Kozzy Homesick & Wants to Leave?


KLV

Recommended Posts

There should be automatic financial penalties for players who wish to break contracts. A portion of their future club contract is returned to their previous club as compensation. They still will be well paid anyway so can’t moan about hardship.

McVee already flagged he wants to return to Perth. It was a very early interview before he'd found any success. But I expect it to happen one day once he has adequately increased his worth to be able to make the request

One thing is for sure….STOP DRAFTING PLAYERS FROM WA and SA

Petracca and Jordan were not.

We need to invest in a club creche to better support the likes of Kozzie and ANB in their transition to fatherhood and provide space for Christian Petracca to feel loved and nurtured through cuddles and story time.

We will drop 10k supporters minimum if Koz and Trac leave .

If you're talking about game day we'll go into negative attendance figures.

Yeah it was a long time ago - I'd need to scour the net for every interview McVee has ever done. Might have been a pod actually from memory, early on in his career. Said he'd like to return to WA one day. Could have meant post footy and he was very early, but pricked my ears at the time.

Next to the club rehab centre? We'll have a village, rather than a training base.

The Media must hate us. They didn't go after Tyson Stengle from Geelong when he had that incident in Geelong a few weeks back. It was barely reported. However, they come for us repeatedly. Why are we fair game to them. Now they're suggesting Kossie wants out with 3 years left on his contract because he's homesick. Ignore that his partner is very close to her sister who's also in Melbourne and that Kossie has family in SA & WA so where is home? Also that his uncle Byron encouraged him to accept our offer which he did. So because we were sympathetic to Alex Neal-Bullen, we'll open the floodgates. I want us to take a stand.

5 days since our season ended and this is already worse than our last off season 

Not sure we will make it through another 6 months

We need Goody and Perty to get on the front foot and double down on their last double down about our culture being great before we lose control of the narrative here.

For what it's worth, the apparent talk from outer circles of the club is he won't be leaving. The homesickness is very real, and the club and his management are working on plans to help get him back to family more often, but there's been no indication he's actually wanting to ask for a trade. Take it as you would from a new Demonland member such as myself of course, and I only post this as rumour, but hopefully it is indeed the case.

Is that the sound of rapidly exiting footsteps on the gravel I hear?

His family, at least his immediate family live pretty far from Adelaide and Perth. So I imagine the homesickness will be there regardless of where he lives. 
I have no doubt he will end his career elsewhere, but everything I’ve heard recently is that Kosi is happy at Melbourne and loves Goody and his partner is happy here too.
I also don’t think his manager would come out and shut down trade rumours a week ago, if Kosi was telling him he wanted a trade.

I doubt Kosi only got home sick on Monday.

Yes, very good comments. I think perhaps the scenario has been he's gone into the exit meeting and during the conversation has perhaps asked what more could be done in terms of him seeing family more often during the year. It would not be completely surprising that a leak from such an intimate meeting would eventually get wires crossed in the factual information.

I am more concerned about who is doing the leaking. 
I know Trac and Kos used to be very close. Did he mention something to him and he leaked it to make it look like our club is imploding?

Surely not!

At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he

The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
