He'll definitely leave at some point and I have no doubt about that.

Whether if that's the end of this year or when he's contract runs out, either way, we'll be fairly compensate if the right deal is there that suits us.

 

Given he’s contracted to 2027, the West Australian are getting waaaaaay ahead of themselves. 

I do doubt that Kozzy will be a one-club player but we aren’t trading him at the end of 2025 with 2 years to go. Look at Harry Petty, things can change quickly.

At the earliest, we could use him in a trade for Harley Reid when he comes back to Melbourne in 2 years. But only if he reeaaaally wants to go west. No way we trade him this year.

Did his manager say this?

Because a manager is always a beacon of truth and speaks for the benefit of ‘fans’ and not his client, yeah?

 

Media maggot garbage again, and all because of an incorrect reporting in the previous year when a Captain of an AFL side feigned injury, and caused an interrupted start to this season.

Win games and all this nonsense goes away quickly, Kossie stays happy as does Trac and co.

You can still win games and be happy at the same time and leave all at the same time. Just ask Alex Neale Bullen.

He clearly he wants to be around more extended family and me personally have no issues with at all even though he is my favourite player on the list and someone that gets me more excited since Jurrah, Farmer and Davey.

 

If he leaves and we get great compensation then that’s footy. We hold the upper hand over the next 2 seasons and if we can get George on the list who knows.

Sources…!?!?! What a vague click bait article.  

Haven’t you heard about journalism now? You don’t need to name a source, as long as you put the word in your article

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. 

 “No doubt” ????? As a famous ranga fish n chip shop owner once said ploise explain

Roy is Kozzie’s biological uncle. They’re super close as you say. But in terms of teammates it’s Ricky Mentha who will figure largely in Kozzie’s decision to stay with us, IMHO

Oh and you are a beacon of truth, yeah?

The amount of opinion stated as fact in this thread is ridiculous, even for Demonland standards.  This story has been swirling around since he joined the club and he hasn't gone anywhere.  And as yet, there has never been a credible source given for the remours.

Given he spent the Christmas break in NZ, not in WA or SA, he doesn't seem desperately homesick to me. 

I for one am already looking forward to the Fremantle 2026 death ride when we hold their future first round pick 

Let’s hope the sequel is just as good as the original

He told those close to him that he’d like to play his footy in front of his family with the Dockers in WA. I’d rather not divulge anymore if that’s ok. 

This is impossible - he was traded to Port Adelaide two years ago!

2026 and 2027 future 1sts, thanks - teams can trade two years in advance as of the end of this year, i believe, and while i don't think he'll be leaving to flagmantle at the end of the season, that'd be my opening requirement

at a minimum

i don't think it's too surprising that he might want to do this, but there's a lot of obstacles in the way to make it happen

And if he does go to WA, one silver lining will be Kane having a cry over it 😁

Firstly I know nothing, but the article is likely a management tactic to put a stake in the ground. Plenty of time for the two clubs to start putting together a deal that will satisfy all parties. Gives Freo plenty of time to work on other deals / contracts to find the cap space and picks to make it happen. If however they are into Warner, it’s really hard to see how that gets done. 

If Kozzy asked for a trade end of last season (or was contemplating it ) it wouldn’t be  far fetched that we asked for another year given what was going on and also a chance to convince him to stay.

  • 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?
