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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
