But my only question, and I'd appreciate if it could be answered respectfully without being gaslit or accused of not watching/knowing anything about the game, is if the idea of the deal is to protect our bargaining power in future trades then why would it be a terrible idea to exercise this right now with 2 years left on his current contract and make this offer in 12 months time? Is it a case of his price only going up? Being super proactive and striking while the iron is hot?

There are a number of reasons

1- When he has only 1 year left on his contract (next year), we have a lot less leverage

2- Signing him now allows us to plan our cap for the future and know what money we have to offer any free agent or player we would like to chase in the trade period. You'd hate to overpay some B grader from another club only to then not have the money to keep a generational talent like Kosi later on. Also allows us to put extensions to the likes of Lindsay, Langford, Bowey etc.

3- Securing Kosi gives other players we might be chasing the security that we have someone of his quality on our list for the next decade. It makes us a more competitive side, AND it puts to bed a lot of noise around our culture etc. If players of his ilk want to be at the club, it says a lot about the club itself. Don't underestimate how much the Trac debacle last year cost us at the trade table!

4- You strike while the iron is hot. Kosi is obviously happy, loving his footy and playing great. He was willing to talk so you talk. Plus imagine if we wait until next year, the way he's headed he would be worth even more money!

    Whilst some might not like the length, you can’t argue the money and just imagine how you’d feel if he was playing at Fremantle next year or the year after. Sit in that pool of sludge for a moment. Personally I think it’s a powerful statement by the club and Kozz. All power to them!

    Massive MASSIVE credit to our club, that everyone loves to pot and tell you has the worst culture.

    We have gone above and beyond to make Kosi and his family feel embraced, loved and and looked after.

    This contract is a testament to their unwavering support of Kosi from day one, most especially Goody!

    Just once, try and have a good day as a Melbourne supporter who just secured the signature of one of the hottest players in the game.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
