Darcy is now on a contract that most wouldn’t touch.

Takes 1 mark a game and kicked 4 goals in a season.

Slow, heavy, injury prone, can’t play forward and 6 more years at about $1m a year.

Enjoy your time at the Dockers Sean.

I'm sure he is.

Starting with Brayshaw, would not bat an eyelid if he went! Gets reported and rubbed out too much. His ommisions in first 4 games are crucial.)

Yes early in his career but he's changed his play a lot, so I don't really agree.

Latest suspension was an absolute travesty. Moore slid low to take Kozzys legs out. 

Moore should have copped the suspension. Koz just braced for impact.

And yes it will definitely hurt us at the start of the season but it definitely wasn't his fault

I think it is one of the most pathetic suspensions I have ever seen.

One second before impact there would have been contact with Moore's stomach, as they both ran in for a loose ball.

Then inexplicably Moore drops to his knees.

The Collingwood supporting Tribunal Chairman struck again.

Yep, Christian is an absolute joke as the MRO.

Personally I am not fretting over anything that I cannot control, I’m going to enjoy going to the footy with my family members and surrounding supporters and barrack for the boys like my life depends on it I will enjoy the Demon Army over to my right and hopefully enjoy my 4n20 pie, get a seat in the Rydder Room at 1/2 time and hopefully see us win a final or three in ‘25. I will love Kozzie whilst he is in the Red n Blue and not so much if he’s not.

We lack a small forward with Kozzy, let alone without him. 

An elite small forward is a desperate list need if not 2 of them if Kozzy departs at any point over the next few years.

Agreed. We should go hard at one in the offseason even if Kozzy stays

Agree somewhat, but the hawks went for Ginnivan and then picked up Watson (note we would’ve taken Watson at the next pick). We do have to pull the trigger on someone we think can be a 30+ goal kicker as a small forward

I'm thinking is poor Christian  intellectually incapable of filling his brief.

But it is the old fogeys club.

When Maynard gets nothing for ending a career and Kozzie gets 3 for an unlucky bump, the system is stuffed.

The BS technicalities applied to get big club’s players off like Cripps, who ended a Lions’ season, are symptomatic of a money above all else based sport.

It's a blow that we drafted for needs in 2019 and 1. Jackson is gone. 2 Kozzie might be out the door.

We obtained good compensation for Jackson but he would have made a big difference in 23. The compensation is just starting to get going.

That the club has been silent on Gleesons obvious conflict - most specifically the Maynard case - has turned me right off the club. Shockingly soft.

Dare we say that there is an AFL CULTURE, and not just a Carlton Club crudeness.

A pencil sharpener if ever I'm lead to believe.

No where did I say they do. Just because they don’t “grow on trees” doesn’t make it any less of a need…

[censored], they’re everywhere

We were very interested in small forward Joe Berry from last year's draft who went to Port Adelaide.

Jason Taylor and his team made several trips up the border here to Wangaratta to interview over the course of the year.

Maybe worth keeping an eye on over the next few years.

Just like chicken man !

Back to Kozzy if we do well and get to a preliminary, if he does go, we will get VG compensation given he has a three week holiday, it's time for a couple of others to show us what they have,

If he wants to go, I guess you can't stop him.  Lets win the flag, then if he wants to go, let the WA clubs pay top dollar for him.


I luv Kossy, but the season hasn't even started and already i'm sick of this thread. 

I know it won't stop, so i'm opting out for my own sanity.

We have to hope that Ricky and Roy are up to it and Roy gets onto the list.

That then would give us the small forward depth, with Kozzie as number 1 of course.

I have this feeling about Roy, if he can get on the list and get fully fit and totally committed, he appears to have that special talent.

  • 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?
