freo players at the end of the game on the 15th Feb.

In terms of trade value, and assuming Kozzie doesn't have an amazing All Australian year, you couldn't expect more that what they paid for Shai Bolton. Essentially 10 and 18 to Richmond with a few things going back to Freo (11 also went to Richmond but they gave 14 back to Freo)

Bolton has an All Australian under his belt.

 

The difference being Richmond were willing participants in that trade as they sought to fast track a re-build (and Shai is several years older than Koz and was pretty average last yr).

I tend to think that Kozzie’s comment about wanting to play in WA with the Indigenous team has been construed that he wants to play for Freo. Poetic license ..Tom Morris ..Sam McClure are perennial offenders 

 

It's pretty obvious where he wants to be. I don't think it's been posted but he liked this post not long ago.

Pretty unprofessional behaviour to be doing that knowing it can be publicly seen.

Also talk that Freo are heavily into Ian Hill from Collingwood.

Norm Smith medallist that's getting paid a pittance with Collingwood ($400,000 per year)

And the Chad (Warner).

Contracted so one can play hard ball. We should be targeting some Freo players in return.

His other uncle seemed pretty keen for him to commit to MFC. We'll see.

If that's the case Freo are going to have to get really creative and involve a third or fourth club as they appear to be on the rise and will likely hold mid teen + first round draft picks for the next couple of years.

Or they could hand over Josh Treacy to solve our forward line woes, but they won't.

He also didn’t follow the MFC on Instagram up until sometime late last year, but has actively liked and followed the Dockers for a fair while. 
 

I had a few time-stamped screenshots but have seemingly deleted them.

Unprofessional? Maybe. Or perhaps he's got a sense of humour and is just trolling Fremantle and its supporters. 

I have no concerns about him leaving.

I was watching a small portion of the greatest game in the AFL era last night (which i do in times of stress).  

For those like me who couldn't actually see it live, it occurred at the end of the 2021 season.

On his right forearm Kozzie had inscribed the word "loyalty".  

I admit I hadn't previously noted it (despite watching the game more than once) but it clearly indicates he is going nowhere.

Well hopefully he doesn’t have a map of WA and $$$$$ tattooed on his right and left b-TT cheek

Surely they have a growing salary cap issue…

Doesn’t ever seem to be a problem for some teams 

I really hope Kozzy stays it would be a very bitter pill to swallow loosing both he and LJ to flogmantle 

It will also be devastating for many young demon supporters

It helps to have 'rusted on' sponsors who indulge a bit of (extra) nepotism. 

These days the AFL seems to turn a blind eye to such things.

Hey Im 64... and it would still be devastating. Kozzy is my favourite player and one of our most important.

Starting with Brayshaw, would not bat an eyelid if he went! Gets reported and rubbed out too much. His ommisions in first 4 games are crucial.)

  • 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.
