KOZZY A DEMON FOR LIFE!!!

KLV
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

It may be click bait but not sure we should dismiss this.

A poster who is usually well informed (can't remember who) mentioned in a training thread that Goodwin was annoyed last year at a recruiter closely watching a particular player.  That club got the player's trade request on a 7yr, multi million $ deal.

I guessed his reference was to Kozzie.  The club and his manager shut it down pretty quickly.  

But, I feel it is only a matter of time.

If he helps win another flag he's done his job and I'd wish him well - but I wouldn't like it.

    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?

    I hope we heavily into Andy Brayshaw.

    There is no doubt that Kozzie would like to play his footy in WA and that Freo are aware of this. A trade request was close this year so I’d said it’s likely next year.

    Kozzie is super close with Roy George. They’re essentially related so it will be interesting to see if his presence at the club helps.

    We had some good conversations with him but he’s told us that he’s happy in Perth and will be re-signing with Freo.

    Kossie and Shai Bolton would be some combo!

    Perhaps we could trade him for Jackson? He seems pretty good 

    Have heard we will also need to include his Mum on that deal to set her up in Melbourne

    We need list spot for George but sadly atm it doesn't look likely for 2025.

    With life getting busier and busier these days it’s easier to pass on going to the footy every week. One of the reasons I like to go these days is my kids. They love Koz. As do I.

    But I am realistic. I’ve heard from multiple great sources that it’s unlikely he’ll be a one-club player. 

    I am hoping to be wrong on that front.

    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

    Spot on. Kozzie and his partner Ardu are fully settled in Melb. End of story 👍🏽

    Kozzie hasn’t seen that revolting imaginary back page but he laughed when I told him about it and said it’s bs and to pay no attention to it. He and Ardu and Bellanie ain’t goin’ nowhere!

    He would be hard to replace in the forward line, that's for sure

    Let’s not freak out about this saga again!!! Trac wants out, Clarry wants out, Kozzie wants out.

    Hope the club shuts it all out, we really need 2025 to become a good footy club and organisation again & the media remembers there’s 18 clubs in the competition

    Before Kozzie we had Davey, before him we had the Wiz.

    There’s always someone coming through the ranks.

    Rounds 1, 2 and 3 could provide a bit of an answer on what life will look like post Kozzie. One tough game and two winnables on paper.

    He's missed 8 games in his career and we're 4-4 in those results, but 1-3 in the last 4 games he's missed through suspension.

    Weirdly out of the 8 games he's missed, Brisbane and Sydney have been the beneficiaries of 5 of those.

    Maybe Kozzie doesn't like travel.....

    Why and where was it  said that KOZ stated he wants to play in WA. I have read that if a team came out of the Northern Territory he would want to play there but then I’m guessing most Aboriginal players would be keen to play in that team. I have however read in reputable articles (The Age for one) that he is very happy here and has interests outside of footy in Melb …

    If a suitable trade could’ve been facilitated during the 2024 Trade Period, he wouldn’t be playing for Melbourne in 2025. Last year was the closest this has been to fruition and it was instigated by the player.

    It’s not a matter of ‘if’ with Pickett, it’s ‘when’.

    I too think he'll end up in the West, but he'll do so on our terms.

    2027 gives Melbourne the right sort of leverage to demand good compensation.  If that's not possible at the end of 2025 then he stays and it can be revisited at the end of 2026.  It's pretty simple.

    Did his manager say this?

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
