Have seen the alleged texts. I’m pretty sure Kozzie is referring to playing in the all stars game vs Freo on the 15th. 

Too much to hope for, an apology from Ralphy?

And maybe, while he's at it, a general admission, that they all do this, ALL THE TIME!?

Ralph is a professional guesser.

He deadset has no idea. Don't waste your energy

thanks, and as this sent in 2024, next year means this year

finally, are there any other texts that ralph may be alluding to?

You would imagine if he wants to leave, the Dees would know/find out and would be into the homesick Harley Reid.

I think Kozzie will stay.

I'm getting lost with all the joking etc on this (and other) threads.

 

Is this genuinely the text that Jon Ralph was referring to? If so, then it is certainly equivocal and the situation is unnecessarily out of hand.

We don’t play Freo until March 2. 

Any reference to “seeing people on the 15th” would be Saturday week when he’s an Indigenous All Star v Freo at Optus. I think.

He blocked me on Twitter so clearly has no idea.

Can remember John Ralph swearing black and blue on SEN that the Crows would sign him as coach, whilst on most other stations they were covering Goodwin being announced as coach of MFC.

Bloke is a nuffie

Nah, it's the short par 5, water on the right.

This is it? lol. 

He’s just a good bloke looking forward to playing in the game next week.

The future will bring whatever it brings but we don’t have to bring it to fruition with wringing hands and worried looks.

If it wasn't obvious, you missed the disclaimer

Now, I ask you in all seriousness: if Kozzie’s heart is elsewhere would the toy In Bellanie’s cot be there? Methinks not. 😅

It’s a DA tradition… our awesome resident knitter buys a big stuffed toy and knits a guernsey with the player’s number on the back. It’s given to the player in question just before or just after the birth. And I have the job of courier 🥰

I don’t think it means he’s guaranteed to stay…. But it is nice to see!

Right? They’re always super grateful and some send us pics of their baby with the toy. Maysie sent us pics of little Millie cuddling hers even though it was kinda bigger than her. 🥹

Not only that, but she does an awesome job!  ❤️💙

I don’t discount the possibility that Kozie may leave the club.

Much like I don’t discount the possibility that we won’t win the flag this year.

In both cases, I hope the discounts I apply to these possibilities turn out to be ill-founded.

Well after that little doozy, i'm gonna do what no one's had the courage to do here so far and call out your nemesis sir.  Be afraid, be VERY afraid for what's about to follow...

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!

The cheek on these freo players... no wonder they'll never win a premiership.

This should be seen as tampering, and player/club warned before sanctions for subsequent instances.
