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

This [censored] club

[Skuit 10,031]

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.

I'd hate to be in the trenches with you lot.

Weak as [censored].

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.

No, but there's a a fair bit going on at the MFC right now

[samcantstandya 1,045]

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.

Premiership glory has covered the cracks...

Perhaps we were all a little to bit happy with ourselves...

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.

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

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.

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!

These exit meetings may as well be held in public.

Maybe the club should’ve just posted transcripts of the exit interviews to reddit - how is all of this stuff leaking!!!!

Good question. Who the hell is leaking this stuff? And why? It can't  all be a media plot. Hard not to escape the impression the joint is run by buffoons. An impression reinforced by Goodwin's feeble, platitudinous pressers and a president who appears to have taken a vow of silence.
