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.

    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.

    • 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.
