the likes of whately or other commentators who keep calling him a 'small forward' clearly don't watch us play

pickett is tracking to be the next dangerfield, martin, petracca - a midfielder who can go forward and impact scoreboard

sure, it's taken him until the year in which he turns 24 when the likes of danger or neck tatts or trac were playing as pure mids, but make no mistake - koz is tracking to be as impactful as those guys, or the likes of jordan dawson or cameron rayner

in short, he's a match-winner and a game-changer

    Barrett’s take is probably the dumbest yet. We signed up a generational talent on a multi million dollar deal for 9 years to avoid negative PR. I am not sure he realises how stupid this is.

    Not because we didn't want a negative pr battle. Because we didn't want to lose a generational talent. Long contracts protect clubs. Petracca and Oliver are also talents we can't afford to lose and are performing well, after coming back from life threatening injuries and personal issues. Had it not been for their contracts we would have lost them both.

    If Kozzie wants to leave in a couple of years time it will be very difficult for a deal to get done. But frankly, I don't think it's likely if we start contending again and keep supporting him through his home sickness.

    Did you watch the chat Whateley had with Simmo? He specifically pointed out that he's far more than a small forward.

    It could be true but I wouldn't be putting too much stock in Schwarz's mail.

    Sure, Kossie might still want to "make noises about playing in WA", but Barrett seems not to realise that the longer contract gives us a stronger hand in any trade negotiations. This would result in a better deal for us if a trade does happen.

    Thanks for posting that. I have been avoiding reading his crud and that confirms my decision was correct.

    Yeah basically if Kozzy wants to go home and a WA team is willing to take on his money then they would obviously value him highly enough that we're going to get a very good ROI.

    Also I can’t remember if it was @Dannyz or @goodwindees who said earlier in this thread that was a growing number of people within the club that were becoming tired of having to bend over backwards for Kossie.

    Massive statement, regardless of who said it. “… a growing number of people…”??! I don’t believe this to be true but if it is true, I suppose we’ll all see the effects soon enough, because there’s no way this wouldn’t manifest itself in ways that can be hidden.

    Yeah that and about 12.5 million other reasons 😉

    Totally agree. Whilst Tracca and Gawn might be BOG at times they are not in the game changer category. Did we pay overs? perhaps a fraction but no one will remember in 9 years time. Provided Kozzie doesnt get reported.

    To be fair it is Damian Barrett, you don't get much dumber than him.

    Blokes of his mental capacity (ch9) sit and wait for us to mistake and then they criticise.

    I haven't read much of this thread.

    My thoughts on Kossie is we paid too much and for too long.

    Geelong became a destination club partly due to the stars not getting the most out of their salary. Sacrifice led to success. I think there is alot of selfishness in our club, many playing for themselves.

    We have an overblooted top end and Kossie now joins them.

    If they were getting us wins when needed I wouldn't be so critical.

    We are underachievers, the players are comfortable, and lack the ability to make each other better.

    They sell this year as being of love, previous years it was brand or cohesion. Seems like they continue to fail at the rhetoric. Having an unequal approach to the players in terms of enumerations, will end in vexation from a few.

    The club only succeeds when we are less selfish, difficult for the 43 to be in it together.

    Will we be a destination club, with a restricted cap?

    We have become a get out here type of club.

    The level of bottom 6 of the best 22, is often a determinant of success.

    Past evidence of Tracc and Clarry have shown that these kind of contracts haven't worked out well. Beyond the effect on the other players, those on that kind of contract become a disruption and unappreciative.

    Don’t even bother reading the dribble out of his mouth and Korn for that matter too. All too look at mee for my liking.

    Waste of space the both of them.

    • 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.
