Your credibility is lower than Sam McClure's right now.  It's hard to believe anything you say.

Sorry, can't agree.

Which is a pretty sad indictment on McClure!

 

Kozzie was in Bunbury to play in a carnival game last weekend with the clubs blessing along with Neville Jetta.

Houston himself said he was a Dee until Trac decided to be a princess

Are you referring to his response to Maher and Gaze on SEN, SS22?

I recommend another listen then: he wanted to come home, not to a specific club, at the end of the year, Hinkley supported this, his manager then put to him the possibility of a specific destination, and he rejected it because 'throughout the year there was a little bit of unrest at Melbourne, it seemed, and it probably wasn't the best thing for me to do and I'd rather not go there'.

So, he never was a Dee, and for not-specific reasons. According to himself.

As Paul Connors said Melbourne were never giving up a top 5 pick.

Melbourne had him on the hook. I’m glad he jumped off but he was most certainly on.

Well, there was evidently a hook cast, with his Manager then dangling off it...

My post was only an attempt to clarify what Houston said, in response to what it was said he said.

It's interesting the breadth of opinions on Houston, and (the many?) other recruitment options. I think I'm in your camp on this one.

If you want to go around claiming you are quoting what was said then please get it right. Here is actually what he said. 

"My Manager said Melbourne are keen and I think we can get you home and we can keep it quiet.

“I guess throughout the year there was a bit of unrest at Melbourne it seemed,” Houston told SEN’s The Run Home.

“I let my manager know that it probably wasn’t the best thing for me – I’d probably rather not go there and that sort of opened everything right up and that’s when it opened things up for everyone else and I had to go through the whole process again.”

What are you talking about when you say I recommend another listen. 

It's clear from this quote that he was on to go to Melbourne when his Manager said it but then throughout the year there was a bit of unrest and then he told his Manager it wasn't the best thing for him and that's when it opened things up for everyone else and he says I had to go through the whole process again. 

 

Why are we talking about Houston in the Kozzie thread.

 Actually your question should be why are we talking about Houston full stop. 
I would reply sorry you’re right. I got sucked in. 
Then I would say why are we talking in a Kozzie forum titled him wanting to go home when he hasn’t. 

Edited by Its Time for Another

Perhaps Houston is homesick, like Kossie?

(now I'm talking aabout him)

Bit he was according to all reputable journos going to go to US until the Petracca saga.

That is undeniable that he favoured us 3 mths ago then changed his mind. 

🫡

Hope he stays.

A club can't limit itself to picking only local players but it if it's a choice between two similar players, it's getting to the point to pick the player in the same state.

Love you Kozzie. Must be hard for him with a young family.

Edited by leave it to deever


Time to put this thread to bed until next year, need to concentrate on those that are joining our club in the near future. So glad that Kozzie ended up staying, actually very happy that Kozzie never actually put in a request for transfer Nor Nominated another club. Let’s hope that MFC can find a suitable scenario for Kozz and family that will get them home when needed and that he and family feel really secure and surrounded by a loving family club that we can all feel proud of. 

Onto football matters, one of Kozzie’s goals next season is not to get booked with the MRO.

His absence will absolutely cost us at least one game early next year due to his ability to kick a 3, 4 or 5 goal haul every now and then. And we’re not in a position to be throwing away games.

Fremantle Dockers in box seat to land homesick Melbourne Demons star Kysaiah Pickett after 2025 season

Sorry to be 'that person', just wondering if anyone without pay wall can post what this is about? I assume it'll be click-bait, but interested if anything new here or just re-hashed manure?

it'll be the same story as every year; kozi is homesick and wants to go home to sa...no, wait...wa...no, wait, sa...maybe the nt?

he's contracted til the end of 2027; if he wants to go he wants to...at the end of the year

The latter

It will sell papers in the west.  They cant land him and the dodger from the swans.  Would take 3 first rounders.

Also, he has NO interest in going home, with his partner and her family from Melb (as i understand it)….

So.. F off click baiters

 

Can the Hun run a story tomorrow with Serong, Brayshaw, and Pumpernickel (I know two Freo players) in Dees gear?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
