KOZZY A DEMON FOR LIFE!!!

Featured Replies

This homesickness angle is a giant Rort! I fully believe that the element might exist, but the way it works if you are an AFL player is this, If you sign a long term contract ( like Kozzy) on good coin then you are BOUND to honour the terms of the deal.PERIOD! Freo and anyone else can park of, and Brayshaw can just shut up! Kozzy is signed for another 3 years and he is a Demon throughout! Time for players to understand and honour contracts!

    The media I believe are muckraking on this one.  Interesting how the headlines were very selective about Kozzy's quote - "I'm contracted there", yet, they deliberately left out of the headline what was following - "I'm contracted there.  I'm having fun at Melbourne, I love the club."  Paints a very different perspective, doesn't it?

    Also I got intel over the weekend that the texts Kozzy sent to his friends in Perth were sent last year, and was referring to playing in the indigenous team against Freo.  Again, paints a very different perspective.

    Would hate to see him go and or Judd leave however if home is really where they need to be we should absolutely be getting on the Harley Reid front now.

    I think people have their head in the sand if they think he doesn’t want to leave. He clearly does. Where there is smoke etc.

    But we don’t have to cave. He is contracted for 3 more years. He is only 23. His value to the club is huge - he is a fan fave. He is happy with the club itself and this is not the first time he has had homesickness (for WA, rather than SA this time). We know that his family is well supported in Melbourne (sure, he would probably have better support in WA). And he seemingly only wants to go to Freo, which is very different to Nibbler and Houston. His mates Walters and Narkle will probably be done at Freo this year or next. And what does Freo have to offer? Two picks around 15-18. No thanks.

    The club simply has to make a stand and not cave to the media. Keep supporting him to stay in Melbourne happy, as he was when he signed the contract, with lots of opportunities to visit family and friends. I think Peter Rhode is his manager (?) so not in one of those big management groups who pressure clubs into dealing contracted players.

    If Judd leaves I can see him in west coast colours more than Freos. Harley and Judd are very close I believe? Have seen them around Melbourne in the off season together a few times. If Kozzy wants out and we get a good deal and Judd wants to stay would you send some picks to the eagles for Harley or take it to the draft?

    There were texts about both and since when has Kossie known he was in the Ind Stars side not till relatively recently. 

    Surely some are out bounds and  little stoppage of some would not be out of order.

    Who is running this show ? 

    Us MFC and not Kossie. 

    I Tjink he is old enough to know what not to text and respect the other players and MFC people and fans.

    For what it's worth I'm gonna go with @Dannyz summing up of the situation and expect he'll be out the door at seasons end. Anything else will be a bonus.

    Strangely seeing Kane throw his name into this only makes me feel better. His mail, his intuition, and a lot of his analysis has been shown to be way off base. Oliver is the best and most recent example, his word was that Oliver will never get back to full fitness and his broken, and that we should trade him for a packet of chips.

    Cheers for cheering me up Kane!

    EDIT: He was also pushing hard the agenda that he was going to go to Port last season and this season. In footy scuttlebutt I would trust my dog's intuition over his.

    I like Kane Cornes analysis but his trade predictions are usually miles off. undermines his good work in other areas.

    Haven’t you heard SWYL, It’s not the media’s job to come up with plausible trades, just announce that someone is gone

    He doesn’t think that far ahead……………or is it that he simply doesn’t think?

    • GAMEDAY: Port Adelaide

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are on the road for the next month and will be desperate to claim a crucial win to keep their finals hopes alive against Port Adelaide.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
